Hi to all.. just joined forum .. I'm located in East Coast USA

I have a girl .. mid 10th week of flower.. I'm not getting a clear response as to whether she is ready to harvest on another forum.. I'm looking for a 10% amber with all white (or mostly) white trichome... being my first harvest I'm not certain of my abilities to correctly identify these elements and the proper time to harvest... let me have your opinions.

Welcome to the Forums @SnappyJack !

When to harvest is a Grower's Choice type thing depending on how you like your effects. I don't even start checking trichomes until the pistils (really stigmas) have all darkened and begun to crinkle in. Looks like you're there now.

Once there I start checking the trichs with a jeweler's loop. I don't see much amber yet in yours. When did you start counting flower, from the flip or from first white hairs? I'm guessing from flip since it doesn't look like a hard core sativa which often go longer than hybrids or pure indicas.

Mostly clear = not ready yet
Mostly cloudy = most potent and an "up" type high
More than 20% or so amber = more of a body stone/couch lock as the THC begins to degrade into CBN, the sleepy time cannabinoid.

If you are unsure of how you like it there's nothing that says you can't harvest little bits over time and better dial in what you like for next time.

 

[Azimuth]

So, if you counted from flip, there's usually a 2-3 week transition period between veg and true flower where the plant is changing its hormones over, which would actually put you around week 7 or 8 of flower and that's consistent with how they look.

The harvest window is open, but is early in that window.

Agreed. I'm thinking around 2 weeks before he starts approaching chop time.

Welcome aboard, nice buds you have going there, I won't add to when to harvest @Azimuth has covered that nicely.

 

[SnappyJack]

Wow... thanks for the response... appreciated!

Bill: thanks ... Azimuth: "When did you start counting flower" .. I've attached image ... 12/12/started on 12/10

Trump & Absorber: thanks

Below is image from yesterday... thanks

 

[Azimuth]

In that picture I see individual pistils, but when did it start getting puffballs?

 

[SnappyJack]

The first puff was in 10-22-23 ... this is the 2nd flowering.

This flowering puff started 12-22-23

Azimuth.. appreciate your help and concern

While there is some amber, the majority of those trichs look clear. I'd keep going!
