I went ahead and chopped the girls down last night. I have them hanging upside down in a blacked out room with a fan circulating air (not directly on the buds), a room temp of 73, and humidity stable around 50. (I have the light on for the photo)
Tomorrow I'll trim them down to individual...
I went ahead and cut them all down. There's too much shit going on in my life right now. Hanging them for 48 hours as the whole plant, then I'll trim down and hang the individual kolas. Where they are hanging stays at 50% humidity and 74 degrees with a fan circulating air. Sunlight is blocked out.
Thanks for the feedback.
The breeder times are from 7-10 weeks between the 4 strains... I threw those timeframes out the window as I hit them.
I know commercial growers cut as early as possible and I think I've passed the "early cut" stage... I'm in the middle of packing for a move and need...
Another new grower harvest question: My plants are 100 days old now and I still don't see amber trichomes - all milky white. I feel like they're ready to harvest but I'm gun shy. Any commentary is greatly appreciated...
Day 100 - Finally current photos. The girls have been on a water only diet for about 10 days. They smell great, sticky, dense (except for the Northern Light Blue), and seem ready to go. The trichomes are all milky white - I haven't seen any amber, but at 100 days old, I think I need to cut them...
