What is considered harvesting "too early"? and what are the descriptions?
I just harvested a plant and am wonderin if I did so too early.. I flowered it for 10 weeks, trichs were on it, hairs were mostly brown (some still are white) thats why this is concerning me.

ANOTHER REASON.. I quickdried a bud that I actually thought would be potent... it was .7 on the scale..little leafy popcorn bud didnt weigh much.. Anyways it didnt really get me that high..idk maybe im just trippin but can someone help me out with this one?:bigjoint:

I didnt bother getting a magnifying glass (dont care bout the high as long as its better than mids lol), and I harvested 1 plant before these 3 simply because it looked ready.. it was a k.o but after 11 weeks you get tired..so the 10th week I flushed then cut them..

You could try to water cure it. That tends to increase the THC to weight ratio, in essence providing you with more concentrated product...

Colas are big as fuk..stopped producing more bud sites while the pistils were gettin old.. Even fdd says as long as it looks ready.. I just harvested the old way but regardless of the high "EARLY PICKED" for me doesnt mean 5 or 6 weeks.. try 11

In a nutshell, you soak your product in water for 7 days, changing the water daily. At the end, you speed dry the product in a food dehydrator or similar.
The water takes out more than just water (like conventional drying/curing). It takes out all the chlorophyl, chemicals, and basically any scent/taste.. It makes your weed look ugly, so if you plan to sell it, it detroys bag apeal. The benefit, it that your buds will have less weight to them, hence, a higher concentration of THC.

When soaking, you must be very careful not to stir the product in any way, as you may losten some Trichs. I use a cooler with a drain plug. I drain the water daily, and replace with distilled water. I also use one of the dryer mesh bags to keep my product in....

And to add, your product will have little taste, and no odor of marijuana, perfect for stealth smoking in concerts, sporting event, or whenever you need to keep it quiet...
