1st grow, when to cut

those colas are looking nice but the overall shot of your girls would still indicate you have a few weeks left. they are looking very nice! the one nug you took off early looks nice - you're super close. at least wait another week but probably two before you chop them completely.

Mafiaal - Definitely looking good, the 3rd pic on the far right looks like a lot of fat white hairs still so keep patient. Still a couple weeks to go at least.

The two closer shots don't look nearly as covered in fat white hairs so if you want to in about a week, harvest a mature cola with no white hairs, dry it for 3 - 5 days, and test what you've learned about drying and curing.

Here’s a couple more taken just now , mind you i used flash when taking the pics.

Patience...grasshopper ..... patience

That's what it looked like to me too but damn...some of the close up's looked about there. Most likely the ideal strategy here will be to harvest in phases.

Yup...not yet.

Ok so last weeks test nug is dry enough to start curing it. This will get me familiar with the process.

Hopefully i should be able to cut this weekend!

Well after looking at all the colas and the plants over all this morning i decided to give it another week.
After all this time and energy along with money spent i feel that cutting would only short the quality I'm hoping to get.
I have my second grow (the clones) growing which is helping me focus on something other then the grow that is finishing up.

I'm also taking this next week to cut back on nuts and do my idea of a flush.

I also have one female I'm trying to get pollen sacks to form, hopefully that goes well too.

Here are the clones and the isolated

You can almost always count about 3 to 4 weeks after the appearance of the first red hairs.

Yea i had red/orange hairs 2 1/2 to 3 weeks ago but i also looked at the trichomes on my mid-section colas and while i had a good amount of milky trichomes it wasn't enough to say cut.

Since I’ve posted pics every Friday i may as well continue..

nice @Mafiaal you're maybe two weeks away! hang in there - this is when she will put some weight on for you

Looking great, but not yet

That’s a wrap folks!

My first grow is now being harvested..
wanted to say thanks to all who advised me to push them out because it paid off big time, they really did gain 20-25% more weight and really bulked up.

Special thanks goes out to Hot Diggity Sog whom was super helpful through out these past 3 weeks. Thanks for letting me blow up your inbox! Lol.

All fan leafs are off, just taking branches off as i go along.
