How to know when to harvest.

[daydrimin]

Good job, mate! Have a nice smokin' happy hours and take care. Probably you are at least a week away before some mellow smokeable stash of yours. Don't be in a hurry and you will get where you want to go in reward. Check this real handy and reasonable info, brother !

Quoted from Unknown source:

1) Cut, manicure, hang your plants in a cool,dark place until totally crispy and smokable in a joint-- usually 5 to8 days. Optimum conditions are 68-74 degrees F and between 50% and 60%RH.

2) Place gently into wide-mouth glass canning jars. Closethe lid until buds sweat, usually 2 or 3 hours the first time. Openjars and let buds dry to crispy again. I only bother keeping large budsfor personal stash but if you do this with shakier stuff, you have toget some air in there and turn the buds over. Larger colas usually haveenough flow around them so you don't have to mess with them unless theyare really touching each other inside the jar. I don't worry about "ooodamaging the ever so fragile buds" by turning them in the jar. Whocares if you lose 2% of the trichomes to the bottom of the jar, bigdeal... be gentle but if you have to move them around, so what.. justcollect your skuff on the bottom of the jar and enjoy.

3) Repeatthe sweating process-- open the jar until crisp, close until sweated.After about a week of this (depending on location), you get to thatperfect point of curing where there is enough moisture to keep itsmelling strong but as soon as you take it out of the jar to smoke, itcrisps up and can be rolled.

Keep us posted about your smoke experience, it could be a real trill to taste something so Unknown An while I am writing this it comes to my mind that you can always try something from the seed bank as you are already invested time and money. Those 400 HPS are just a miracle !

Good Luck !

So this is my buds harvesting.But they are not drying directly under the sun.This is just for the picturing taken out from the dark room where the buds are drying...








But today, after 3 days of drying in a very ventilated room, I tested one sample of the budz.So there was nothing nothing at all :( plus that there was nothing of that beautiful THC smell.is that normalll :( :( i am scared that all the work is worthless :(

U may have harvested too early. Been there. Also i suggest hanging ur buds up to dry. Tie or clip the buds to a hanger. Then search curing and cure it. The buds have to go thru a process. After its all said and done it is possible to still have something to smoke. Hard to say without seeing and smelling. If it smells like hay or bannanas U harvested too early, at least that's been my experience. My 2 cents.

yes..It is harvested 3 weeks earlyer..because I killed the plant by cutting all the leaves by my stupid mistake.So the plant died and that is why they are early harvested :( but tell me will it get me high again :( ???

Gotta tell you this ... 10 minutes ago I smoked another joint of the buds and it gaved me that body high .. a lil stoned ;-) just the smoke was so harsh and hard because the plant was not flushed.Also I had to smoke a whole joint of 0.5 grams hahaha .. but I am still satisfied even with this hahaha and it keeps still gettin' me high ;-)

Peace .. I still think that it will be better after 10 days.

Sounds like u did ok. Potency should increase with curing (correctly). Enjoy the fruits of ur labor and let us know if u do it again.

Well brother YES I am planing to grow another plant in a few weeks.Just there is one problem.
I want to buy some good seeds.I want to buy some pure indica.I found that Black Domina, Hindu Kush, Northern Lights, Mazar I Shariff are all pure indicas.So can you tell me is it possible to buy those seeds through this web site ???? Because I find this site not fake so I believe that if I buy seeds from you, the quality will be guarantied :) ..
Can that happen ??

Peace ...

Also tell me: My yield is harvesting for almost 4 days.When is the best to start curing?3 days more or ???

HEEEY :) peopleee ... I know that this is not the right place to write this post but if you like you can move it to the right place, but please inform me about that :).
So what I like to say is this.

You saw my previous which was also my first grow.I will say that it was not succesful that much but it is OK cause now
I am going further on.
So I decided that I have to grow another plant.
I gotta one problem but it is not that big.I have some regular seeds not feminized.
So the problem here is that I dont know will I get some females.But I dont care that much cause I have many good seeds.
So I planted two seeds in small glases of water.One of the seeds is the ORANGE BUD seed and the other is the HYMALAIAN GOLD, and if I got luck I'll have some Indica strains.I prefer more Indica cause they maturate faster, the dont grow very tall and they give bigger buds in 7/8 weeks.
I must say to you that today I bought one Homebox for growing which was soooo cheap and so good for only 10 dollars hahahahaah.It is tall 1m65cm by 60x60.I found it enuff for an indica plant.Not such a problem I think
There it is:





(if you need information of the homebox asc me, dont hesitate
)
So all I need for now is soil.I got some very good nutrients in the fridge.For veg stage and for flow also :)
I am very excited at the moment.Because I smoked so much weed this 3 months that I forgot what happened with my first grow .. brainholes :(
So wish me a good luck and we can go ahead :)

What about the seeds... I personaly want the Himalayan gold more then the orange bud cause I have smoked orange..Now I want to grow and smoke my own HG :)

Peace to all of ya..

P.S. I forgat to tell you that my buds of the previous grow were veeeery good.. head high veery intense and energetyc..because of the eeeeearly harvest..GOD FORBIT THAT NOT TO HAPPEN AGAIN !!!
