Harvest today or in 4 days?

WeedLover487 · May 31, 2021

Hi,

Northern lights auto, end of 15 week, 105 days since seed.

2 Plants, must take them both all, can't separate (drying is in the tent).

Can I wait until Friday or am I getting late and chop them tomorrow?

Thanks

Full view and first plant

Second plant is a bit more ready, more amber

* if more pictures needed, I will upload more, don't want to make it hard to watch.

Thanks!

Both of those plants have WEEKS left on them. If you chop them now you are only shorting yourself.

22 grams more if you wait 2 weeks :eyesmoke:

Really?
More than 15 weeks for autos?

But there is a lot of amber in them, no?

Always going to be more amber in the top part of the plant, and there is still white pistils which mean the lower growth is still maturing. I say another 3-4 weeks if you pulling all at once. Good luck and looks tasty.

Based on the number of white pistils I'm guessing there are zero amber trichomes. I wouldn't even bother checking trichomes until all the pistils are orange/brown.

Don't get hung up on looking for amber trichomes, it's obviously already got you wanting to chop early.

The quickest auto I've had finish was in 90 days. The rest went 110 days and longer. I'm so confused why people think autos finish fast or something, most likely to bad info on the web.

Yep, I guess bad info.. also the seed seller (Nirvana) info is 10-12 weeks on the site...

But there is amber in the photos, so ignore it?
On some of the buds there is a lot actually...

Thanks!

Most of the pistols in this photo are white...

SnidleyBluntash · May 31, 2021

Get a good pic of the buds 2nd row down, the top most trics could be amber due to the intence lighting. But, to answer your question, do the 4 day option, later is better. But more later would even be better

Yeah guess you didn't get the memo. Breeders lie on finish times.

Yes ignore it. Could be amber from physical damage. Everything around them are clear.

I have a feeling despite all the good advice you've been given you're going to chop them anyways. Well good luck.

Looks like your ready to cut! on 1 Nice fk n Grow!

DrOgkush · May 31, 2021

Trics are the devil lmao. Trics very last. Let plant mature. Let it look like weed.
Let her stop growing. Ripen like a fruit. Then check in depth maturity for your window. Beautiful plant man. Let her swell

If she was an apple. Imo. Shes still green and growing. Not even red yet.

Jjgrow420 · May 31, 2021

What would be the diff if you chop today or fri? It would still be early.

Not completely.

what they tend to not tell everyone is that they always quote their largest yielding phenotype when quoting yield ability.

they quote their fastest finishing phenotype when quoting flowering time.

these 2 phenotypes may not be the same one from the phenotype variations they have found (which could be ALOT of different phenotypes depending upon stability)

l try to add 3 weeks at least to stated flowering times. Even that is early imo. But better than any 65 day flowering except dinafem critical plus, 65 is just about right! Only strain that l know of like that, there are more. Just havent grown them yet.

I’m a 70-75 day critical+ man if I can get there (sometimes suffer botrytis due to cola sizes)

No no, I asked cause I been told 2 weeks ago that I have 2 weeks.
I have no experience with autos.

Most of the places I read say to harvest when 80% brown pistils and 20% amber so I was following it.

I will wait as you guys suggested.

My only concern now is that I started giving them Advance Nutrition Finish in the last week...
This is final flash product, so what should I do now?

Return to feed?
Water only?

Harvest today or in 4 days?
