Confused On When To Harvest..

co0okie · Jan 17, 2012

Ok so I look at my trichs and I'm seeing 90% cloudy with very little clear trichs(when I looked today there were some that had milky near the base it looked like) so I was thinking another week to chop, but then I keep seeing new white hairs shoot out on all my buds, like brand new white hairs trying to make the buds bigger?! So does that mean she is still growing/ swelling and should I wait longer?

I'm confused.

Day 57.
Strain "unknown"(bag seed)

If I confuse you about the new hairs, its easier to show then try to explain.

ok honestly, most people may tell you to chop in a week or less, if you trust a stranger, wait 17 days

Budz can continue producing new calyx pretty much until they die. So it is very possible too see white hairs at the end of flowering. Anyway, as for when to harvest that completely depends on the high you like. This chart may help...Good Luck!View attachment 2002384

17 days ok. I was expecting maybe 14 days but that seems ok to me. I already started flushing so should I continue to feed another week?

pics? cant really suggest an accurate date if we cant see pics... most go 8-10 weeks... more towards 10

That chart is what's confusing me... how long until I see amber trichs, and when will the buds stop growing?

pictures tell a thousand words; almost; pre-disposition to certain highs.......

Lights are off, would it be a issue if a sneaked in a couple pics plus of trichs or should I wait?

skefaman · Jan 17, 2012

but be prepared to wait.... shit takes time.. one plant may be good in 2 days, some in 2 weeks, hope for errrrrmmmm 1 % clear 59% cloudy 40% amber

Ok no problems lights come on in about 3 1/2 hours.

One more question until I post pictures, do trichs mature from the top of the plant first or bottom or just everywhere? In other words where should I be looking on the buds to check/picture?

When the budz are chopped is pretty much when they will stop growing. As for the chart every strain, phenotype, and genotype is different. And so is every grow. No one can put on a chart exactly how long your plants will take to reach any given stage. The chart just gives a practical demonstration of what too look for.

And every one is right, we cannot really help at all without pics. :peace:

expect trichs to mature gradually, more from the bottom... although you may see ambers on tops.... i like the receipe "1% clear" 39% cloudy 60 % amber

skefaman · Jan 17, 2012

when i quote clear, it may be cloudy..... or perhaps 4% more clear

Yes exciting, but aggravating as well lol.

and I'm going to cheat when curing hehe, have myself a small jar cured for 2 weeks for smoking while the rest finishes

Ok sorry it took so long here's some photos.

now heres what im talking about when i was saying new white hairs keep growing... i used a black lid so you can see them.

They look milky to me, i have a fast maturing plant i call the "slut", takes after its mum. Almost as the same stage your plants are.
