Hey everyone, I have my harvest day picked out already, and I am super super excited. First harvest will be in 19 days, I'm picking this day because its one of the only days I can do it, and my plants are about 2-3 weeks away from being ready.

My question is, how the hell can I stop thinking about them, every day i just want to go out and sample them and look at them, they already have trichs forming on the leaves (and even some of the closer fan leaves) but are not nearly ready yet, my impatience has cost me dearly already as I've sampled twice when both are deff not ready yet.

Unless the plants are clearly not ready, I'm harvesting :) Its my first grow so please
What can I do to stop thinking about them?

* I sampled lower popcorn buds and haven't touched any main cola's, which is why the samples were so dull on trich's. The main cola's however are completely covered already!! so exciting!

I looked at my buds today, and saw all the triches forming and I just drool...then picked my second sample.
Question, the smaller leaves around the buds are covered in triches, and there are some triches on the fan leaves around the buds, are these the suger buds?

damn impatient growers and their bud samples 3 weeks from harvest.
if you didnt do it your first time then i envy you because i ripped into my shit early as hell well ten fifteen days or so...but then again on my first grow the buds Looked to me like they were done..id never seen them go through the crazy.change at the end..whatever i was new and that was a while ago..i think it taught me a good lesson

you know you have more than 19 days right?

you have 19 days to harvest, how ever many days it takes to dry (depending on where you're drying), and the 2 weeks minimum you have to cure for if you wan't smooth smoke.

I'm water curing, so 8 days for me. I tried it in the past and I loved it 100%

And im just excited to harvest them, I can quick dry some and toke on those in the mean time :)

also, this was my last sample. I only got 2 plants with over 50 bud sites, or about 12 main branches + 2 colas. Not a crazy amount for two plants, but its my first grow and I haven't been feeding them as I wanted this grow to go 100% natural with nothing extra. The soil is from a old farmers field which isn't used anymore. lots of sun and lots of nutrients in the soil as well. I think they are going great personally. I'm waiting for them to fatten out now as its coming into the final stretch
