Ready to harvest?? Please take a look...

GreyPoppyseed · Apr 7, 2010

Hey all,

First time around here, I was hoping to get some input as to how everything looks...

I cannot really tell if they are ready to be cut down yet. My main concern/question is that the side buds look good (about half red hairs), but the top bud (aka cola) has mainly white hairs...can anyone comment on this.

Also, I am trying to tell if the trichs are the desired milky white color....

I've posted a few pictures, tried to get as detailed as I could. Thanks for everyones help throughout this!

They look about ready to go, to me. How many days have you flowered already and what strain is this?

Unsure of the strain, it is bagseed from mids...have been flowering just shy of two months now...my temps have just started shooting upwards with the warmer weather and I dont have much way to control it..

Not yet! Keep going! I'd wait 2 more weeks..

If you dont have a trich scope, then I would wait til at least 60%+ of the white hairs have changed color.

Dont pick your fruit til then, unless you want more of a racy high.

Patient is a must when growing dank.

Get maximum thc outta your plant.

Few of your pics have alot of white hairs left.

Id wait it out. ;-)

They dont look even close to ready to me. Another 15-20 days probably....> Those bud sites should be starting to nug up very very soon.

8 days then flush once or twice depends on flavor desired

+1. At least two more weeks.

I would also say you have at least another 2 weeks. ClosetGrowth said it best, there are still "too many" white hairs on your buds. The last thing you want to do after this much work is chop too early. I have done that too many times and its not a good feeling thinking you have some of the most dank bud in town, only to find out that after chopping it is hardly any better than mersh.
If you want to compare, cut a moderate sized branch/bud now and start drying/curing it. Then do the same thing in 1 week to see the difference.

2 more weeks its only now that they will start to really fill there buds.. also about 4 days be4 you harvest pick all the main leaves off this will stress the plant and stend the plant into over drive,it will produce as much bud and thc as it can, you will be amazed how much it will bulk up in the last 4 days

hope this helps

I'd say more like 3 weeks from the picture. Patience is probably the hardest thing growing the green :leaf:
