Official harvest is complete :) It feels unbelievably awkward to cut something up that you've been growing for over half a year.
I've babied these things for over 8 months. It's been like mission impossible. Finally however, they've reached the finish line.
Although I didn't end up with ounces...
They've been hanging for a while..
Gotta admit it's depressing how much weight you lose to water evaporation.
One of my nugs shriveled up so much i can see the main stock through the bud.
I plan to leave my official harvest to hang for as long as it takes - 2 weeks if need be.
Yesterday they...
note- make sure you don't do what i did and cure too early..
Got white mold and my mini harvest went brown :( threw it out.
one nug somehow got left in the envelope, it dried up fine..
It smoked nice without a cure, was also lime green as when i cut it.
So yeah, i would have been better off not...
Came back to check on the plant i put to sleep.. Trichs were good, clipped her and shes hanging up now for a few days..
I don't expect her to yield very much..
Anyway, as for my accidentally-early mini-harvest:
Drying out...DRY...
The smaller branch: Before trimming
And AFTER..
The smaller...
Hey thanks :)
One is going to be done a little early, the leaves started yellowing way earlier than the other plants etc..
I checked the trichs yesterday, They were about 60 % milky, 40% clear.
I plan to check again tomorrow and if it's all milky a little amber i'll throw her in the dark :)...
Weeks 10 + 11:
One girls gone a bit purple.. v
This girl may see an early harvest.. shes dyin' :P v
I'll post week 12 + harvest here in another couple weeks (:

Congrats on a beautiful harvest (:
Looks like you took your time to trim her up nice :P
An oz of pure HOPE, grown upon pure hope..
Make 'er last buddy! :eyesmoke::leaf: From the potency you describe, i know she will ;)
Posting my 10th week later tmo!
Today marks WEEK 9 for mine..
They definitely gained some size since they've been moved to a cooler space :)
Here's the pictures i got through the binoculars..
The human eye can focus a lot quicker and easier than my 'HD' camcorder could..
Crap pics but now you get the idea of how trichs look...
Awesome :P You put a lot of hard work into her and she certainly paid off for ya :)
Her buds have definitely changed color, like a fall tree. Snowy trichs, shes finally ready :D
Killing her is kinda sad, but i'm sure you'll get so stoned you'll forget all about her funeral ;)
Excited for ya!
Skeptical as i may have been, i came across a pair of old binoculars..
Didn't get the make, or the power, but they did come in their own black zipper case..
They are adjustable, i turned them to the closest focus, then flipped them backwards
Holding a finger up to the eyepiece, squinting through...
I went 3 different places to find a pocket microscope, and each sales representative i talked to seemed very confused at the notion.
Looks like unless i can work out a way to purchase one online from radioshack, ebay or amazon, i may just have to do without.
I heard of the crazy idea somewhere...
The majority look as though they're becoming cloudy, however some are still looking clear.
Check on them everyday until they are all milky, and you can't see through them :)
Give or take another 3 days, and i think she will be ripe enough to chop down :P
The bud looks perfect, but those trichs...
cant wait for harvest pics :) keep a keen eye on those trichomes!
You can always google peak harvest, there's a lot to read up on tho :P
From what I understand, the earlier you crop, the more up-beat the high.
Harvesting early gives you that caffeine jolt, head buzz that will make you clean your...
Today was my guess, where is week 11? :P
_________________________________________________
here's a few of mine in their 7th week :)
some leaves are curling due to lack of water, i should have watered, waited an hour then took the pics..
Whatdyu think about 'em tho:|? followed your advice and...
damn, shes a beaut.. those nugs have swelled up in epic proportions.
well done, may just be the lighting but some of those trichs look like they b gettin a lil milky ;)
harvest is around the corner for ya:)
