Flowering Day 28

Buds are starting to really get some smell, the have an overwhelming smell of skittles with a little spice, but overall really really fruity - real sticky too.

Flowering Day 33

Buds are getting bigger, but some of the stems on the fan leaves are getting red and droopy, anyone know how to correct this?.

Hard to pry apart your fingers after touching the buds, the smell is great.

Flowering Day 37

Real strong odor in the house now. Buds are pretty big and dripping in trichromes. I picked up a bag of sour skittles today and the similarity is just ridiculous.

Going to have to cut them down early though which is a huge shame. March 10-12th is going to be the day. Can anyone ballpark just how much that is going to affect the crop?

Im going to use an actual camera for the next couple entries. I have been using my phone so far which does have a good camera, but they tend to be blurry.

OBVIOUSLY IT WILL AFFECT YOUR YEILD. It will make buds smell and taste like hay but honestly you will still get stoned. i dont know how big you are on taste but i also have had to harvest a few crops early but mostly due to infestation reasons and i hate it because it seems that no matter what strain u do it with it always comes out smelling and tasting like hay. if you just want to get stoned then dont worry but if you want yeild,taste,smell and quality then you will have to let them go longer. hope this helps
 
Flowering Day 41

Unfortunately harvest day is right around the corner. The hairs around the four plants at least are turning pretty red, with the little plant leading the charge, with a little more than half of its pistils being red. Top colas of the plants are real thick. I have been flushing for about a week now in preparation for the harvest.
 
Forgot the pics.

Harvest, Day 43 / Curing

Hanging pics are from the harvest last week, jarring pics are from yesterday.

Went on vacation for a week, came back and the plants were really dry, which was what I would expect. After jarring, they had a really really fruity and sour smell, which is great because I expected the dreaded hay smell.

Today the fruity and sour smell is still there, but there are some hay undertones because I added just a small amount of water on the top sides of each jar to try and re-hydrate a little bit.

total weight is about 4 oz bone dry.

anyone know know a good method to moisten them up just a little bit, practically like sand at this point?

Thanks to everyone who helped me out, results came out great.

YES orange peels in a coffee filter. use a rubber band to keep the top of the filter closed. A friend suggested this and when i tried it i got great results.check after 24 hours- replace the peels every 48 hrs. Super nice gro. + reppage
 
What size grow room was all that in? I'm going to be in the market for either a 400watt or 2 150watt mphs for one of my rooms when I get some more money. My girls are quite a ways behind yours were around day 20 =/
 
Yea, how does she smoke? I wanted to get some of these beans. I am hoping it's predominantly sativa, anyone?

Thanks,

NEVER add water to it in a jar. You will end up with mold. Next time jar them before they are that dry. then open up the jar and let then air out for like 15 minutes a day, till desired dryness. then keep sealed as much as poss.
