Can someone tell me what the light green areas on my bud are? It looks like it’s putting out new stigmas, too. Does the bud want to keep growing, or is it likely just stigmas, or is it nothing. This bud (plus another 1-2 like it) kept me from harvesting last night for fear of cutting my yield short. But my trichs are ready.

Looks like the start of some foxtailing. If your trichomes are ready then I'd cut her down. Great looking bud btw -
They are fattening up.You're killing me Smalls!Comment

Thank you both for your responses. I definitely don’t want fox tails. I definitely do want fattening up. Other opinions?Gorilla 3x3

if the trichomes are ready the bud is ready in my book, but furley is right, those late rounds of pistils mean new calyxes are forming too, some strains never stop throwing new pistils so just focus on the trichomesComment

Agree with 9fingerleafs. If the trichomes on the buds are ready, harvest.Comment

Man, I guess it’s better to have your high dialed in than it is to have more quantity. What a choice to have to make! You guys have all the experience, however, so I guess I’m chopping it!Gorilla 3x3

The first plants is the hardest.
The personal decision gets easier after the first one is in the pipe, if your Tricromes look how you want it ......chop chop and let germinate some seeds.You're killing me Smalls!Comment

Mr.furley was absolutely right (no surprise there): the first plant and first cut was the hardest! Took me forever to decide on a cola and to cut it. I ended up doing a partial harvest of all the buds that had amber. Ended taking down between 15-20% of my total, if I had to guess. Trimmed off everything that didn’t have trichomes, and hung them up at the top of my tent. Popped a couple of small buds off to dry for a few days as a sampler.
Thoughts, feedback, questions, etc.?Gorilla 3x3

Did a bit more harvesting last night. Maybe 40% or so complete?Gorilla 3x3

Personally I've found if you do a wet trim of all of your buds right after harvest, it makes life a lot easier. Dry trimming takes way more time. That's if you plan to trim any further... Nice looking haul so far!Comment

Thanks for the advise! My plan this time is to trim off anything without trichomes when I first harvest. That way, when I go back to do the dry trim, ALL of the trim will be candidate for the rosin press. That said, because it’s my first grow, I think I’ll experiment with wet vs dry trims some too, just to see what I like more.

Harvest complete! Took awhile, but I got finished chopping my plants. No idea the total yet, but it took 14 coat hangers, each with 6 branches/stems attached. Some buds were larfy as hell, whereas others where big and dense. My biggest regret is that not all of the larfy/lower buds were ready for the harvest yet. Some still had clear trichs and white stigmas. But I don’t have any room to dry separate of the tent, and I need to move on with my next grow. Here’s a few pics. I’ll update with more pics and yield!Attached FilesLast edited by s62; 07-29-2019, 08:02 AM.Gorilla 3x3

Very nice looking buds my friend. I just hope you didn't harvest too soon. PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE. I know it's hard.Comment

Looking good and just learn from what you are doing. Due to logistics most people harvest the whole plant all at one time. If your top buds are where you wanted them you will be happy once its cured.You may win the race, but you pass all the best things in life on the way.Comment

Just writing because I’d like a little feedback about my drying setup (as pictured in this post). I’ve got everything arranged as shown in the picture. Nothing is touching. 6 branches per clothes hanger. Humidity ~55%, temp ~70 F. Forced air intake (from dehumidifier), active exhaust, and mini-fan to circulate air. No air directly blown on buds.
Im just a bit worried about spacing. Things are a little tight, but I’m hoping my conditions make up for that, as they’re near perfect. Feedback?Gorilla 3x3
