ME....I'm still worried that I'm harvesting too soon. I'm growing Ripped Bubba...it's a 55 to 60 plant..and I'm going on day 61...now that I look at your harvest, I would say that their done..but "how done" you know what I mean....rare, medium rare..well done????

It’s more of a sativa plant, but I like a strong relaxing body with a cheerful head, how long to keep the plant when you get a stone out of it? I don't want an energetic satviso, it caused me paranoia ..

Hello friends. My Auto Sweet Cheese Xl has already passed 10 weeks from seed, flowering for 7 weeks.
How much do you think they want to stay? Others have seen this strain done after 60 - 75 days ~
I don’t have access to a magnifying glass at the moment, I can’t look at trichromes...
What do you think from the video itself, what percentage of their tees are already brown?
This is my first cultivation, I will be very grateful for any help.

I dealt with mites 1 crop ago. Brought in after having a pal look after my cuttings whilts I was away. They came back with 8 legged friends for free.
I've had them many years ago and I know to deal with them immediately. Don't mess about.
This time I bought a handful of the slow release predator pouches.I put them all around the base of the cuttings(well established, large cuttings), and dotted them around my main grow tent.
Within 2 weeks there were no sign of mites - I even watched the predators leave the pouches (moving tiny dots). They are the only thing I've found 100% effective indoors.
Each day I lifted each leaf, and where there were mites that are visible to the naked eye, I pressed the leaf with my thumg and finger to crush the mites. This keeps on top of the adults. The predators then deal with the smaller ones.
Once the main crop was down, I sprayed the inside of the tent with Silver Bullet bug spray. Sprayed everything.
I've had a 100% mite free experience since then (1 whole crop done and anothe rnow started).
Use predators, spray everything, and start clean. The predators mean you don't loose cuttings / seedlings, and you are guaranteed they will munch any eggs remaining over time. Obviously time pouch use so you are not spraying the predators.
Damn bro you got some patience nice work!!!

Happy with the outcome with these Liberty haze and white widows. Run 30% humidity from week 5-10 and it’s given me the best trichs I’ve done

Hey Guys all good with everyone ?
It has been a lot of years since I last posted here xP
I do have a doubt and would like to call for your help with this
I'm growing 2 automatic somango glue 's from advanced seeds they were freebie, they are developing awesome, but I think that I may have burned one of them with nutes I dunno, the buds have far less trichomes than her sister and they feel crunchy.
I'm wondering if I should harvest her, she's at week 10 of flowering.

This is her Sister:
And this is an automatic Runtz from Barney's Farm:

Awesome thread, thank you! This is my first grow and I'm just now researching how to harvest and cure. I'm at 4 weeks of flowering a outside grow in Oregon. I love my girls and I'm totally sprung on growing, love it!i think that covers it. i hope.

Outside growing. Don't know how to grow. Found seeds in my weed and planted them. Gave it nutrients and did my best to get it to this point (now I'm only giving them flowering food). But now I don't know when to harvest. And should I flush yes or no... buds definitely don't look ready yet. What's your guess? 2 weeks, 3 weeks? More? Weather is not in their favor, around 9 to 12°Celsius at night and around 18 to 21° Celsius at day. Humidity around 75%)Thanks already and grtz from Belgium

thanks for this!
Hey I know this is an older post but I’ve seen many of your responses and it seems like u know what you’re talking about.
I was hoping you could clear up my confusion with curing buds. I’ve recently chopped 1 of 3 plants. I chopped on Sunday and it’s been hanging in my cellar since. My temp is a steady 58F and RH is between 57 and 63%….depending on which hygrometer you believe….but I have 4 of them and that’s the range. I have a small humidifier running on low and a tower fan oscillating lightly blowing under the plants.
The plant is a small auto but has some nice colas that are fairly thick. The fan leaves are gone and the buds are basically trimmed up to almost a finished level.
Some of the smaller buds from the lower part of the plant seemed like they were getting dry so earlier today I took a few and jarred them with a hygrometer. It’s been about 6-7 hours and the RH reads 66%.
My understanding is I should open the jar once twice a day for a few minutes, allow the buds to dry out a bit and back on with the top.
My confusion is what to do once the RH gets to the desired 60-62%. Let’s say I hit the nail on the head and jar the buds at the perfect 60-62% rh…..what would I do? Burp them once/twice a day quickly (so they won’t dry out ) and in 3-4 weeks they’ll be cured?
of course I am looking for the same dank smell in the jar that they have when you squeeze them.
Any clarity is really appreciated…..

once they get down to 60% i just leave them alone as much as possible, no need to continue burping.
i go by feel as much as anything else. when they start to feel a little crispy on the outside, it's time to jar them, when they feel soft in the jar i dump them out for an hour or two till they start to feel crispy again. i do go by hygrometer too, but the feel is still important. they should have a sort of marshmallow feel when they're about done, not hard, but not mushy anymore...you should start to notice them developing a good funk in about a week, they should start smelling a little better every day till you get to about a month in the jar. they don't really suffer for being in the jars longer, but after a month of curing they should have a good reek to them
Hello how much would you leave her ? I started flushing with canna flush last watering and it should be week 8 aproximately of rqs Triple G (i think)i always say to myself i would better track growing tíme and strains and i always end up mixing it...
Is it good tíme to start a flush ?
Or maybe harvesting already ?
Similiar tíme grown og kush by Blimburn just started showing orange pistils with really nice bud undearneath and i would surely give few weeks (will upload photo next day)

i would let that go about another week, myself. it could be ready now, it's close one way or the other. if you have a jewelers loupe or a usb microscope, you can check the trichs, but visually, that's very close.

i like to wait till most if not all of the pistils have turned brown and kinked up. i do have a 40 dollar digital microscope i got off of amazon that works pretty good, i think it was one of the better purchases i have made for my garden. it takes the guess work out, once they start to look ready. i know when my trichs are at their peak, and harvest as close to then as i can

Nice, my humidity has been in the 30's this run too and I'm having great results trichome-wise as well. This is a G13 Mozzarella freebie I have going, this was a few days ago I'm giving it another week or so, most of the trichomes are milky but still lots of clear down below.

I've read and learned a lot here. I'm a newbie to the grow game. Just tired of paying big $. for something at one time grew wild and free. The part I'm a bit saddened by are the snarky comments of folks that, although knowledgeable, come off as pompous Aholes. I was a wine distributer for years and know more about wine than any one person should. When I'd run into the know it all's that belittled a person wanting to learn, I'd write them off as rude and not worth my time. Doesn't matter if you've been here a wk or 8 yrs be nice. Some here need a mouthwash and some here are absolutely great. You know who you are. I'm a newbie on my first grow. Please be patient with us. We just want to learn.
