Week 5 help

How does it look week 5 day3 random bagseed 12/12 from seed

 

[Old Salt]

Is that five weeks from the flip, or from when they poked their cotyledons above ground?

Without knowing the strain, all I can say is they look healthy. It looks like that are cannibalizing their leaves, which is normal as you approach the harvest window. Do you have a 60X or greater magnifier so you can check the tricomes?

Bagseed is an adventure. You never really know what you'll get.

Looks great. Good job.

Most strains on average are like 8-10 weeks. Depends on the strain though. You'll want to harvest with milky trichomes then. You can get a cheap loupe on eBay for under $5.

They're ready when they're ready. You may want to consider a staggered harvest. Take a bud or two and put them in a paper bag, letting the rest mature a little longer. Some folks put the paper bag in the fridge for slower drying. It doesn't sound like that's what you want, so leave the paper bag somewhere with some airflow. In the dark would be preferable, but the bag itself should block enough light for drying.

Like start with the lower buds or the top cola ?

 

[Benjisavage35]

I have uncle Fester's skunk #1 in the mail now can't wait

 

[Old Salt]

Take a little from the lower end of a top cola. The lower buds usually take longer.

Like in how long like A week or two?

 

[Old Salt]

At least two weeks, and check the trichomes under magnification. It's no use harvesting with less than 50% cloudy trichomes.

Okay how would I dry the buds hang dry or rack?

 

[Old Salt]

Either way. If your drying space is not humid enough, then put them in a paper bag to slow the drying down.

My humidity is in the 30s rn

Paper bag then. Humidity between 50% and 65% is recommended for drying. If the air is too dry the outside of the bud dries rapidly, while the inside doesn't dry much at all. The paper bag keeps some of the moisture in, so the bud dries more slowly and evenly.
