Post back in a week and it should be close. They should add more weight. If you chop now all that time was wasted.Northern lights and strawberry cough is what's growing. Don't ha e any of the whole plant got a new phone so not many pics on here I'll try and get some. There about 6ft.
Yeah ive heard of that one. Another one is whenever you start to see the white pistils start to turn brown then you usually have 3 weeks to chop. I dont know how accurate that one is though. Never did bother to notice.A jewelers loupe is really handy for this, I'm sure you know the trichome maturity ratio and that stuff
A golden tip I always use myself is to wait until you're as good as sure they're ready, then wait a week and harvest
It's harder to harvest too late than it to to harvest too early + you won't lose as much when you're mistaken with the harvest window
Every plant flowers differently, those 3 weeks could easily become 6 in a different environment. Best thing you can do is to buy a loupe, check trichomes and harvest regarding to the effect you want (heady high or cough lock). Even with the loupe it wont hurt to wait a week when you think they are ready, harvesting too early is one of the top mistakes made by growers!Yeah ive heard of that one. Another one is whenever you start to see the white pistils start to turn brown then you usually have 3 weeks to chop. I dont know how accurate that one is though. Never did bother to notice.
Post photos this tuesday coming up.Thanks for all the help I'm going to try and wait a week
