I am contemplating harvesting my 1st crop. I feel like based on time and season (this is an outdoor) i shouldnt quite be there, however based on pistils, and what research ive done, i believe i may actually be ready to harvest earliar than expected. Just looking for a few opinions.

What do u mean its crazy budding like that? Something looks wrong? Im in the NorthEast. Ive used a digital magnifyer and id say 60%-70% of pistils are now brown or orange, and the trichomes are becoming cloudy.

Nice buds but still some time to go imo and they'd be worth letting them go as long as YOU can stand it. First grows always provide anxious-ness to harvest but we must use patience to balance that. As impressive as a first grow can be, it's the patience that makes it impressive to smoke.

Genetics play a huge part in what you can and can't grow outside in your climate.

I used a seed i found in a batch. Did not expect it to even grow, let alone be a female. Ha

most strains are 60-70 days some take even longer so hold off for another 7-10 days. also remember, growing is only part of the process, next you will want to dry and then cure for a week minimum, so then you bring out the flavor.

Yup, got the dry/cure already setup and ready to go! Just trying to make sure i do it at the right time now. Want to stay away from that heavy narcotic type buzz, looking for the energetic, which ive read should be a bit sooner.

The first thing I do when I come to these threads is check if I can be the first one to tell them they are weeks off. Just being honest.

I’ve never seen someone accidentally over ripen a plant. Harvesting early gets you less high, less flavor and less yield, not some drastically altered speedy high.
