Ready to harvest?

[hukaraptor]

I tried to rely on a magnifier but this is my first go around so I have no clue what I’m doing. I’m in week 7 post flip to 12/12. Thoughts?

When is the Best Time to Harvest Marijuana Buds? | Grow Weed Easy

[Bluey]

For a 1st grow you are doing great. Still a while to go. Keep your temps and humidity down as best you can.

[crucialbunny]

Based your photos I would think at least a couple more weeks. Given a little more time those should bulk up considerably. However, you might want to see if you can bring your temperature down a couple ticks because it looks like you're getting some foxtailing going on. Good looking girls.

For the temp: the tent is consistently 73-75. However, I don’t think it drops much at lights out, which may be an issue. I’m limited in my options due to access to electricity. Working on adding outlets back there. Has anyone played with a low tech temp control like adding ice packs to tents? I have access to an endless supply and a chest freezer.

The ambient should start dipping now that it’s September. We had a few 95+ days the first week, which is typically unheard of here. Now getting cooler rapidly, then I will be fighting to keep it above 65.

Check the lower buds. Once those are swelled and plump harvest. The top buds will bulk too but you want to check all the buds so the crop is consistent

Look very nice. well done. if looking for opinions, I think one week max will do it. I havent managed to use basic maghnifiers or loupes to see the trichomes effectively, but the inexpensive digital microscopes do an awesome job for future reference. The old (even older than me) guys locally used to harvest in the past when the buds got full and had only a few yellow pistils left. and - from the GWE decriptions, my interpretation (without close trichome look) is they are in the harvest envelope.

just read this weeks email from GWE. from the few photos and desciption, yours looks a lot like the "ready to harvest to me..

[Bluey]

I was thinking too many white pistols but you could harvest it if you need to or keep it going if the environment is on the money.

Thanks as always! The amount of quality info this community has is incredible. There is simply no replacement for experience.

For flushing, do I wait until the buds are complete or start now-ish? I’m in 100% coco loco using dyna-gro bloom.

Some people flush with water for up to two weeks before harvest. Some people don't flush at all.
Your plants are sativa dominant by the looks of it....I'd keep feeding them as you are until you get some yellowing of the lower leaves and this yellowing starts to climb the plant

I still think you are best to keep them going for at least 2 more weeks.

Hi hukaraptor. Looks like you have a touch of the leaf-tip browning that has been causing me some anxiety. What's your take on that?

[hukaraptor]

I saw that pop up several weeks ago. I posted here because, like yourself, I got extremely anxious about it, but I had no clue what might be happening. A few folks here said the plant look good otherwise and to just watch it and keep doing what was doing. I did and it paid off. No increase in color change and the buds have fattened up nicely.

I think it may be from lights because it is only the leaves at the top but who knows.

most plants will finish later then what the seed man says they will...however there are a few exceptions now and then...If it is a fast version then you are close, if it is a regular photo then you are most likely out a few weeks minimum.. All this is a guide line to start checking with a lope. Nice Results

Your lower buds still have a lot of white fur showing. Either harvest in stages or wait for the lower buds to be ready.
