Can anyone give me an idea how close this plant might be to harvest?

[chrisacker85]

Any idea how often i should be sampling?

If you’re in a big hurry to have some smoke, I’d look once a day or every 2 days to see how it’s progressing. If you’re not waiting on pins and needles, I’d wait a week before taking another look.

[chrisacker85]

Not in a hurry at all, but i don’t want to over ripen after all this time… Thanks so much for answering!

Hi! Different plant, same question. Trichomes look cloudy and pistils are almost half amber. Should I harvest this plant? It’s Maui Wowie and i thought this one was early.

Full plant shots?

[chrisacker85]

Sorry. Need to send tomorrow due to time difference. Thanks!

[chrisacker85]

Panicking here as the plants we were earlier discussing seem to now be ready. Can you opine please?

[Graysin]

The trichomes look pretty perfect. Do you have any full bud/plant pics? I.e. non-trich shots but just overall plant health?

[chrisacker85]

here are the plants:

Plants seem to be very healthy

[Graysin]

They look extra healthy! I’d dare say you have plenty of time for them to build up and swell.

@HappyHydroGrower @Newt thoughts on plant done-ness? Trichomes look pretty ready but I bet there’s another wave of pistils yet to come - or am I way off base?

[chrisacker85]

Ok, so I should wait? Another week or so?

[Graysin]

Definitely wait til HHG or Newt can weigh in - I’d guess a week if not more, but let’s get a second set of eyes on it to verify.

[chrisacker85]

Thanks so much for your time!!

IF they were mine…

That said… I am not a big fan of a lot of couch-lock, so I shoot for all cloudy. They will continue to convert some THC to CBN (amber) as they dry and cure.

EDIT: And dayum… They are fine!

[chrisacker85]

Thanks, Newt. My wife doesn’t like the sedative effect either. Appreciate your comments.

[chrisacker85]

Ok, I harvested my plants except for one Maui Wowie that isn’t ready yet. I was happy with my wet yield for the plants. I’m over 600 grams for the MW plants and 500 each for the chem dog plants. I know that when they dry they will lose 80%, but its still decent. Thanks for all the help!!

[Graysin]

Nicely done.

[chrisacker85]

Thanks. I’m pretty happy. Now I’m getting anxious about drying and curing. Do you know of any threads here that you think would be important to learn from?

[Graysin]

The Grove Bag thread.

Anyone using "grove bags" to cure?

Just ran across them. Soooooooo anyone familiar with them???
