Would you harvest this Indica?

It's got a ways to go yet. I would let it go if the frosts aren't too bad. Other outdoor growers have told me they've noticed more resin production. It's believed that the plant insulates itself to fight the cold and finish fruiting.

A bit more time it looks like, appears to be swelling I can see. Looks pretty dank I must say.

Although if you are dealing with multiple frosts, I would wait to the last second and yank that b*tch.
Throw some pics up when you harvest!

i guess the question is which is worse, yanking early or having the frost kill them? never grew mj straight up outside but have grown vegetables of varied hardieness. typically if you're talking about a quick dip into the 30s for a day or less it's not a big deal. if the temps outside are consistantly in the 40s and then you get frost that's a case by case thing but covering them will help. it would be better to let them do their thing imo. they're almost done.

yeah i think ou got about 2-3 weeks to dude. if the frost is gonna come over is there anyway you can bring them in while its frosty or raining? or do you have them in the ground? if so, try and cover them, that will give them a little bit more protection. your best best is to let it do its thing and try and bring them in if the weather gets to bad. i think you should be fine. most people worry to much about their plants, even i do alot. then you realise it wasnt really that much to worry about if you just do things correctly.

good luck bro

Id go atleast 1 more week at the least maybe 3 weeks at the longest. Get your self a 30x pocket microscope off ebay $8 so you can see when your tricomes start changing color. I let mine get at least 1/3 amber 3/4 milky white then I pick, but really its all on your preference of high when you pick them. If you pick them a little early when all the tricomes are clear/ alittle milky white youll get a feel good wana run around high. If you pick them when most of the tricomes are amber you will get a lazy wana pass out type of high and if you pick them like I do when 1/2 the tricomes amber 1/2 clear/milky then you get the best of both highs. Theres about as many different opinions on when to pick as it there is types of strains so its really all on what kind of buzz your trying to get out of your crop. Good luck and be safe

yep, I read the same thing and was also told by another outdoor grower the same thing. It buds up tighter to stay warm.

I cover em with a black bed sheet....Lighter Weight than tarp....tarp would be retarded cuz even with the bed sheet I go out nd ake it off nd there's bent buds from the sheet Im sure the tarp would be even worse!

i'd let em go a bit longer. however if that frost is supposed to be pretty bad, better to pull them than have the frost damage them.
