To harvest, or not to harvest
GrowZaddy
started grow question 1y ago
Curious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment. Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

Where to dry
the question is where to dry. Inside my room i can improvise some dark place but i cant garantie good temp and humidity because its summer now. I can put on the garage but i have only 18°C and 60Rh and no electricity, i have other garage with probably the same conditions.

It's the start of wk.6 if I may please get a check on harvest timeline and also double check that the pistils are not bananas to my untrained eyes. Thank you :)

Harvest time soon?
Trichs are almost all milky but most pistils haven't turned brown yet. My question to the novices and pros in our community is when to harvest this? Not all plants exhibit the same signs so I've included representative bud shots. I prefer an "up" buzz not the amber couch lock.

Small bud rot - Harvest or finish off? 9 weeks into flower
I've had to cut about a 1 inch section off the top of one of my colas due to what appears to be rot. I've checked the rest of the plant and can't see anywhere else that has been effected. Should I harvest now to be on the safe side or let it finish up?

Harvest: I don’t know what’s coming ahead
I’m 5 weeks into flower, maybe 3 weeks left, that’s enough time to get anything I’m missing. I watched some vids on youtube. Can someone give me some steps to follow for harvest and what I might need? I have CBD plants, bud formation is not like regular THC plants.

14th day of dry. Small bit of offcut bud reading 58% in 1 ounch grove bag overnight.
14th day of dry. Temp/RH have been around 60/60, but not getting snap from stems. Did trim yesterday and took a good deal of dry leaves by simply pulling gently / running the scissors over them. Would you cut and jar at this point or leave until stems are brittle?

Harvest
Does it seem like I'm ready to harvest? I'm looking for about 20-30% amber trichomes, but I don't want to lose growth potential either. This is an auto, probably Early Miss- week 13 from seed. They're bud pictures from an outdoor grow. TIA

Autoflower: Harvesting in Sections
Hello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

Yield
How much can i yield with a 240 watt led? Its my first grow with a led light and ive read everything from 0.5 - 3g per watt. I know it depends a lot on how good of a farmer you are, but what are your experiences?

CW ready?
Hi there, this is my other beauty Crystal white, checked the trichomes today and I notice amber, these photos are from same plant just different buds. So it seems pretty consistent, is this what I'm looking for, like she's ready to harvest? She's about 56 or so days old

Harvest time or?
I'm on day 80. I observe that trichomes are changing. However, I am not sure about harvesting at the right time because it is my first grow. Genetics 75% indica , please help! (By watering empty, I reduced it to 300-400 ppm.) is this too early?
