Can’t figure out if she’s ready or not

WingAK · Mar 24, 2019

So I have this critical orange punch she’s been flowering for 11 weeks that’s the time a flower showed up not the flip and some of the pistils just wont turn brown so I’m asking if y’all think she is ready

Certainly in that window I would say! Looks like good smoke! I don't see hardly any clear, all milky and a little amber. The calyxes certainly look mature - maybe just one of those that keeps on going and going... I've seen before where they never turn amber, especially at the very top near the lights...

Thanks for the reply yeah those ones on top just don’t know when to give up.

I’d say she’s ready but I’m a newb.

Looks done to me. I'd say chop

I hate when a plant keeps throwing white hairs.. what are you feeding it?

G'day WingAK,

I think if harvested now, it wouldn't be bad smoke at all. Looks tasty!

Better in another week or two? For sure.

Nice grow. :eyesmoke:

Patience...

Give it another week to ten days. It will be worth the wait.

Good job :blsmoke:

Looks ripe for picking bongsmilie

I feel ya, I have a Northern Soul and an Aurora that are at 10 weeks and still forming calyx.
I'm waiting for signs of amber trics before they come down. If that was my plant, it would come down. Looks quite tasty.

is she moist and sticky?

WingAK · Mar 24, 2019

Thanks for all the replies y’all I’m going to be patient and I suppose I’ll wait a bit I got another going anyhow and she needs at least two more weeks as she is just beginning to turn purple

I don't think you'll regret your decision at all. Longer the better really, pretty hard to over ripen imo.

I’m growing in living soil so just water.

look at the buds magnified to see how the development is progressing. It's not unusual to harvest a plant in stages over days.

You can over ripen. I've let a plants go way too long. They dried brown and tasted like old shoes. Got you really high but taste, smell, and bag appeal was long gone.

I absolutely agree, you can over ripen. Just hard to do imo, usually harvest well before it is.

I'd wager harvesting too early is a lot more common.
