To Harvest or not to Harvest

Growlog link: [WZ Autos #1]

I always second question myself on when to harvest. I just too those trichome pics of my Whiskey Zulu girls.

Harvest or wait until Sunday or even Monday perhaps???

Throw in your .02¢ It can’t be worse than my thoughts of needing help. :joy:

Always wait longer you think.

Yea? Ok I’ll let it roll until Monday then recheck it.

Theyre ready, tons of amber in every shot if ypu want to chop. Honestly personal preference at this point. If it was me i would harvest

I think you maybe right. I see the amber spots on closer look. Some of them are hard to see but mostly that’s cause of health issues preventing my hands from being steady…. I actually need to harvest soon. My new light shows up today!!!

I always hate this part, it’s always a judgement call and I don’t wanna get it wrong and ruin my buds.

What does your first instinct say? Go with that.

I looked at all the plants in multiple sites to check and double check and the results came in as to cut them down……

You should look at the trichomes on the flower calyxes; when about 20% are amber, she is ripe. The manufacturer’s specifications usually don’t match. It usually takes 1-2 weeks longer.

I’ve got some apple betty going on week 12 flower. Think I need another week or 2. I flushed a few days ago and sticking with ph’d water from here on out. Any help would be cool. The whole picture is from last week. And that giant thick thing :sweat_smile:. Never seen that before. Second grow, soil, tent.

If it is apple betty from herbies make sure you are checking the trichomes and not using pistils to judge how far you have left. Mine finished right at 9 weeks but was still throwing fresh white pistils right up until they were chopped.

After a few weeks of curing it is absolutely beautiful to smoke too though.
