For harvest

The 3 small l once are all NL seeds so ..Lets hope for f emale :O) They are 10 days under 12/12 now ..I started them early ..Lets hope they are female and stay smaller ..I could not have anything more then one plant if they are all as big as my current

Ohh better add some pics ..These are from a few days ago when I cleaned out cupboard and installed the 2 extra CF for the seedlings ..
Check out the size ...Easy the same size as me ..And notice How i had to train/bend it

It looks great.
If I were you I'd pinch away all the lower growth and discard it.
The lower buds will be small, weightless and not as potent. Plus its a pain in the ass to remove the leaves from thoes small-buds.
If there aren't any lower buds the upper buds will fat up more because the plant will use more energy on that.

7 weeks and 1 day in Flowering

Surely I must be getting done now
Some bigger leaves are slightly turning yellow ..Iam not worried :O)
Now i flushed the plant about 3 days ago with a Lot of water ..Since then I dont feed anymore

Theres a harvesting and curing forum, check it out.
I'd say you have about a week and a half left.

Whenever the plant needs watering flush it with phed water with 3 times what it can take. You'll see a very dirty drain at first, which is what we do that for - taking the crap off the soil and roots and clean up the plant.

Plants are looking nice and healthy...just don't get too eager and start chopping early!

You need to get a microscope (at least 30x) and start checking the transparency of your trichomes. The earliest you can consider harvesting is when a majority of the heads have turned cloudy/milky. They begin clear, become cloudy and then a dark amber. The more amber you allow (i.e. the longer you wait before you harvest) the more "stoney" the high is supposed to be (as opposed to a more "head" high if you harvest when the trichs are cloudy).

There is a definite window of harvest where potency is at it's peak...you dont want to be too early or too late. Radioshack sells scopes for under $20. You've done a nice job so far, but the operation is far from complete.

Read up on drying and curing...you don't want to dry too fast, and you DEFINITELY don't want MOLD.

Thanks Jerry
I read a lot in the past few days on curing ..
there are 2 main ways

I will opt ofr the following

Cut main leaves hang to dry one week ..
Next cut smaller leaves and trim the bud and but in Jars
Every day open jar to let air to them do this for 2 weeks ..Then seperate what u smoke and keep the jar tight on the rest for when u need it ..
Basically do not open 10 times a day the BIG jar to get sme smoke out ..
That way the buds stay fresh a long time
Sounds all reasonable to me 3 weeks to smoke
