All this talk about amber, well im not waiting....

today was day 61 of flower, ive been flushing since friday past, next monday im chopping, after spending a fair bit of time reading on here, ive decided im not going to hang around waiting for amber trich's to appear, im anticipating they will by the time i chop.

Im quite looking forwards to a good dry and cure, leading to a lovely smoke.

Whos going to tell me im doing it all wrong and in a rush ?

Its a white widow , grown from a seed that came from my previous grow...

do whatever you like; just let us know how it turns out, would be interesting to see if there's more myths in the growing heads of the community.

well, i know shes knocking on the door of week 9 , and will be half way into week 9 by the time i chop, and ive read that trichome development continues for a lil while after chopping anyway, one guy on here grows ww and has done for a long time, he always chops on day 60, i dont suppose for a second it will be a bad smoke, and ive also got some ak47 auto i need to get started, so by the time im into the WW, the ak should be over half way anyway

ill update in due course .

after working it out, by the time i chop, itll be over 9 weeks, so im thinking itll be just about where i want it

67 days in total.

yeah some people like the more head high from an early harvest, most people like to wait til amber so they get "max" weight and more of a body high. do what you do, i like to harvest half early and the rest whenever they are almost all amber. its interesting but its all personal preference i believe

you go girl! chop that shet!

well, id be willing to push her a bit further, but im not too sure how long i can go without feeding any nutes ? 2 weeks max isnt it ?

im pretty certain that by the time i chop ill some amber anyways.

this was 4 days ago....

you must like green bananas, too

cus that ain't ripe.

like i said that was 4 days ago , 9.5 weeks and shes getting chopped.

ive also decided that after 2 waterings with no nutes, im going to feed her once more tomorrow, then continue to flush until next week. ...suck it and see eh

dont answer my question tho.......oh....you didnt, lol

Two weeks left atleast..

That ain't ripe at all... You'll regret it if you chop as planned. Just sayin... Been there, done that, regretted it...

ok guys, i guess i could go longer, im not so worried about max yeild, just max strength, im not one for couch lock either, ill be keeping a close eye on the trics, ill resume feeding , lol

ill be back.........

i've done a few early harvests, it's a different high but it's still a damn good high.

I think you'd better stop feeding it anyway you're gonna be smoking all the nutes! flushing helps but that's not enough to me, flush it and stop nuting 10 tu 15 days before harvest

Early harvested herb gives me a head rush followed by a headache....

I always chop at 9 weeks and three days. The three days is total darkness.

You could go at least 2 weeks in flushing-water only feds. I've done 30 but wouldn't go over 21.

I chop at 5-10% amber on most strains. As long as you have mostly cloudy you'll have some great bud. I've pushed plants to 50% and more amber, nothing special for potency and there is no more yield that late in flower. Maybe more resin but an extra week once past strain's average end flowering time rarely bring more yield if ever.

Although being it's a little more sativa in it's dna it is suggested you go over normal times and have some amber.

"The three days is total darkness."

That is three wasted days.

what is beneficial about three days without light?
