What to do before harvest

This is my super skunk auto flowering when it started flowering. Is my baby ready

Below are pictures of buds

Honestly, it is hard to tell by looking at the images. Do you have a magnification device to see the trichomes?

There seem to be no white pistils. She definitely is close.

This may be helpful if you have not seen it:

Best of luck.

You flush your pots yet if not that’d be my next step then wait 3-10 days then do 48 hours dark

Those were taken with a MagnifyGlass app on my phone and I have a jewel MagnifyGlass and it looks like the same I think

I have been flushing for 2 weeks why keep in dark

I would say 3-4 more weeks , just regular water , let her tighten those buds , she will be over 80% amber but, let the plant mature properly , remember this is the fruit- the flower- I would advised to shift your focus into getting your next run ready and get this operation goin my man , drop them beans

Na definitely not , the dark it basically tricks plant into accelerating the process and wrapping up

@Hotstuffmom I cannot get those pictures I see people posting with all the little tools purchased. I used a similar app… no good. Have a jewellers loupe… okay at best at 60x magnification - can’t keep the darn thing steady! Best results… cutting a piece and using my pocket microscope at 100x power. But I have to cut!

What do you see with the loupe? Mostly cloudy? Or a mix of glass-like balls and cloudy ones? Again, you will be best to judge and what desired effects.

Best of luck.

These two are plants I have no idea what type they are I turn them into flowering on 1/24

they need more light, other than that looking good

she’s been flushed and I stop giving water for 48 hrs. Just pulled and hung

What’s my next step in preparation

Sorry for the delay. Away from the computer for a couple of days.

That is amazing. Never seen the roots and the entire plant like that!

From an experienced grower. Happy reading. Very informative:

"Conditions should remain constantly somewhere within the following ranges, temperature should be between 65-75 degrees F, relative humidity should be between 45%-55%.

At temperatures lower than 65 degrees, drying time will be lengthened. At temperatures higher than 75 degrees, the heat will cause the outer portion of the bud to dry quicker than the inner part, and the taste will suffer.

At humidity levels lower than 45%, the [marijuana] will dry too fast and the taste will suffer. At humidity levels higher than 55%, the [marijuana] will take a long time to dry, and it will be prone to mold."

For curing:

"The cure normally lasts a week or two but some strains will do better if left longer. The aim of what you are doing is evenly finishing the slow dry process, so that mold will not grow when the buds are stored long term. Also, by the end of the cure, any remaining inactive THC will be converted to active THC (that increases potency).

Containers that have a rubber seal work best, but any type of container with a tight fitting lid will do. One quart canning jars do a very good job if you are curing a few pounds or less. They have a rubber seal and hold 2 or more ounces of [marijuana]
per one quart jar.

When curing quantities in excess of a few pounds, large (over 40 quarts) plastic storage boxes are recommended. They are not air tight, but will do the job when smaller air tight containers are not practical.

Gently place your [marijuana] in the containers (cut buds to size if they are too big to fit in the container) and put the top on.

Store the containers in a dark area where the temperature is between 50-65 degrees and the humidity is between 40%-60%.

You will have to open the containers for a few minutes to allow moisture to escape by fanning with your hand. If any moisture builds up on the inside of the cap on your container, wipe it off. Do this preferably 2-6 times daily, at regular 4-12 hour intervals.

You should also re-arrange the buds by giving them a quarter-turn once a day. This will ensure that different parts of the buds are exposed to the air in the container.

Keep up this routine for 7-10 days."

Congrats, BTW! :+1: :nerd_face:

Take time for proper drying and curing. You have worked hard up to this point; do not rush now.
