How long to harvest

[Lw1]

How long till this plant should be ready for harvest as new to growing and don't really know what to look for hopefully these pictures will help

[insomniaczzz]

The one thing I can tell from your pictures is that you still have a lot of long straight white pistils, which means it isn't ready yet. Hard to tell in pics what the trichomes look like.
Clear like glass - not ready. Milky like plastic = harvest window is open. A few turned amber - time to cut her down.

[Lw1]

A few of the hairs are changing to a light brown and the trichomes are almost milky put some still not there how long do you think 2-3 weeks

[insomniaczzz]

Maybe two weeks, but why don't you post pictures again in one week and we can all take another look. Hoping a few more pop in to give their opinions.

[Lw1]

Yes will give it another week and see how it is and yes hopefully some other comments would be appreciated

Dude pull that thing out into natural light...then close up pic on bud...you look really close if not ready..

Never let hairs dictate time to harvest...always tricomes..
A good healthy plant well keep growing white hairs..

[Lw1]

I will be able to upload pictures in Natural light tommorow and so you think that it may be ready for harvest as I would still need to flush so what should I do in this situation?

No, no. It's a matter of preference. The pistils curling in is definitely a sign of maturity. Some ripen in different ways. It all depends on the desired effect.

How long has she been in 12/12?

[Lw1]

Has been under 12/12 for 8-9 weeks and if I wanted not to much of a couch high when should I harvest

[furrysparkle]

Guys, Remember you CAN harvest your plant in parts and cure them for a day or two and see how it worked out. Judge from there.

[furrysparkle]

Remember to only harvest the buds YOU believe to be the most ready. Because you are the grower and the end all judge of how well you did.

thanks

[insomniaczzz]

I will start again. lol

So, how long has she been in 12/12? I think more of those long white pistils will darken and start to curl, BUT the main thing is to check the trichomes. Try to give us pictures in more natural light.

[Royal Nugs]

Me likey!

[Lw1]

Has been under 12/12 for about 8-9 weeks so should I harvest in a week and I will try to upload one tommorow have only got phone camera so can't get best of pictures

[insomniaczzz]

LOL (plus 3 more characters)

[Green75]

What kind oh high are you after

[Green75]

I know you want you want right now answers but we cant give them to you ...we cant truly see your buds...if you can provide a clear up-close picture of some buds than we will be better help.....8-9 weeks?....you are more than likely on the cusp....if some are cloudy like you say but no amber tricomes than wait till you see amber then cut....if you want head high....only concern yourself with the tricomes on the calyx...where the red and white hairs come out....that is 100% sure tell......when amber is on calyx than thc is diminishing and cbd and cbn gets higher for a more body couch lock high....hope this helps

[insomniaczzz]

Since you don't want much of a couchlock, then you really need to keep a close eye on here. Could be very soon. Don't let those trichomes turn amber.

[furrysparkle]

That's actually funny I'm prolly going to leave a couple of buds growing past the harvest window so I can give my lover some sweet sleepy smoke! So I'm waiting for that's buds hairs to turn amber.

[Lw1]

Some of the trichomes are already going amber colour but I would say only 10-15% most are still white

[Green75]

dude cut it down...you obviously want to...
You got cloudy and amber....cut it

[Tersky]

The council has spoken?

[furrysparkle]

It's been a few days without a response here LW1 what is the verdict and if it's down and cured how does it smoke?

[Lw1]

Still not down yet as the hairs are only at 40% and have been told to wait until 60% also hairs where not curling but are now so hopefully only 2 weeks so will start flushing soon

If you didn't want couch lock you should have listened to Green! He's been at this for awhile now! You won't come by better counsel than right here on this forum. There are way too many different opinions and ways to grow, but you won't go wrong right here on GWE!
