Harvest time!!

After careful consultation with a few experienced growers, I have decided to chop my plant at week 5 of flowering. Why? It's basically DONE. Most pistils had turned red, and more than half of the trichomes had turned amber.

So what you see here is a pic of after-trimming and then them hanging out to dry for a few days. Once that's done, I'll put them in mason jars for another week or so, then re-hang them with paper bags over them for another week.

Can't wait to smoke this, my first good plant since moving out here to Cali. It's so different growing out here compared to Memphis.

got any close up pics?

Deleted the other post with crap images.











There we go. Now you can have a better look.

Buds look pretty nice. Especially for such a quick flower.

what lights are you using?

It's great that you grew healthy plants but by looking at the pix u posted and I'm on an iPhone so maybe the image isn't what it seems but it looks thst u pulled them early cause the buds aren't dense at all maybe a few weeks longer next time

T5HO - 432 watts. That was the only pot plant in the closet growing, I was also growing other herbs and plants.

It's ready, rest assured. I think I may have stressed it a bit and that forced it into rapid maturation, with it thinking it was going to die soon. I don't even know the strain, just bagseed as far as I'm concerned. The trichomes were amber all over the place, and the pistils had been dead for a few weeks, minus the few sparse new ones that popped up.

I even had a few growers come over and examine the plants under magnifying lenses and my microscope, they said it was ready.

those were not done yet bro. too late now. enjoy

I would have aborted too. Smoke em and be happy, better luck next time.

Once the trichomes mature, theres nothing you can do. Buds arent gonna get any fatter and waiting longer would just mean a lowered potency.

HPS would help

I grew way more than just pot under those lights at the same time. WAY MORE.
