Day 66F

Going to harvest most of the tops of this plant at day 70F. It's blueberry strain.

Trichome pics vary from top to the the bottom of the plant. I find it very difficult to snap good pics with the cheapy usb microscope. These 6 are the result from a good 30 mins of trying. I see a lot more amber as I'm looking around, just can't seem to get the camera stabilized on anything and in position to take the pics. Is what it is I suppose!

That's starting to almost look like weed! i'd say another week or two to be safe, but I've always had a habit of letting a plant ripen as much as possible. the last few weeks of flower and the first few weeks of the curing process are, in my opinion, the two most important spans of time in a plant's life. if you damage a plant early in veg, you can let it heal. if you're growing autos and don't notice they flipped for a while, you can save the harvest. fuck up the tail end of a harvest and you're SOL.

I probably wouldn’t wait much longer but you have you considered harvesting a stalk at a time? You have volume, so each bottle could be slightly older than previous. And you’d have a basis, clear vs cloudy vs amber.

idk

awesome job. Enjoy the harvest and smoke

It was like 40" x 24" before it started flopping all over itself.

I have and probably still will, but I'm hoping to do it in 2 sections. Harvest all the tops, put undergrowth back in until the last plant in tent is done. Don't want to be dipping my toes into harvesting every night for a week or two

Harvested everything that was ripe today. Putting the remainder back in the tent. At least with most of it chopped I can monitor for nanners in minutes rather than hours!

Hung 1215g. Removed as much of the foliage with no sugar on it. Trimming the rest after drying.

This will go back in for a week or two longer.

Enjoy your harvest.

A suggestion though. The remainder. Let that shit run for a while.

1st week to 10 days it will be repairing itself from the chop.

You will get little no additional maturity during that time.

Thanks buddy. I did have that in mind. Should have been more clear.

The remainder of this thing will probably go back in until Xmas day. I'm figuring 2-3 weeks left on the tops of slowest plant in the tent. Will be doing the same with those -- harvesting the tops and putting the rest back in until the last plant is done. I could push it until new year but I want to get 2 more harvests done before July (summer heat -- no AC), so I'm planning on pulling it all out the 25/26th. Whatever ripening undergrowth I have at that point will get pulled too, if it's really sad looking I'll just dry it out and add it to my trim pile for hash.
