Hello.. Yes ur shots are gud.. U can claerly see most of glands have gone milky so maybe another wk or 2 b4 u get 10-20%amber..i also notice u have ur light schedule on 4 more than 12hrs whilst autos in bloom?.. Dropping hr per day shud stress her into developing more swollen glands.. Saty safe and hope she turns out a great smoke for u.. 👍

Pre-harvest Care My question is related to harvest techniques. I have seen where several diaries talk about water restrictions the last 1-2 days prior to harvest and also about placing the plant(s) in the dark for 4-7 days prior to harvest. I would like to hear from the master growers on it. TY

When to harvest?Hey guys, so this is my first grow and I’m doing an all organic grow using dry amendments from Gaia green. I don’t expect top shelf trophy buds from this considering it’s my first grow but I wanted to know if anyone knows when I should harvest these plants?

Dry pistills?Noticed a few Pistils on the plant have started to dry up at their tips. Is this expected or an issue? Light is 16" away, but with the stretch she does get closer than that from time to time.

Hey everybody, just wondering about the reasoning behind putting your plant into darkness before the harvest? Does this do something to the trichomes or the THC or CBD levels? Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks Much👊

Herma?This is auto lemon haze. Flowers have calyxes like this. No bananas, no pollen sacs. But some of these calyxes have seeds inside. Is this a herma? Does it reduce efficiency? Can I use the seeds?
