Is this plant ready?

I agree with others that the plant hasn't really reached its full potential, but all the brown/dying sugar leaves in that big cola probably means mold/rot inside.

It might not be, but I'd at least pry open some buds to check. Anytime I've had dead plant matter inside a huge bud like that, it's always ended up being moldy...
I really hope its not, i have been cutting down N very rapidly and had an extreme fungus gnats infestation at some point so i think its what caused thise leaves to brown up+ I ran out of space in the tent and the light is too close so that could be a reason as well

UPDATE: i’ve cut down most of my nutes and additives, and i ‘ve been only adding what’s in the picture, adding more b and less a. All pistils on the buds are brown other than the new foxtails, and trichomes are 1/3 red

Your in My window of chopping. Nice patience.

Keep an eye on sugar leaves that are dying, if they die and get sucked into the growing cola they can rot (very F'N bad).

Keep your drying area as close to 60 deg and 60 RH and you'll be a happy smoker.

Ill give it 4 or 5 more days to be sure and take my time harvesting this weekend finally

If you can’t spare an hour to chop that then you need to make some life changes. It’s not that big and plant, just remove fan leaves at chop time. Hell I could trim that in probably an hour and a half dry.

I am a 20 year old student studying abroad in one of the most expensive cities and working two different jobs, getting 2 undisturbed hours during a weekday is almost impossIble for me unfortunately.

Still got a few weeks looks like.

those buds look like they’ll be super dense. If you really want to harvest maybe just take the couple with the dying sugar leaves and give the rest more time.

Yeah, I just chopped one of the main ones that snapped but after a thorough inspection it seems rot free!:weed:

Stressing about rot sucks, glad they came up clean.

I’ve only had one plant with similar style buds and they weighed twice what you would think looking at them.

Also that’s gotta be so easy to trim with just a couple fingers sticking out each bud. Might be worth revegging and cloning cuz if the high is right imo that’s a high quality plant.

will foxtailing ever stop? I dimmed the lights yesterday and opened the tent today and most top buds are still foxtailing like crazy. I really want to give this plant the time it need but all the dying leaves are worrying me. Thoughts?
+ a picture of the bud i cut 4-5 days in they drying tent

I'd be worried about the areas I circled. The top area has a lot of brown indicating possible bud rot. The lower random dead leaf indicates the same. GL

Thanks guys, its definitely not my day as i am writing this i heard a loud thud i thought someone dropped something on the floor above me, I look at a my window and see this. WTF can it be? Glass stress because of the cold(only -5 celsius outside) or its Tonga landing in Ontario?

I don’t think that’s cold enough to crack glass. Maybe a bird or drone flew into it lol. Or maybe the people above you did drop something heavy or slam into the wall and with the cold it vibrated enough to crack the window.

If you do get rot you can pick out the bad stuff and keep the rest.

looks like some good stuff on that drying one.

You think the rest would be good to harvest today or give it 4-5 more days?

I’m still pretty new myself, only finished a few grows but I would let them go as long as possible.


You might want to leave a bowl size piece of what you harvested before out to dry and smoke real quick. That way you’ll at least have some idea of how the high will be and if you like it you’ll know it won’t be a total waste to harvest more.

I would most likely try to keep them going until they’re ready but also be harvesting any that started to look really sketchy. Id rather have slightly immature bud rather than moldy bud.
