Three Strains - trying to figure out when it's time to Harvest.

[Jebber]

I have three strains growing in a 2x4 tent in Coco. Two LEC 315 lights and I'm using Canna A/B base nutes and Med Max Organic advanced nutes. This is my first grow, things have progressed nicely as far as I know.

Here are some pic's of my Trich's

Per my research the supposed flowering times are as follows:

White Dawg is 55-60 days flowering time
Bruce Banner #3 is 56-70 days flowering times
Ghost Train Haze is 65-80 days flowering time

So my first issues is the different flowering times, my second issue is I have no experience to fall back on.

I'm assuming I should trust the trich's as they mature to tell me. IMO, it looks like the White Dawg is almost ready and the other two have a little work left.

Nice pics! I think the earliest you would want to harvest is at 5% amber trics. The latest I've heard of is waiting for 50% amber trics. They all need some more time though, at least a week. Also, base your decision off the trics on the bud, not the trics on the leaves

I harvested my first plant this morning, my White Dawg. My trich's were starting to get a little cloudy so it was time.

I built a drying box out of a wardrobe box I got at Loews. I made a hanging dryer out of Wood hoops (the kind you would use for cross stitching) and plastic screen. I added a variable speed fan and cut some holes for ventilation. Plenty of room left for my next harvest, my Bruce Banner #3. I figure the WD and BB#3 should be done drying before I need the box for the larger strain, Ghost Train Haze.

Figuring the dry vs, wet weight and a wild assed guess I predict I'll end up with close to a pound when all is done.

looks good man. Might've chopped a little early if they were just starting to get cloudy. You want them cloudy with a little amber. The percentage of amber depends on what your goal in the smoke is. Mostly cloudy = energetic, uplifting high. Mostly Amber = couch lock. Mostly Clear = gotta smoke too much to get a high.

I may have, first time jitters. I got some advice from some serious growers and the consensus was it was time on this strain. It's a balancing act between potency, goals and taste. They should continue to cloud up for the next few days (I'm told) and it's better to be a tad early than late.

I'd start flushing if you haven't.

Where you get the bruce banner #3 I've been looking all over hell for that.
Not to cloudy so I'd flush and be prepared to pull

I got it from a friend who got it from a grower for me. I have two little 8" beauties I cloned from it, getting ready for the next grow.

Here's a pick from a week ago
