Are these ready to harvest

Trichomes still look clear to me but pistils are 85% amber and curled. Are these ready to harvest? They are about 6-7 weeks in to flower. 303 OG and holy grail feminized photoperiod. Started them all at the same time.

I would say most strains will need about 9 weeks of flower give or take but I would wait for somebody more experienced than me to give an opinion. They look like they are yet to bulk out to me though

That’s what I was thinking too, but the pistils turned almost all brown was starting to freak me out.

Yeah mine have been similar I would not worry about that. I'm at day 58 of flowering today and still think I have a week or two

so the issues I've had with and am assuming I will have due to running 3 different strains is this. even if they are started at the same time the photo periods wont be the same due to genetics and that's even with the same strain but different phenos.thats why we pick the best pheno and then clone clone clone, if you dont have one get a jeweler loupe and helicopter parent those girls until you have the ratio of amber/milky tri's then comes the important part that some shortcut and that's harvest...dont short cut.

I have a loupe. Not milky yet, clear but a few amber tops. Sounds like the Trichomes are the greatest determiners if they’re ready, and ignore how the pistils look. Is that right?

yea alot of us tend to get tunnel vision on the final stretch, your correct pistles and leaves will die as the plant focuses more energy on fruiting or in our case budding. I would even see about doing some defoliation soon as that will help boost and channel your lights energy to where you want it, bud production .

Thank you! I’ll trim up these babies today.

absolutely, and if you are guessing " is this enough" it's best with the less is more philosophically and aim for your more necrotic leaves which in most cases will be your larger ones.
 
Hello Guys ! What do you think about mine lil'plant ?

This in particular had a very slow growing, to bulk the buds and so on. It's starting the 13th week on flower. I did some harvest earlier and notice the buds was fattening, and so I let her continue (last pic, the first and second harvest (19/05 and 03/06)). But 2 weeks from now she starts foxtailing, too close to the light, and started to grow new white pistils.

By these thricomes pic, do you guys have any idea if I should harvest? To me, they look at the 'process' of clouding; or are they already?


Thx!

Let’s see what the rest of the plant.
 
Wow, the pic of the plant wasn't uploaded (1st pic) There are 3 branches like this one, all look the same. I switched to flower 25/03, but at 10 weeks she was fattening and no signs of cloudy ou amber trics .. so I leave her fattening (in my head lol)

The second pic was 8 weeks into flowering. Then I harvest a little branch to analyse the trics and for the sake of tasting the bud at that moment

But I think now she still fattening and frosting (it is much more frosty right now then few weeks ago)


For this grow I used soil, worm castings and vermiculite. When I water her (once a 8-10 days, check it with moisturemeter) i put 10% compost tea with 1 tb spoon molasses and ashes as well. Temp 20-27°C (night/day), two PC fans and 130W led

Dude she’s got a long ass time to go like Brett said at least 6 weeks. What lights are you using?

I'm using common house led bulb lights, 9, 15 and 17w. it's like 100w 3500k light and 30w 6000k light. Really tight budget for this grow lol

but'll wait until next week.. 'cause they're foxtailing and being flowering since march 25.. so it's been a long time, and all the white hairs are new due to the foxtailing

anyways, thx guys !



Next will be dwc :)

Do you guys thing it's possible to grow them with worm compost tea for nutrients in DWC?
