Hi just wanted to know what you guys think. I split the stem to encourage thc production 6 days ago and potentially harvesting 4 -5 days from now. Do you think she's ready?
Is she ready for harvest?

We’ve just chopped our first crop total 6 months. It was a hard call, a couple threw out White pistills right to the end, trichs milky, plant obviously dying, a few no pistills lots of sugary sugar leaves & a couple that don’t look particularly ‘buddy’ but lots of lil sugar leaves - heavy tho. Anyway, shit man it’s been a looong slog & still I probly could’ve waited another week max tho I was getting anxious now I’m worried iv fucked it, but hey I think I’d feel that way if we’d waited or not. Now we wait for the total yield...

Thanks for the reply, I will take your advice on leaving it another week.

She's been flowering since early June and I'm getting anxious myself. Suffered nutrient burn 2 and half weeks ago but recovering well. Turning purple now and I'm gonna give it 1 more week

Didn't Bergman start that myth a few years ago?

From those pictures I think I would start considering chopping soon, but a cheap magnifier will really help, Good luck!

Is it possible to harvest some parts I.e. the top and some side colas and let the main cola mature another week?

I saw it on a YouTube tutorial. Also said to cut fan leaves 3 days before chop and to give 24 hrs darkness day before the chop. Is it worth it?

Myths are meant to be busted .... there ARE NO MAGIC STEPS to improve and or change when buds are mature. ...... forget the triches on sugar leaf ... they mature at different rates.
The calyx at bud is where the pistols will color and pull back. Triches there will show how close it is .
Don’t chop , split , boil roots , cast spells or other bullshit .....
It’s a god damn plant .... the flowers will mature when they mature. Just like fruit on a tree.
Hopefully you have some plans for the trim afterwards as they will be of use .

I do that most of the time, first I take the main Buds and then maybe a week later I take the next layer, sometimes I harvest in three layers if there's a lot of popcorn buds, if you give it a little time popcorn will also ripen into respectable smoke

I'm not sure, it's about as silly as saying that if you feed country time lemonade, your buds will be sweet!

I'll try the lemonade next grow (thanks for the tip)
Old hippies like me, we like to boil our roots, it makes all the THC go up to the buds Jimmy!
