Thanks dude! I'm gonna cut off the mold and separate the buds that have mold. Trust me, I will be praying. I don't want all my hard work to go to nothing!

nice porn ! Extremely impressed! Especially from bagseed. Any idea the possible strain...looks like a lemon skunk! Keep it up!please do not post in this thread until you see the happy plumber. thanks.
i've been trimming for 12 hours non stop so please bear with me.
we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.

thanks for the post. I was just wondering does it still matter if you put the herb in the jar before the stem snaps. I thought it ruins the taste and over all smoke because of the chlorophyll thats left. Just wondering if you can reply would appretiate it. Cool pics, thanks

have you ever had problems with bugs just hanging in the rafters?

Even after its dry enough for long term storage you want to check on it every week or few weeks. Some of that core moisture will come out over time. Nothing sucks more than a jar or bag full of moldy weed.

Time to Harvest Hint: When the resin glands or trichomes (on your buds) are about one-half turning a milky white or amber in color (versus clear or translucent), and the small hairs have begun to turn orange, brown or reddish in color, it is then time to harvest your weed. You have a window of 5-7 days for peak harvest and potency. I will tell you, the more amber the trichomes have turned, the 'stonier' the pot will likely be.
This is why I recommend harvesting when about 1/2 of the resin glands have turned amber in color - be patient, and be sure of what you see. You will harvest excellent weed at this point without passing the premium harvest window and the weed will generally NOT make you completely lethargic when smoked.
