Did I harvest too soon Pics

[Kenlv]

Hey guys. I grew some white widow from seedsman. It grew fine, it’s been properly dried and cured. The problem is it doesn’t pack much of a punch. Looking at these trichomes, does it look like it was too early. You can zoom in some to see them better. Thank you in advance.

Sorry can't tell anything from those pics.
How much white hair was there when you harvested?
Also, some plants just aren't as potent as the rest.

Better luck next time

There were almost no white hairs. Do you need a better close up photo or do you just go by hair?

 

[zypheruk]

go by trichomes not pistils

A much better pic would be needed.
I look at a couple of things.
When most of the hairs have turned red, look for mostly cloudy/few clear Trichs, also look under a (nice) bud at it's bottom node, there's a calyx there and if it looks like this, it's done.

I can say all of the above listed requirements were met when I harvested. I guess it’s just not very potent. Thank you.

You need to go by all of the signs a plant shows you, not just any one. The plant goes through stages as it progresses. The best buds come from FULLY ripened plants!

I can't tell from those pictures of the dried buds if it looks like it was cut early. The bracts(calyxs) don't really look very swollen, but its really hard to tell at this point. Do you happen to have any pictures from when you harvested?

The white widow I grew for over 4 years needed a solid 9-10 weeks of actual flower time(counted from when the plant shows flowers NOT from 12/12 flip). It was dank and tasty smoke.

It is VERY easy to harvest plants too early, especially if you aren't familiar with how to watch ALL the signs the plant gives.

It is very hard to harvest a plant too late, or to over ripen a plant. In my 14 years of growing and over 10 years on this site, I have NEVER seen someone accidentally over ripen a plant. It just doesn't happen.

There was a kid real recently who let his hybrid plant go 12 weeks waiting for the correct trichome ratios. Point is,, like Tcat says here, is to use everything to tell. Mot just any one thing.

WW is a potent strain but you don't have the original. Could be genetics, but more likely your grow and harvest were,'t optimal for best potency.

Hard to see but from what it looks like those trichomes looks kinda clear still.

 

[Budzbuddha]

How long have you truly cured ? Before deciding to smoke it.

 

[DaFreak]

Regardless if you took it early it would stick pack a punch, just not the one you want. Like Budz says, wait a few more weeks curing.

 

[Kenlv]

About 3 weeks

That’s what I thought. They should be cloudy mixed some being amber right?

Ya from what I’ve seen in videos and read; about 30-50% Amber for that sedative type high or pluck em early while milky for a more productive/energy high... so I read lol
