Simple question. When is it normal to harvest my buds in Connecticut, I'd appreciate replies from anyone actually in the tri-state area, assuming we've got around the same latitude and climate. I've been caring for these two babies since february and they look unreal, I just don't want to f*** up. I need a x30 magnifying glass, i know, to see the trichome status. Still though, any input on WHEN would be much appreciated. thanks everyone

it's getting cold early this year so I would say you have 1.5 to "maybe" 2 weeks left of "growing time". just make sure you keep a eye on the weather for frost warnings as you will want them chopped before the frost rolls in..gl

Yo Chizza,

Yea I'm in Fairfield County. I think I'm near ready to harvest, just wanna make sure though, obviously.

How are yours doing? The temp over the next 10 days should be frost free at least so... We'll see how it goes

what part of ct do you live in, i'm in fairfield county?

Yea dude i'm in stamford. Temperature seems good. I might have to get that x30 lens though, just to check out this trichrome business. I know we still got time though.

4-5 weeks? damn, thats still quite some time, though i was reading up on this and some people (certain strains in particular) don't get harvested till november. Def check the night temps though PHish to avoid having mother nature frost ur crop.
