    Default Is she ready to harvest?

    Hi, first grow, bagseed, it has been 51 days in 12/12 light, and I am wondering how close to done she is. For some reason I can never tell,though I have stared and stared at her. My gut is she is geting close, but I am worried because the lower buds don't seem as developed as the top ones. Anyhow, here are pics, please help me gauge when to chop!

    the lower buds will never be as done as the top ones. this has as much to do with the physical attributes of a plant as it does with the relative distance to the light source.

    you will have to make the call on a grow by grow basis when you want to harvest, you might want to take it when the very top buds finish and have all the lower ones a little pre-me, or you may want to let the colas get a little more amber and focus your timing on the buds a few inches lower. Its totally your call.

    grats on your first grow, i hope its smooth sailing from here out.

    2-3 weeks for the lower buds IMO,the cola is looking like 1-2 weeks and it will be ready

    51 days from 12/12 or 51 days from flower? I usually go 70 days total flower... however get a microfine glass and look at the triacomes. wait til they are about half cloudy half amber that is the real way to know for sure.. just don't harvest before the last "plump"


    I'd say 2.5 more weeks

    IMHO, you have a good 4 to 5 weeks left. Don't rush it, those few extra weeks ( as long as your trichs aren't degrading on you ) can mean a better yield. Patience truly is a virtue.
