Hi all, I am so excited to actually be harvesting. What a long haul it's been and I have learned so much and having lots of fun learning about these amazing plants.

I was reading up on the best way to determine when to harvest and basically came to the conclusing that it's all in the high. So I took a small bud and quick dried it using the toaster / tin foil method (works great) and wow, what a fantastic spacy headrush kind of high. I was high for over 4 hours and it was amazing. So I figure I want to get some now and I'll continue to grow the remaining 3 plants that I have so that I can see the difference and have two different kinds of weed, one that is social day time use and the other a sleeping night time type.

Here are some pictures of my first harvest. I have to hang it in the attic, there is proper ventalation and it does stay pretty cool at night and in the morning but it gets pretty warm in the late afternoon, oh well not much I can do about that. Humidity is about 20% so mold shouldn't be a problem.

I trimmed the fan leaves so now I guess I'll just wait until it's dry and go from there. I flushed it with a shitload of water a few days ago and the taste was pretty good considering I quick dried it. I think it will taste amazing after I cure it.

Let me know what you think.

To be honest those don't look ready at all. They are still covered in white hairs, when they should be covered in red/orange hairs

well, I only have a magnifying glass but I can see that they are mostly clear looking, no amber at all. In fact, the pistals are just starting to turn brown on the tips.

Yeah I agree they don't look ready, but the high was incredible and isn't that what it's all about?

kind of, see in the final weeks the buds get much fatter and heavier. if you gave it another 2-3 weeks you could have almost doubled the amount of your harvest. so yeah it is about the effect, but it is also about how many times you can smoke. i hate to break it to you. but hey, it looks crystally and does the trick, so dont feel bad or regret pulling so early. just enjoy the fruits of your labor, and chalk it up to experience. nice one.

Probably, since I'm a noobie and my first grow I figure this is the time for me to experiment and learn. I still have 3 plants left that I will let mature. Thanks everyone for all the input.
