Should I harvest?

woahtherelad · Mar 6, 2020

I had a lot of issues with this plant since it was my first plant. Strain is jack herrer it’s about a month into flowering. Does it look ready to harvest or should I wait longer?

Hmm. I would wait a little longer.

Well it definitely could go awhile longer, but sometimes you have to cut your losses. It's up to you, but those leaves make me a little worried. It looks like a fungal thing going on to me, and I would be worried about it getting worse and ruining the buds. My wife loves the early chopped stuff, so I don't hesitate to chop when I see something funky. Her favorite plant I grew was a 28 day Sunset Sherbert, that I chopped when I saw nanners.

I thought I had caused nutrient lock out due to giving it excess nutrients and I didn’t know that I had lock out and thought it was a deficiency so I gave more nutes. I later learned this was a common mistake for beginners and I had in fact burned my plant due to my ignorance. However, now that I’m looking at it maybe it was a fungus. How much longer do you think I can reasonably leave it before I HAVE to harvest. Or how long would you personally wait until chopping. Thank u for the advice!

Personally id flush with water (PH IT @ 6-6.5) for a couple days (if they are drinking) then chop....maybe tomorrow. Maybe Thursday....IF they get worse.....id cut. its a learning experience. I had a couple runs turn out like this....less is more in my case.

Also id like to say im not a doctor.

If it was me, I would chop them, and think of this round as a learning experience. You will also gain a bit of experience with drying and curing too, so it'll be a little easier next time. But it's up to you. At least you're learning.

Clean the dead off the plant and let it finish,you will not be happy with a plant harvested that early.

Brettman · Mar 7, 2020

I would go another week if possible. But Padawan does have a good point about the possible disease. It’s up to you, let us know how it turns out.

I would have to agree that it probably needs to be chopped. Something bad wrong there.

I agree there is no shame imo in harvesting a touch early it looks close close anyway.

I think I’m gonna wait a week and then chop to be safe

I’m going to try to make it last another week before I chop and I’ll update y’all.

Agreed and I suspect it is Botrytis.

Should I harvest?
