HARVEST?

[eazy100420]

first off. happy new years eve to all!
i have been growing 5 BUBBLEGUM AUTOMATIC plants from MSNL.COM for 50 days.
breeder suggests that the strain finishes in 60 days from seed.
i have 1 plant that seems to be finishing off a little faster than her sisters, most of the pistils have turned orange and trichomes are a nice white cloudy color.
wondering if its safe to chop or should i just wait 10-14 more days and just chop it when her sisters are done too. thanks

snap a bud, dry for five, smoke it and you be the judge.
I will say I have never ever regretted letting a "finished" plant go another week or so.
if I was without weed I couldnt resist sampling from her.....

Looks great btw!!

also i just started to flush yeterday...

 

[chemphlegm]

you already know to wait for at least that optimal experience
more pics when its dried I hope

I will for sure post more pics soon, and again once they are all chopped. Also give a dry weight

Looks ready from here. But as stated above I've also never been let down by allowing a plant to keep going

 

[chemphlegm]

very tasty!

Why ?

 

[CannaBruh]

Why ?

to get a jump on the chlorophyll dump?

lookin' great, kinda threw me for being an auto, truly nice

Still throwing lots of white (fresh) pistils, I'd give her another week easy

She looks healthy and happy, nice job

 

[chemphlegm]

whats yer feed ?

 

[chemphlegm]

flushing doesnt get rid of chlorophyll, thats in the leaves, and breaks down with proper drying/harvesting.
what your doing is stripping the soil of any nutrients in it, reducing the amount of oxygen for a bit, and
causing the plant to use up some of its stores of carbs while finishing, so you dont have to taste them or "cure/jar like a nut forever to break them down.

 

[CannaBruh]

Chlorophyll/chloroplast also breaks down during the plant life, can be seen when observe change of seasons. Feeding plain water can exacerbate this.

 

[chemphlegm]

yep, that. but if you wait till those sugar leaves and buds turn yellow and brown before you harvest you gotta lesson comin....
whats your feed??

 

[CannaBruh]

what lesson.. people have been doing this for a long time now, maybe I missed the lesson?

be careful of assumptions

 

[funksoulbrothers]

There's only one way good sir. Fry it 'n try it

hey man, you're the one asking an internet forum when to harvest your plant right.
you planning on waiting till your plant is in dirt and all its leaves turn yellow and brown, you know, so the chlorophyll is gone, before you harvest ? if so, you'd learn a lesson. thats it, all I said. if not, then it dont apply . no offense intended at all.

no

Don't assume that one is judging a time for harvesting based on a fade of leaves. It is possible to stop feeding or flush at the end and harvest at a nice window of cloudy trichs. Why assume that a flush would require that one harvests when leaves are yellow and brown? Why cannot some chlorophyll be depleted as a result of "flush" while in the same stroke watching trichs for that window, win win.
