deadpoet Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 So I'm just reaching week 7 here but I'm noticing some of the trichomes turning amber. From what I'm reading, this is prime time to harvest. I haven't flushed or anything yet but I'm wondering if it's wise to wait much longer. Can I get some advice on whether or not to harvesting now would be too early or if I should go for gold? Thanks guys Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indycar Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 When to harvest, that's a good question. There's been a theory that's been bantered around for some years now in regards to harvesting. It goes a little bit like this.. If you're wanting to aquire a more uplifting stone, they suggest to pull it a little early while a majority are still clear. And if you're looking for a heavier couchlock stone they say to prolong the harvest until most are amber, and before the THC and/or CBD starts to break down and diminish. As I said, it's still an unproven theory to me, but one I've been happy to try a few times. Admittedly though, I've never noticed the difference. So yeah, that's something may consider or scrap entirely. Personally though, 7 weeks is usually the minimum, but that depends whether it's a quick finisher. A good ball park figure is around the 8-9 weeks with most hybrids. 7 weeks in.. You can't go too wrong either way, mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic of buds are better than pics of leaf.Should've specified. 7 weeks of flowering. I can upload the leaf too but everything I read suggests the trichomes are a better indicator.

The theory you outlined is exactly what I've been seeing. It's good to know that you've never seen a big difference. I won't be so anxious about it now. Might start flushing now and give it a week or 2.

Indycar Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 After seeing 2nd pic, I'd say stick with your plan of flushing for the next couple weeks, dp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrietree Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 No pro here but I’d say that has at least a couple weeks left, to my eyes anyway Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
