Very excited for this grow because it's been a while since my last really successful harvest. Light issues, water issues, just general BS'ery. But this one has gone well.

Calendar says I can harvest as soon as next week, thoughts? She's been fed nothing but old aquarium water juiced with a little bit of FloraBloom and tons of light. I'm expected a decent (for me, at least) harvest.

Cheers!20211101_153149.jpg

Looks good, but you got some time left, easily 4 weeks.

Edit. Was thinking about it, Acapulco Gold was the first time I puffed with my father back in the day, at that time I never seen or smoked anything like it. Thanks for the memory!

You're at least 6 weeks out before the thought of harvest should even come to mind. Looooonnnnggg ways to go.

Still learning as a grower... can someone tell me WHY everyone is saying "too early".

I hear ya, I can wait. However, I want to learn as well. What should I be looking for? And thanks, folks!

When all the hairs are brown. You can check the trichs. When trichs have some brown. Depends on preference. You harvest. But should be 5-30% amber. 30% amber is going very deep into flower.

You still have 2 or 3 weeks before hairs are brown. Then you wait for full maturity.

My tried and tested method is wait until all the hairs turn brown and recede in then wait 2 weeks. Then you can chop. No cbn, or degraded thc numbers. Just well developed terps and thc.

That's basically what I do. I don't even look at the trichs.

Best thing is I've done lab testing and using that method vs checking trichomes the other wins. So it's win win really. No straining the eyes and most guesswork is gone.

Plus the trichs are not as accurate of an indicator as many think. So many posts of some grower and their microscope pics showing amber asking if they should chop. When asked for a picture of the whole plant they post a picture of showing a plant covered in white pistils weeks away from harvest. Going only by the trichomes is a leading cause of new growers harvesting early.
