Day 125, 103 days (14 weeks and 5 days) into 12/12 - LAST HARVEST I decided to harvest the rest of the plant. I was getting nervous about mould, and the plant looked done. The calyxes look very swollen, there are bananas all over the place, and the buds look like they are starting to degrade...

Yikes, looking back at those photos, I spotted some off-colour bud at the back. There appears to be no gradual discolouration of the trichomes. No white-amber-brown, just white and dead. And the brown stuff looks suspiciously like mould. There's also a cluster of male parts at the bottom that...

Sampled my 1st partial harvest. I vaped a full chamber of bud (which is 250mg). I forgot to take pictures of the bud. Sorry. This cut I harvested 77 days into 12/12; dried for 5 days; and has been curing for 19 days. Wow. Curing makes such a difference! The last time I vaped this batch it was...

Some more photos of magnified trichomes: I was expecting a lot more cloudy-white and amber trichomes at this time (day 93 into 12/12). :-?

2nd Batch Harvested (Day 93 into 12/12) Feeling a little impatient, I harvested a few more branches. This is what the rest of the plant looks like now. I snipped off the branches that were bending the furthest away from the light. I managed to take some photos of the trichomes with my...

Flowering day 91 (Week 13) I vaped another sample 10 days into curing. I don't believe the quality is going to change drastically from curing another 2 or 3 weeks. My verdict is that it's a clean high, with very little couch lock or psychedelic effect. The taste is alright, nothing particularly...

Flowering Day 84 (Week 12): I took photos of the plant and close-ups of its buds. Despite being 12 weeks into 12/12, I still do not see any amber trichomes in the buds in the pictures. Even under a magnifier, I could not see any amber trichomes at all, even at the top part of the buds. Weird.

Even though five days of drying was a little too quick, I jarred them at just the right time. After 24 hours the small jar read 58% and the large jar read 62%. I dropped in a Boveda pack into each jar.

In my humble opinion, it depends how much you are feeding it. In late flower, growth slows to a crawl, as the plant is near the end of its life and the only parts still growing are the calyxes (and maybe the roots), so the feeding should be far less than usual (less than a quarter of the regular...

I also vaped a sample before jarring. Very clean and potent high. Taste was ok. Not a lot of couch lock or body high. 6 hours later, I'm coming back to baseline and I feel very sleepy. I also vaped a fresh, wet bud one day after the chop. Tasted awful and the high was racy with paranoia.

First batch (harvested after 77 days since flipping to 12/12) jarred after five days. Still faster than I would like, but my drying environment is not ideal (68F, 53%RH). I put hygrometers in both and will check them every hour in case humidity rises above 65%.

Awesome! Thanks, Southernontariogrower! I'll be sure to report back on the drying, curing, and vaping, as well as comparing the high between the 1st harvest at 77 days and the next harvest at (at least) 90 days.

I check as much as I can, which isn't easy as I don't take the plant out of the tent and it's awkward to inspect with a magnifier.

I mean to say, this is what my plant looked like 24 days after the flip: Am I right when I think you're saying that's the time I should start counting?

Oh, I see what you mean... I think. :dunce: I vegged for 22 days. I flipped early to keep the plant short. I will definitely wait until day 90 from flip (which is only two weeks away, no biggie). Then inspect the trichomes and make a decision whether to chop or keep going.

Ok, so I think my plant looked like that on day 24 into 12/12. Which makes my day 77 harvest actually a day 53 harvest? And 90 day flower would be 114 days into 12/12. Is that right?

Well, I know how early harvests feel like, I've done enough of them. :lol::wall: I don't like the racy feeling. I think week 11 is a mid-harvest, I don't know. The trichomes look mostly cloudy on it. I've never had a late harvest as you've described.

Thanks for your advice, Southernontariogrower! Fortunately I still have half the plant left. I will leave it until the trichomes are 50-70% amber.

Flowering Day 77 (11 Weeks) After reading this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/t/trichomes-harvesting.516184/ I have decided not to wait any longer and start harvesting now. Due to limited space, I harvested the top half of the plant. I will harvest the rest once this 1st batch has dried...

Yeah, it's supposed to be. I don't know why my plant is taking so long. Maybe I'll just harvest when I see a spot of amber trichomes on the buds, just in case. There's quite a few amber trichs already, but they're all on the leaves and I'm supposed to ignore them.
