Hey FDD and Natmoon its Budsworth here.. Been away for a while but while I was away I saw Oasterdamn on the tube MBCSNC PC
Had a small run in with the Fl. Palm beach county Sheriffs Dept. Seems like they would rather arrest a man growing 9 plants than caught real criminals like rapist and drive bys. If I sound bitter I am.. I wasnt the only clown up in that prison for reef. alot of people where. But the Fl. law is the law and I was guilty. Now I gatta grow just to pay my laywer bills..Aint that a bitch..I'l be alright at least I still got job.

I think I harvested in between trichome boom and busts. They were about 40% amber a few days before harvest, depending on what part of the plant you looked at. Then the day before and the day of harvest they were mostly dead stalks and debris, and new clear ones. I shoulda waited a few days probably, or picked a few days earlier.... It was hard to use the little microscope I got.

But I really couldnt of waited, I had the time to do it then, and one of my plants went hermie! Im trying to pick a pheno, she was #2 outa 3. Crazy how she was covered the last day in male blooms. Didnt wanna go out a virgin!

SHould I worry about harvesting in between trichome explosions? Any experience with it? Ive heard they come and go. Kinda worried they were mostly gone when I picked.

Question.. what time is better to harvest and start cutting and trimming? In the morning before, or a little after, lights come on or near the end of the day before or after lights go off?

I don't rely on checking trichomes in determining harvest time. When they're done, they just look done. (Reread page one of this thread; I don't believe FDD does, either. Some growers do, some don't.) I have fun looking at them through a 40x lens, though. :mrgreen:

As far as time of day... I've harvested at all hours of the day and night. When my body allows me to trim, I trim. :lol: I personally don't think any particular time of day has anything to do with harvest results. I certainly can't think of any scientific reason it would.
