Harvest Question?

[Husty]

Would you experienced outdoor growers harvest with this weather forecast. I’m in the harvest window but would really like to get another week or two if possible.

I'd keep goin. Not that cold just cover em up so that crap don't freeze to them.

What do your buds look like... I would wait personally if they were not close to being done

They are about 10-20% amber I was hoping to make it to 40-60% I really like the sedative effect at night time. I’m not so much worried about the temperatures as I am about the moisture, forecast has a 1-2 inch accumulation of snow tomorrow and it has been raining/snowing all day today. I would hate to lose what I have now to mold.

All plants are around week 8 of flower. First two pictures are GelatO.G. 3rd is Jack Herrer which I am almost positive it needs longer. 4th picture is Gorilla Zkittles. I can try to get trachome shots later I seem to have misplaced my loupe.

Good job

 

[Husty]

Thank you. It’s my second year and the improvements over last year have been tremendous. This is my new favorite hobby!

it is pretty addictive lol. The only thing I can point out is that tho they seem pretty much done... there is a lot of leaf to bud ratio. Typically that can be a tell tale sign that there was too much nitrogen given to the plant. There is also new studies suggesting that too much nitrogen stored in the buds can actually be bad for you when smoked.
have you done a soil test? The strains you are growing should have some fat buds on them.

Hmm. Thought this was Blue Gelato, might be Gelat.OG then based on your plants. I have both but there was a mix up during transplant as seedlings lol.

Well nature forced my hand. I looked outside at about 9pm last night and there was snow accumulating on the ground so I cut down two plants that were in the ground and brought the other two that are in smart pots in the garage. Hopefully they can go back out when this weather passes.

I share that mold fear.
