My plant has 50% of the hairs turned reddish brown. It will have been in flower for 6 weeks this monday. I went ahead and flushed it with water 2 days ago and then with molasses water yesterday.

I am wanting to harvest them earlier for the sporty energetic high, I don't much like that couch lock napping type of high. I don't have a microscope to check the trichs, but do you think I'm on the right track? It seems as though the buds are looking a little tiny bit fatter each day.

I ws going to flush every few days for about 2 more weeks and then see if it was ready to harvest.

Pic of it on my avatar. Any advice? :bigjoint:

looks like an indica. you won't get a racy high harvesting an indica early. you need to grow sativas for a racy high. that "harvest early for an uppity high" is bullsh*t. it's the genetics of the plant that determine the high. :weed:

You really seem to know your stuff so let me ask you this..... I have pulled trimmed and hung my bluberry crop. I am pretty sure I pulled it about 4 or 5 days early because only the big buds have turned purple. If I keep the temp down to about 68 in the room that they are hanging, will it help make the rest of the buds more purple?

nope. :-( though the color may start to show as it dries. it often changes while it dries.

having an outdoor plant that I've had to hide in some fairly tall grass, looks like the tops are almost ready but the lower branches are less mature. and now I see on the very bottom are some new ones coming out. needless to say I was quite shocked to see a half dozen or so new ones starting to shoot up. the plant is small and I only have the one.
Can I clip what is ready and leave the rest to grow?
If yes, do I cut the main stalk at the top just below them or the branches that they are growing on? my guess would be to clip the branches.
my concern is shocking the plant if too much is clipped.

any help on this would greatly be appreciated

I have a question . As you harvest a little each day and adding bud to your dry area does the newly added bud hinder the older from drying ? If so are there any way around this using the same room?

i mark where i stop at the end of the day so i don't mix wet bud with dry bud. having it hang side by side doesn't slow dry, much. not that i've ever really noticed. i keep a small heater and fan going in my room. i don't want it to be hot but i do want it to be dry, in my room.

i wasn't sure if you did or not. i have been following just about all of your advice, and nothing has failed me yet, so i guess i wont be using molasses then lol. do you think its necessary to use 3X's the amount of water tho?
