Time to Harvest?!?

[MrPNW]

Maybe I’m anxious but they seem more amber today.

I would wait until at least the stated time of harvest. Sure clip some top buds leave the rest to ripen.

If you want the body high you’ll want to wait for 25-50% of the trichomes to change to a amber color atm they’re all milky from what I can see which means she is ripe but not over-ripe yet which is what you want for body high

I’m guessing Friday at 64 days will be closer maybe even Sunday.

Saturday Day 65 of the 60-67 day flower (breeder info)
06 March 2021

Today I’ve taken photos of the highest/longest 2 or 3 branches from each of the 3 plants and only the top bud from each.
i started with the microscope, then the iPhone 12 Pro using the Camera+ 2 app in auto mode, and finally the iPhone with the xenvo 15x macro lens and Camera + 2 app in macro mode. I wasn’t worried about the overall photo, I’m just trying to get as many trichs in the photo to show where they are at with amber.

What do you folks think? There is much more amber going down the branch, especially out onto the tiny leaves.. Last Monday, which was day 60, there was very little amber at the top most buds, but today I see quite a lot more on them.

In this group I used the flash a couple times but thought it made the plant look like sugar was poured on it. I prefer the natural setting with flash turned off. Same with the microscope shots above, turning down the built in LED lights gave a more natural looking shot.
all shots were taken with my SF4000 pulled up to 5 feet and dimmer all the way down.

What do you think? Ready to harvest? I’m so ready to go today. :laugh:

dood, Don't hate me, but your magnificent nugs (still) aren't there quite to full potency yet. If you just gotta harvest, leave a branch or two so you see what could have been...

Jus sayin,

Appreciate it. As far as THC goes they are plenty strong. I picked a popcorn bud a week or so before the 60th day and it was very strong in my firefly 2+. I left the same tiny bud in my vape 3 different times until it was burnt and all 3 times it seem to get stronger. My guess is it was drying/curing in the vape. I got a couple more that have been drying for a week now. I think they are ready to try, so I’ll give it a go now.

I’m more interested in the CBD, and hopefully with a relaxed body, anti-anxiety high. I read CBD is most potent when trichs are milky. So I guess I’m wanting both those more than THC. I’m just afraid if they get to amber then the CBD potency might drop.
The commercial grower I got this strain from said they pick it at 60 days and it sells as a high CBD product.

From the breeder;
https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Pennywise/SubCools_The_Dank/
High Type: Clear head with a slow onset body and an immediate sense of well being. The analgesic and relaxing properties of the CBD rich Harlequin mother come through nicely and the invigorating pep you get from the JTR high makes this an amazing all day smoke for with real medicinal value.
Taste/Aroma: Phenotypes range from a fresh ground coffee/pepper to a lemon bubblegum. The smoke is smooth and full bodied.

I just now ground a small popcorn bud that was picked over a week ago and tried it in my Firefly2+.

In my best Bill Murray impression

”Clear head with a slow onset body and an immediate sense of well being”
”The analgesic and relaxing properties of the CBD rich Harlequin mother come through nicely”
”The invigorating pep you get from the JTR high makes this an amazing all day smoke”
Me, me, me

“The smoke is smooth and full bodied.”
Me also

I'm a god.

I'm *a* god. I'm not *the* God... I don't think.

See its working.

My goal is highest CBD with relaxed body effect. I’m worried if I get far into amber the CBD will get to low.
