When To Harvest?

awesome read! thanks for the info, i think it just helped me from going into a late harvest. i never knew that checking the calyxes could help determine peak ripeness....

That's right, "Magnify your buds"; it's the only way to view the THC production factory.

Great literature, much needed help. Also when I start to lose my discipline I revert back to this article to regain it.

That's normal. If you have sufficient, healthy foliage, you can progressively harvest. That's what I do... harvest what's ready, leaving the rest to finish a bit longer. That way I usually don't cut off more than I can trim, as well.

Plant on the right shows enough healthy foliage to support the growth of the lower buds.

man im new to this site but i have a ? im growing 4 plants in the same pot is that bad

it honestly depends on how big the pot is and how long. and with 4 plant you would want a pot that is wider as opposed to tall so they can fill out. Can you give a better description of what you have and what light source, a more powerful light makes soil dry out faster so you would need a bigger pot then as oppsed to a flourescent t5 set up. soo many variables. how long vegging is also a variable

Guys, I am 4 days away from day# 55 of flowering, which is a minimum maturity time according to the seed bank (55-60). I am looking for a heady high on these ladies, the trichomes are milky and the pistils are in majority red/amberish. I need someone to define the early harvest process, is early harvest before the maturity period of 55-60 days?
