It's over !!

[Farmbuck]

Beautiful!

Shit ton of white hairs non or very few have even started curling yet.... just saying

Finished bud shouldnt have hairs sticking out everywhere, especially white ones. All cannabis basically looks the same when ready. Swollen calyxes and receded pistils. The pistils change color curl in towards plant then calyxes swell and those pistils will recede into them. Not trying to be an asshole I would want someone to tell me if i was harvesting early effecting my hard work effort and money. Imo their close but could go another 2 wks.

[GroBuddy]

Is the information on this comment wrong? People who think that's a mature cannabis plant would pull a green tomato off the vine saying its ripe. All things fruit, flowers, vegetables have a veg stage where they grow and bloom stage when flower buds form and a flowering stage where plant produces pollen or fruit. Last stage is maturing and ripening this is with all plant life. All cannabis has the same life cycle regardless of strain. Weed is weed some may take longer to get there however it's the same process. Has anyone ever purchased weed that's had a bag or bud full of hairs ( pistils ) lol all cannabis swells and pistils receed when mature. Idc when they harvest acting like that's the proper way and a mature plant that's ready for harvest is ludacris. I was called pathetic for saying what a mature plant looks like vs what I saw, that caused all this. Not I giving a observation, if a person cant take constructive criticism they shouldnt post on a public form. Especially just to post most of yall dont help anyone on here just post your grow and take offense. This is a weed form not a picture form, if you don't want another opinion or to talk about pics grow in the privacy of your own home.

Dudes losing weight because they aren't allowing calyxes to swell and losing potency by not giving trichomes that extra time to mature. Gain alot more milky than amber during this time. None of my business but if they didn't know what did it hurt to bring that up. Nothing I was met with hostility not the other way around. I just gave a observation then gave a link, then was called names and chewed out. I could do better with my response after I'm treated like shit, I shouldnt be treated like shit for speaking facts on a grow form to have to do better

[Bowhunterwoody]

This is Farmbuck 's thread. So just let it go. Not bashing here. Some people wait for the final push of a bud to reproduce to call it. I've had buds with completely orange and receded pistils with all cloudy trics for 3 weeks before I saw enough amber. By that time the foxtailing had produced more white pistils. To go by pistils alone seems crazy. For me 20%amber trics is where I want it.

[GroBuddy]

Bruh I'm responding stop talking and so will i lol. I dont just go off pistils i go off what the plant looks like as a whole the pistils are just used as a indicator as plants close. Js I'd never say a plants ready without certain indicators. Plants develop at different rates have to harvest at the most optimal time

Howdy Farmbuck, congratulations on another grow well done! Lovely photos of the girls, as usual!

[SoOrbudgal]

What a patient guy you are Farmbuck another beautiful grow and pictures to boot. Enjoy the cure an hash

[Farmbuck]

No offence to you @GroBuddy but what make you decide it is time to harvest your crop ? Is it just by looking at the pistils ? Flowering time recommended by the breeder ? Looking at the trichomes ? Yes I'm fully aware that some girls still have a lot of white hair but the trichomes is telling me otherwise. For me it's the trichomes that dictate when it's near for me to harvest and when I see over 20+% of amber then it is time for me to go ahead. But what works's for me might not work for others. Remember this is my second auto grow so yes I am still learning and I do make mistakes, after all I'm only human !!!

Oh yes there are a lot a variables beside the ones mentioned above.

Strains, auto, photo or regular, indica, sativa and hybrids, indoor outdoor and on and on........ Yep so many factors to when to harvest. But my instinct to is the percentage of amber in the flower.


I invite you to look at my previous photoperiod grows, you will see that I'm a very patient old grower... Not too long ago I grew some Panama Red and it took me almost 6 months.

[GroBuddy]

Yea just look at plant. I used to look at trichomes after so many harvest you start noticing that the plant looks the same. Trichomes really dont matter because when the plant is mature so will they. as mentioned I meant no offense to you, those plants look great. If youd said you knew these plants were a little early that's fine, some people would rather harvest at that time. However how am I supposed to know. All I continually see are non mature plants and I finally thought you may benefit from atleast one person saying something if you thought that plant was fully mature. No harm in that. Personally I dont harvest for effect, I'll grow strain for said effect. ( speedy/couch lock) Being patient has nothing to do with harvesting on time if you think a plant is mature when it's not. I'm off your page bud, this got way out of hand, I apologize.

[Farmbuck]

No no you don't need to @GroBuddy and please you don't need to apologize my grower friend. After all most of us are here to learn and I'm one of them.

[Gingerbeard]

Yawn... Let me guess. You're going to dry them, grind them, dry sift the grinded them, then put the hash in cure storage? All the while, posting porn? Give us something new, Farmbuck ster. Ever consider a buck-zai?

