Master kush clone. Vegged for two weeks

Turned 12/12 on March 25 and all hairs are orange and died back. I'm confused if I should harvest? I check a couple of the calyxs at the top cola and they are empty.. So no sign of hermit or ppollination. What u think?

It looks good man u need to look at trichomes and see if they are amber in color when u have a overall amber color of 30% harvest

I'd cut her. Looks all cloudy in the upper-right (zoomed in on pic), with some amber in the lower-half. Hard to tell w/ the yellow light and shadows though. You want cloudy, not clear. Milky white. Clear is too early. They will look like glass when clear, crystal clear. Your preference w/ the amber. Get a 30x (min) loupe and check them out. Depends on the strain what the % will be when you hit your "window": clear, cloudy, amber.

Agree - ready or very close ( Hybrids strains Generally takes 2 - 2.5 months for harvest) but when it comes to 100% indica's it's about 8 weeks or shorter .and then Sativa's anywhere from 12-16 weeks for 100% strains. Happy harvest !!!!!! A Female Plant YOU HAVE

Don't flush man. he said it was a master kush. Not a sativa, not sure why'd that matter though
Crazy. It'll be only six weeks into flowering so I'm very confused why it's like this.
ignore the time it's been flowering, the plant is mature, when it's mature.
I always let mine go a lil longer than normal, I like em ripe.. but yours is pretty much done man, looks nice too.

no problem, if flushing works for you, go for it.
if you waited another 14 days, that plant would be well past it's peak pull time.
it's all good man, we all grow differently.
just I wouldn't wait that long, nor would I flush, but we grow differently.
Kinda like which movies do you like, or what type of women...
it's preferences..
I don't flush because I don't believe in that,,, adding chemicals to get rid of chemicals seems counterintuitive to me.

more often than not, when your herb crackles it's because it wasn't cured right
Or has bugs...
But nah.. I'm not a believer in flushing..
Been growing organic since the first Clinton Administration...

Whats ur take on to early? Cuz i hang for 2 days brown bag dry for about a week then i jar em, this a a ak47 i cut a few weeks back still curingView attachment 3417778
I dry my weed in a dark room with 60%RH. I never ever stick to day counts because some strains sometimes even the same strains can be harvested with more mosture then the same bud one grew a year ago. Could be 8 days could be 12 days to dry alone. I hang untill i feel the first sign of crispyness on the outer bud(6-9 days) i then trim my bud and jar it (with the top half way covered ror 12 hrs, open it back and hang them again untill the outside feels dry again about 3-5 days later then jar it up again taking note of internal humidity, if it goes past 65/70% i open the jar till it drops back to room humidity and give it 30 extra mins after the humidity drops back, repeat till your buds dont go past 55/60% in the jar. It will smell good when finished. I see many people drying till the stem snaps. Imo this is too fast atleast for my room humidity. The stem should be snapping out of the cure jar not out of the dry room.

You're bud looks good. A little dark still but not sure if its the strain. Curing is easy as shit as long as you dont dry too fast, the jar will do most of the work for you.
