Harvest Tomorrow???

Hey folks,

I got some nice northern lights girls way out in the boonies. I wanted to hold off on harvesting until the weekend of oct. 9/10 or so, but I'm thinking about grabbing a bunch tomorrow, because the weather's looking real rainy for the next week. Does this seem like an extremely early/premature harvest date? I'm in northern Vermont, so the weather starts to go downhill pretty soon... I just don't want to do anything hasty that I'll regret. On the other hand, every day they're out there is another day of potential mold development or rip-offs. Any Northern new england growers able to offer some advice? or experience with northern lights?? Much appreciated!

Hey man, I live in Wisconsin and my northern light have about 10 days. When's the last time you checked it?Here are some pics

In picture 2, those two little black dots, are those pests?

I dont see amber heads on the tricomes, they will come its worth the wait.
Are any fan leaves looking funny like ?
Usually a plant will drop a few of the fans or they will will show some signs of withering when it is done.
You can harvest the tops then and wait to take the rest later after first batch is dry it is a good idea if it is a large yield.
You can start flushing and lower night time temp 5 to 10 deg might make it start its last push.
It takes like a week to finish, when the change starts to hit the fan leaves.

Yeah, I've seen them before but they never do any damage, Not even sure what they are. I have had some budworm damage but all in all not bad.

Word. I was just curious.

hey thanks for the help guys.. and folly, those girls are lookin pretty tasty... it's been a week since I checked em, bout to go out on a mission. so wish me luck boys. Will report back with progress. Maybe some pictures. thanks again.

My opinion?

Shake them out ASAP after each rain, but don't harvest until you get frost, or when the buds are ripe.

Good luck!

You have longer than 10 days. Looks more like 2-3 weeks. 2 for sure more like 3.

To the OP:
I would wait if you can. Im in north ohio here and we have been getting 40's at night and a bit of rain. Im not worried. Im hoping for the same harvest time around oct 10. I know my gals have another 2-4 weeks easy. I would wait if I was you.

wait for that heavy frost bro
