Hi friends, we're on the verge of one of the first legal recreational harvests on the east coast. It's day 68 and the plan is to chop on day 70. The dispensary out west where I acquired the seeds recommended 8-9 weeks flower but we felt like taking it at least an extra week.
It's our first grow but we've done pretty well. The main issue was that we vegged too long (6 weeks) and didn't manage the height well. The plants reached 6 ft and nearly outgrew their 4x4x7 foot grow box.
Our setup includes the aforementioned closet box, 240 watt true draw G8450 LED, 140 watts of supplemental UFO's, and roughly another 35 watts of LED/CFL sidelight bulbs.
Two weeks out from flush, we have frosty flowers, 50-75% brown pistils on the main heads, with milky trichs depending on the lighting with our cheap 60-100x scope. Not all of the trichs have the nice round heads and very few amber ones, so we were scratching our own heads about it-- no pun intended.
Here's my question...
We've been totally undecided this week about potency or harvest readiness, so we snipped a few wet grams of tiny lower popcorn flowers to try. Trimmed and dried them in toaster oven at 100-150 degrees for varying times. Popped them in the grinder and have been packing one-hitters all week. Honestly, it gets us ripped. It smokes as smooth and tastes as good as most of the weed we've ever smoked. This makes me feel like it's ready to chop, dry and cure them the right way.
Thoughts?
