Ready or not

[rsrick]

Hi guys , just wondering on your thoughts on ready to harvest or not. I'm greenhouse growing and have already taken down one of my girls as she had a slight bud rot issue due to the wet weather last week. Still got three up and the weather is said to improve this week. Just your thoughts on if I should harvest the rest or give them another week of decent weather.. thanks in advance

I’d say still needs some time but I’m no expert, looking good though

Id say a week or 10 days at least until you are in the window. What strain and what effects are you looking for? As it is now the high will be very up and zippy. Waiting until the amber pops up (10%) with give a similar effect but more potent (should be close to max potency at this stage) and the high will last longer too. Id say a week to 10 days for the amber to show on the buds not the leaves.

They are northern lights and chem dawg, both autos, effect I'm looking for is mellow but not glues to the sofa. Zippy and potent sounds ideal

I grew northern light autos last year i loved the smoke off it .. I left mine till it was 60% white , 40% amber .. yours look good but id give it another couple weeks

 

[rsrick]

Were they autos or photos, how long was the flowering stage?

 

[Jamfen]

Yes they were autos cant say exactly how long the flowering period was but it was about 2 months

Nice one that's put my mind at ease, thought they were taking ages but that sounds about right, how was your drying and cure?

 

[Jamfen]

As for the drying/curing i threaded a cardboard box with string hung branches with buds on them had a fan gently blowing at box with wee holes in the side to aerate the buds ... done that for im sure it was about 8 days till crisp sounding when squeezed , then put them in jars to cure for couple weeks with ... bovida 64% humidity pack . Saves you having to burp the jars

Thank you so much, I can't dry inside so I've got a XL cardboard box set up with wire and a usb powered fan for air flow. Gonna have to be in the shed but I'm guessing with the constant air should be fine.. thanks for all your help today mate

Yes mine were in the shed as well , heres was my NLight with 6 weeks still to go (all smoked now lol)

 

[rsrick]

Nice!!! Wish mine were as far as that, were they grown under lights?

 

[rsrick]

Fat not far

Just watch the temperature in the shed, over 80 and bad stuff happens I think, it can start to break down the good stuff in there or something like that, and mold lol, but that’s just what I read, not much personal experience
