How Long Should I Wait..

[Mizuta3]

the hairs on my plants just changed to orange...how long do you wait to pull them after that? cause i know that thats when their supposed to be done..

 

[bigbudjohn420]

well you need to harvest at like 40 percent red or orange hair... dont wait for all of them to turn

 

[Mizuta3]

i sprayed them before they turned and then all a sudden all the hairs changed...is it really ready or is it from the spray?

It is 100% from the spray. I have had this happen many times. The best way to know when to harvest is to use a scope to check the trichomes. If you dont have one go to radio shack (the shack) and pick one up. I think they are around $20. How long have you been flowering? My motto is "when it looks ready wait a week". I have also never seen weed that matured to long but I have seen lots that could have been wa better if the grower just let go a little longer. But you know how the commercial grower is. Always in a hurry to get it out and get the money in. If you grow for your own use its well worth waiting till its done. Good luck

Its not ready! What did you spray them with? You should not spray anything on a flowering plant. How long have you been flowering? Indica or sativa? You should do more research to determine when your plant is ready. You have a lot of time invested, and i know you want to get the most out of it. There's a lot more to it then just the color of the hairs.

well i had mites and i used azatrol and supposedly it wasnt supposed to fucking do anything to the bud or leaves and now this shit is happening..... first grow by myself so you know i wasnt losing my babies...

 

[Mizuta3]

as you can see the hairs turned orange just like they were done

You need to be thinking trichomes.

so then 7-8 weeks is the max amount of time you should let a plant flower before harvest time???

as a general rule of thumb.. Some sativa's can take as long as up to 12+ Weeks to fully mature

I Would get a 30x Scope, they should cost about $15.00 from your local agricultural shop!
