Timing on harvest?

[RagWeedDWC]

Why do you do, nutrient wise to get ready (Flush, etc) prior to chopping it down. How long prior to harvest do you start? (Asking for a friend).

Failed to mention I use to grow in the dirt, that keep them in the dark thing only worked with the tax man, at least for me.

I grow in soil so wait until all trichomes are cloudy , or the first signs of Amber- then plain water till harvest.

I grow in SOIL..dirt is something else..LOL
Seriously..I begin tapering off nutes about the time that I see 25% or so darkened pistils. When I see 50% + darkened pistils, I begin to flush (plain water) over a 2 week period. I also use a 48 hr dark period..not hoping to increase trichs etc, but to get a head start on the dry/cure..works for me. The only thing I use a breeder's estimates for are strictly as a guide to the above. ie: if I see darkened pistils at week 4..I would thin someone got pollinated.

Good point, the dirt I started growing in was not the soil I was using when I stopped. Thats what I have been looking for, just an ideal where to start on backing down the ferts. This is the first flower of a line coming behind it, so I can adjust fire on harvest. Just needed a ball park starting point. I Imagine hydro time frames may be a little shorter, but we will see. Thanks Brother.

I agree with weed farm, I like a couple of weeks after first seeing amber.

PRIMO Can you please explain some things to me about harvesting two weeks after first signs of amber? Two weeks later, aren't they all amber and falling apart?

My understanding (like from reading online, Clarke, Rosenthal) is that there's the "ideal" 72-hour harvesting period after which trichomes begin to degrade. I'm very interested to know what the triches look like when you harvest!!

Hi ATU I prefer em ripe. More amber seems to help relieve the aches and pains better for me, and doesn't seem to keep me awake thinking about shit half the night. Also it enables me to cut way back on prescription pain meds. These are just my thoughts on it, not proven fact. I guess Rosenthal has his opinions and I have mine. As far as what they look like well......

That what I'm talking about PRIMO
NICE PICS.

I try Mr. F, I try. On a different note, could you please tell me, how do you attach the @ PRIMO in a comment. Thanks

Looks like you have a space @ PRIMO . PRIMO It has to be solid with no punctuation, properly spelled with capitalization, sometimes There will be a pop up with the name you can click on once you start spelling sometimes not.

Looks like a bit of wait, they were seeded at the same time, just grow 2 was vegged longer (All four seeds sprouted to my surprise). Trichromes all look clear in the one closer to harvest, second is a long ways away. Thanks for all the input
