Would you harvest?

Tetsuo · Dec 15, 2023

I’ve got 4 girls at day 2 of week 9 in my tent, was wondering if you would harvest some right now or wait until end of week 9. I can harvest then separately since I dry in another tent.
Pictures in order are:
1.Strawberry Truffles by Detroit Seed Co
2.(gsc X sherb) X (runtz X cherry pie) F1
3-4. Zamaldelica X Nepal Jam by Ace Seeds

i would say let it run i dont see any amber trichs

also let them get super white and milky they start off somewhat transparent

I would say 2 more weeks.

It's not as simple as alot of people make it out to be, but its not all that complex either.

The way I see it, pistils should go brown or orange and recede a bit at the top, and that's the sign you're in the last act. I like to see the plant slow its metabolism a bit, drinking/eating less, and the lower growth looking more like the top.

I'll get the scope out to check the condition of the trichs to confirm my suspicions if I feel like I'm getting mixed signals or have schedule conflicts that require immediate harvest, just to see where I'm at so I can have reasonable expectations for the strain.

I think you're in the harvest window, but a few more weeks wouldn't hurt in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for this! What would be the difference if I was to harvest right now vs in 2 weeks? I’m mainly looking for high terpene levels and am probably going to wash a good portion of my harvest to press hash rosin.

Out of my wheelhouse.

Lots of variables at play, I'm unfamiliar with most or them as I just grow for flower.

you’d get more yield in 2 weeks haha with a heavier stoney sleepy effect. as for terpenes i dont think it’ll be any better than it is now but its just a guess.

Something to think about with trichs, only focus on the bud trichs, and if you handle them or touch them while handling, they can prematurely amber.

Wow din’t know that! I’ll inspect the colas I’ve never touched then! Thanks!

At this point it's up to you, gorgeous plants. They look healthy enough to go as long as you like and done enough to pick some of the ripest tops if you need some pot.

Thank you so much! It’s my first grow so I’m amazed by my girls every time I see them.

i would say one week more for maximum thc levels

When growing for flower to smoke I make sure the flower is ripe before harvesting, when growing for trichomes to make n smoke hash I harvest based on trichome ripeness

You're entering the harvest zone. All preference now when to harvest. 5 to 10 days seems about right to me. Great job.

Nice job for first grow!

To avoid making a new thread, I want to post some pictures of my plant too. I'm getting some pressure to get rid of it asap, so I'm wondering if this is considered harvestable
Strain is special queen 1, i got it from RQS.
its been on the 12/12 schedule since November 11th. I Included some photos of from that day.

Would you harvest?
