You are where I was last week. Maybe some branches are ready. I did a spot harvest last week. Waited a week for the majority of the plants. It was well, well worth it! Wait a week. You'll be happy you did.

Why would I ever do this method with the medicine I grew and cared for for 6 months? I grow outdoors. The last thing I am worried about is unclean, filthy buds. I take extreme care of my shit, as do most serious growers of medicine.

No words. That extra week is so worth it!!

Cold and windy down here. No snow or freeze though. I think tomorrow is the day...

Here comes the shitty weather. Lows in low 30s tonight and tomorrow night. Good news is it's a 2 night thing, no freeze warnings, and I have 12 tops that will only plump up and get sticker by Monday. Can't wait!!

Might as well trim, dry and cure. What's to lose?

Alright, I have finished chopping branches for the time being. Basically, I am checking trichs as I go, along with pistils, and believe I have harvested all that is ready to be done at this point. I am going to give the rest time to mature a little more, trich-wise. @ganga gurl420 I am hoping...

Satvia dominate normally show white through harvest, if that helps.

It's more about ratio of trichs, and I like to be around 40% amber. The branches I pulled yesterday were at about 25% amber. So I was probably about a week early, but the high will still be what I like for daytime. The colas and buds still on my trees will only get more amber, and I figure by...

The forecast just keeps getting worse. Snow and two night below freezing are very possible by Saturday. I am trimming branch by branch, picking the ripe flowers first. By Friday, I will have given all colas and some larger secondary branches another week. Below freezing forecast is always going...

Night time gives a much better, more accurate look, in my opinion.

Half and half. I'll hit up a couple of the colas tomorrow. I like to have a little couch lock for the long winter nights when I start to get a little seasonal depression going on and have trouble sleeping.

Harvest started today. I am going branch by branch, ripest getting trimmed first. Possible snow in the forecast Friday. Mother nature has forced my hand. Based on pistil appearance, calyx appearance and multiple scope views, I have entered the early stages of the harvest window. By the time any...

Go by trichs, but also go by majority amber pistils and swollen calyx. It's October 7th, so any crop in the northern hemisphere is entering the harvest window, regardless. I have been gardening my whole life, so my eye knows when crops are ripe and ready for harvest. But I still depend on the...

I would do what I started doing today. I started harvesting by branches. Left the colas and got pretty much all the secondary branches on one of my ladies, leaving lower ones to get a few days of sun. Trichs looked pretty much like your pics. Possible snow is forecast this weekend here(shit!!)...

Remember the plant is still getting energy from the sun even through an overcast sky.

2-3 frosts is a good thing, in my experience. The girls seem to respond very nicely to a couple of them before harvest. The added color really adds to the visual appeal. Haven't had the first one yet here in SE Wisconsin, but even low 40s are bringing some nice colors. When I know a real good...

I figure I am really, really close now on this girl...

If you hang out here and recognize the true helpers on this forum, you will learn more than you can imagine. But in the future...no more total trimming of leaves. Energy = maximum yield, and leaves store that required energy for later use. Learning is as fun as you make it. Once you get your...

Looks good. Those pistils will start to amber up real soon. The only reason mine ambered so quick is heavy rain.
