I still see lots of white pistols. Trichromes look cloudy yet? Looks like you got at least a week or two left. Hard to tell without trichrome pics. Lookin good though

Ugh I wish I could take a picture of the trichomes, but I can’t even get a steady look myself! Haha. Thank you!I still see lots of white pistols. Trichromes look cloudy yet? Looks like you got at least a week or two left. Hard to tell without trichrome pics. Lookin good though

she looks like she could go another 2-3 weeks.. but the bottom line is on your preference ... I personally would let it go for a couple more weeks.. and I would give her a tiny bit of food.. I would say you jump the gun on flushing already....

I probably did, but I thought I would harvest at 8wks, so I wanted a full two weeks of flush. In week 7 when I realized I wasn’t harvesting as soon as I thought, I gave her a little nute boost. I’ll mix up a little more!
It’s difficult to know the timing. Some say 8 weeks, some say longer. Some say go by the trichomes. Some say harvest early since she’s high CBD.

Yah she’s not ready yet several weeks to go also don’t look at the leaves only the bud. The leaves will turn an degrade faster than the bud

Oh yeah, I know that! I should’ve trimmed the underside that wasn’t getting light so nutrients wouldn’t be wasted, but it was too late.

Looks pretty...definitely not ready.. 3 weeks or so. The amber you see looks to be on the leaf not on the bud.

Auto flower?

The amber was when I looked at the trichomes, not the hairs lol
It’s more prevalent in the last photo. But it wasn’t in all areas.

Ahhhh, I see! Gorgeous.
So can you explain the CBD/THC thing to me. I read that CBD begins to degrade the longer you go, but yet the THC gets higher. Where’s the middle ground for that? I don’t want to lose the CBD, that’s why I picked her strain.

No, I put her into flowering

I guess it’s safe to say I can’t believe what I read on the internet 
If I would’ve followed the 8wk or 60/70 day grow from other articles, I’d have premature bud.
I guess I also can’t be entirely sure that’s she’s Harlequin either!
I’ve also got a Cannatonic flowering, two weeks behind Harle.
Now, who wants to educate me on the harvesting/drying??

take her when most of the trich's are cloudy with a small amount of clear and Amber.. that would probably be the harvest window to aim for with that strain... others maybe more help.. I've only grown a couple cbd strains in the past so I don't have that much knowledge about them..

Well that’s where I thought I was at, looking st the trichomes earlier (pictures are above), but at second glance it’s only 50/50 cloudy and amber in some places, not all bud locations