[Going2fast]

Thanks for the idea

[Farmbuck]

Can you give us the link Puglover1 I'm not sure we are talking about the same opium madame and I'm sure it is illegal here same as psilocybin and psilocin.

[Puglover1]

I'll have to search. I lost everything on my hard drive. My fan died, the battery warped, the case warped, laptop died a couple of weeks ago. My Summer of Everything's Broken is rolling along. It was the strain/seeds for making pain meds. I might have it in my extensive list of bookmarks, Google and Windows saved a lot, could be worse. I'll look again. Thanks.

[Spog]

Harvest time might just be different for all of us I go by smell no shit so I grow outdoors and there is a time when my buds stink like a 10' ring around them no matter of the wind I wait about 4 days after that and chop I noticed that smell weakens over time with effects i prefer usually when a friend says to me now I can really smell them just saying

[Farmbuck]

I'm sorry that some of us feel that they are been criticized here on this post, It was not the intention of this post. Constructive arguments, comments and opinions are welcome but "bashing" at someone well it's not acceptable IMHO.

We are all adults here so let's try to be civil and have fun while exchanging our opinions etc.. Like @Bowhunterwoody said, it use to be fun but now.... Not so sure !!

This forum use to be a refuge from all of the shits happening around the world and on other social media platforms. So please lets try to keep it that way.


If some are still trying to be negative then I wont have no choice to remove this post.

[DW2]

Howdy Farmbuck, it is not Your fault if some folks are afflicted with "optiorectalitus' (more commonly known as a 'shitty outlook on life' LOL!!!). Keep up the great growing and photos as well, I, for one, do enjoy seeing your plants and following Your grows! Thanks

[Ckbrew]

Don't ya just hate it when the neighborhood goes to trash, what happened to civility?

[Bowhunterwoody]

Agreed. I apologize Farmbuck. Your grows and especially your photos are just beautiful.

[Gingerbeard]

I decided against suggesting starting another post earlier, FB. But since you said it...

[GroBuddy]

That's a ripe bud ready for harvest

[Puglover1]

1st pic looks like good dispo bud. Do you use a spinner and brush or hand trim only?

[Farmbuck]

I'm glad for you but I'm ok with some of mine. I don't pretend to know everything but hey at 70 yrs old I'm still learning non ?

[DW2]

Excellent!! Farmbuck my friend! Oh, I have two years on you, but it ain't helped me a smidgen! LOL!!

[SoOrbudgal]

Beautiful grow and MJ photography lovely fresh buds

[GroBuddy]

Your plants look good, you do everything right. Idk why y'all take me as I'm trying to talk down on anything. I didn't initially come off as hateful or rude, after I'm called pathetic and poked so much hard for me to hold my tongue when others are being rude and hateful towards me. Yall always turn my kindness into I'm the mean one when yall poke, push, call names, I respond to bullying or meanness I'm the bad guy lol yall crazy for real if youd give someone a ear you may pick up something to further your grow. Theres ALWAYS something to learn, speaking for myself first, I'm constantly looking for easier, newer ways to try. Again man you do an amazing job, even more so made me want to say something. I can tell how much those plants mean to you, mine do me as well. They are a stress reliever and life saver. If I didn't care I wouldnt have said anything to begin with bud. Unsubscribing to this thread

[GroBuddy]

SoOrbudgal I wasnt aggressive until you called me pathetic. In none of my comments after that was I rude besides maybe when bowhunterwoody was being disrespectful shortly after you. you're the problem on this forum. You've followed me around trolling my posts previously and you continue to name call then blame me when I respond sideways.

Also I've concluded you're bat shit crazy. You always push me until I talk crazy then I'm passive aggressive when you are the cause of that effect. You lie to yourself if you think other wise. Just scroll up I added a link until you had to chime in not just once but just had to come back with pathetic. What you said first didn't bother me but calling me pathetic for being concerned about a fellow growers grow is pathetic and did run all over me.

[GroBuddy]

crucialbunny yall never give me a opportunity before yall go in on me. I didn't have a chance to respond with anything positive before being poked. Nor did yall try to do anything I'd need to lend my ear for.

Disagreeing with someone calls for a conversation and discussion not what yall do. If yall gave me a chance instead of always trying to run me off this forum. Nothing but hatefulness why would I lend a ear or be
receptive to that?

Like when you gave me the feed back about his foxtailing all I did was add a link that would explain, we 3 may have been able to have a conversation before it went south, you're right I apologize I keep tying you in with the others, when you didn't do anything.

[GroBuddy]

Farmbuck thanks

[Gingerbeard]

Hhhhhmmmmm.....
