There is new research indicating that previous paradigms about harvesting when trich's turn amber is incorrect. New studies have shown that THC is at its peak when the trichome head is still clear, as they turn amber the thc degrades to cbn, which gives a heavier high. You should read some more my friend. The plants just plain aren't done until the calyx swells, plain and simple. You can combine that with examining the trich's, but I don't sweat them anymore.

I used to harvest only by trichome color, I have many harvests under my belt, I've found the calyx method to be superior for my needs.

Just because you read something in " a lot of threads" doesn't make it true.
Who cares, chop it when your ready Pukka. The proof is in the pudding. Take a sample and try it. The taste won't be great but will give you an indication of the stone you will get. Too many people are growing snobs. That stuff you have Pukka is going to be excellent if you chop it now or 4 weeks later!!!! FACT

Start Flushing m8. I gave mine 2 weeks of ph'd water. I'd say you have bout 2 weeks left, in my humble opinion
Thanks for the tip billy...........you dont have to flush coco for as long as you do soil mate you can get away with a 4dayer!!

Yeh You could start flushing this week to be honest mate. Maybe one more feed with the nutes and then just flush with the suncat. She'll swell like a mother licker!
Im goin to take a real good luck at her thursday and decide then if i think she's only got a week ill start if not im gunna wait a little longer mate, cheers!!

It will just taste a bit shit coz its been fast dried and not cured but will defo get you ripped. As soon as most of the trich's are cloudy then chop m8 if you want that head high, but I can say for certain you still will be knocked for six. LOL. Its strong shit when you do it yourself. Its not be bagged and handled lots of times. Remeber the iced grapefruit I had, I chopped when mostly cloudy and yes it did give you a head rush but the mong'd feeling crept up on you. BIG TIME. lol

you should find the earlier you chop the more trippy it is, ive chopped from as early as 4-5 weeks flower just to try, like somone else here said trychs arent the whole story, i got a microscope but never use it mate, its all down to preference but im sure you are going to be happy.

my 2pence... wait till the fucker swells up then pull it down, thats when she's done :) hahaha i stopped checking all that, run it for more weeks if u want knock out sleepy gear, nearer the recommended breeders info floweing time if u want ur head high type thing.


the choice is urs my friend and good luck :)

I agree with this method. It's how I've done my previous two harvests. I actually just burped my jars that are curing now. It's been two weeks since harvest and about 9-10 days in jars. I use wide mouth 1qrt size mason jars. I went to a cigar shop and bought a little round hygrometer that I stick on the inside of the lid(comes with a magnet). I just move it fro
Jar to jar 1-2 times per day. This gives me a good feel on which jars need to burp more. Seems to work for me! Most of mine are in the 60-65% RH range right now. Just started toking on some of it. Curing is definitley the way to go!!!

I don't know if you read my post but I said pretty much the same thing about amber trichs.

You read that a clear trich indicates peak potency in a couple threads, I read the same ones, doesn't mean it's true. I just chose to go with what most people have such success with.

That stuff you have Pukka is going to be excellent if you chop it now or 4 weeks later!!!! FACT
Haha, funny cause it's true.

Does it have to be glass jars mate can you use plastic tubs the kind with the rubber seal around and clips??

I hope so guys i really do!!!

I think people use glass jars because they are as air tight as you can get, also the glass isn't porous at all so nothing can get in or out. With that being said, those tubs should work fine. I cured some of mine in a zip lock bag lol.

Not that it matters much, but I didn't get that info from RIU. I've seen it here since I first read about it, but I've been harvesting this way for about 1-1/2 years now. The thing that made me start to question it was the fact that not all of my strains turn amber, and my Super Lemon Haze has cloudy trich's from about week four of 12/12. I didn't just read a couple of threads and take that for gospel, I don't operate that way, there's too much bad info floating in the ether. Thanks for assuming though.

And my response when I quoted you was directed at you for telling the guy that by the time the calyx's swell you'll have 50% amber trich's, that's just not true as blanket statement. I have strains that just don't turn amber, and some that do. I think trichomes are a very unreliable way to gauge your harvest, and a lot of the trich's will turn amber as the buds dry too...
