If ya have to harvest then you do. It has trichs so you will get something. What are the trichs like?
 
Def worth salvaging, you may get some smoke off them, and whats not smokable you can always either make a lil hash or some butter for some of everybodies favorite Brownies . lol
Sorry bout your situation some pretty ladies.. No way to put them inside for a short time?
 
yeah man, i see some orange hairs on there at least. It will work out if you cut it. Its better to have some premature bud than nothing at all.
 
Some nice colors are coming out of the first and last pics.

It's a shame. They'd probably look great with another three weeks or so...
 
Thanks all for the quick reply,

coho, trichs range from clear/ cloudy on the sativa, and amber ish on the indica

nick, cdub , clown... im kinda proud about it, as my first grow with a really late start (july 2 from seed) its shitty that i cant let them fully mature.

i dnt really trust anyone that much either lol, but yea i really like how pk went purple.

as far as hairs go i see a fair amount of orange and red but i hear that judging readiness from that is misleading :(
 
on my biggest i had a powdery mold problem that took over, tried water and soda spray to no avail, any advice for future?

also will be starting indoor in 3 weeks after i move down south :) Hawaiian Haze
 
bleu ballz, in know im really sad, iv cut and trimmed some since i started the thread, its actually yielding well enough just not mature buds. but hey, im going to keep trying, got my green card and all, only problem is time..not enough of that left.
i have only 1 more grow in me so i could use all the advice i can get.

going out blazin
 
Spray 10-20% milk solution for mildew. Not for buds. Post a pic of the Hawaiian when vegged.
 
Serenade from the hydro store works well for most mold issues. Spray as a prevention! before you get a problem next time!
 
hey so iv been trimming the mildew of my biggest plants and it seems everyday im taking more branches. as i said before i have to harvest early. i was trying to give myself an extra week but my the mildew is out of control and i dont think its worth it to try and get rid of it for an extra 6 days...

should i just cut my loss and salvage?

and how harmful is powdery mildew? ( obv if it all over a bud site its un useable but, what about for branches above or below the compromised site?) spores?

after you cut them down soak them for a few minutes in an h2o2/water mixture... Look up Jorge Cervantez h2o2 dip on youtube. It's explained better there... works for mold, mildew, and any left over pests...

I got fed up with hydro store remedies and crap products like Actinovate. Home remedies worked best for me this year. Mix of skim milk, baking soda, and canola oil have given me the best protection from PM. Also sulfur dusted at the veg/flower transition
 
Using silica can help prevent PM outbreaks, as can "opening up" your plants structure to increase airflow. Once you have PM, it's an uphill battle. Green Cure (potassium bicarbonate) is helpful, as is serenade. Can alternate those two for extra punch.

Thanks, definitely will do that next time. PM Sucks, i found the source...i had an old bush/tree nearby that was covered in it. (moved my babies and cut that mofo down.)
