Are These Ready to be Harvested? Help!

Greengo82 · Sep 5, 2007

hi all, was needing some help on finding out if these master kush plants are ready to be harvested. i saved these plants from going in the bucket and its my first proper grow, was just really doing it to experiment and wasnt planning on getting much from them but they've budded up quite nicely for my first attempt (i think!) ive been flushing them out for the past 5 days and was really needing advice on whether these are really needing to be harvested now. ive used cfl's throughout my grow. so please please anyone!!! do these need to be harvested now???? a big thanx in advance!!! lol.

Here are some photos of them when i first got them, the only difference being that i re- potted them from peat pots to the pots you see now. Never thought i would get this far with it being my first serious attempt at it and with the equipment i was using so i guess anything i get out of them is a bonus! any comments would be appreciated!!! cheers!

the third pic is them about a week later.

looks real good!!! dosnt look ready just yet... almost... If you dont have a microscope... you should buy one at radio shack their cheep... but If you dont have one wait until 50-75 % of the hairs turn orange... it depends on when you want to pick it... different highs at diferent times...

How much different is a high from a strain you harvest at cloudy versus when its trichs are half amber? And how long does it take for most strains to go from cloudy trichs to about half amber- what's the window of time you have til that change takes place... days, weeks?

ruby · Sep 6, 2007

I understand the word "flushing," is this done when they are " bludging?", so I'll keep an eye on the white feather like flowers to turn amber then flush the pick then dry. Right??????

tckfui · Sep 6, 2007

honestly... I dont notice much of a difference... But some people will only harvest when the trichs are where they want it because they say the highs are incredibly different...
When the trichs are clowdy its more of a clear headed high... while if their brownish they are more of a dopey tired high... But I've never felt a signifigent difference...

cfl's huh,not bad,not bad at all...looks good ruby,best bet and take the advice on the micoscope from radioshack,10 bucks i think......good luck!!sorry i meant green

tckfui · Sep 6, 2007

you shold fush at least 7 days before harvest... and should flush several times...

The weed i smoke usually has orange trichomes its picked at its latest which tends to give me this couch lock high, but when i get weed that has more cloudy trichomes it gives me this speeded energetic buzz. thats what i like

65% is perfect. thats what ill do. or try to do.

Greengo82 · Sep 7, 2007

thanx guys for the info and the help there going to get harvested"! to nite not botherd if the smoke is not greatest but learnt a hell of a lot, also enjoyed the experiaince.Cant wait till i get my bigger house as soon as possible to get my proper set-up. Then thats when i will be using HPS :hump:

cant wait till tha day. wots the best way to harvest it, cut leaves first or just leave them and them cut them when dryed plant dryed
