Harvest Time??

I've got a lovely crop of Casey Jones and Blue Dream on the table.

Problem is that they are huge and getting really tough to manage. I guess that's not really a problem Also, they look ready- pistils are orange and trichomes look cloudy, pink and starting to droop under 100x mag.

So... how closely should I follow the flowering times? Should I go with recommended times or should I go with when it looks done? How much does a day or two or four make?

I'm 6 more days from Casey's minimum flowering time and even further from Blue Dream's...

RO flush began 6 days ago.

THANKS for any thoughts!!!

get some pics up mate

pictures needed to help but guidelines norm pretty good , are your fan leaves yellow and crispy ?

Go by the trics and swelling of calaxys. Those days they give you are just estimates, could be more or less what they say.

Some strains will produce heavy resins if grown an extra full week after the recommended time. I'm not sure about those strains butt if you contact the breeder he will know. or the seedbank customer reps if there good they will know too. sound like there ready tho, use your own descretion, It won't hurt to leech the chemicals out with lowering your nutruints to 40 ppm for the last few day's if your gonna keep them on. good look buddy sounds like your doing just fine

Hey bro, I got the same blue dream plants. I switched to 12/12 on Dec 21st. I checked them today and got a few pistils turning orange. They are like 5 feet tall, colas everywhere. By the book 8 weeks flower is Feb 21st but I have been doing fox farm nutes and need a good flush. So I figured flush on feb 3rd and 8th and harvest around the 13th or so. I got my clones down in OC. Let me know how fast your psitils and trich's change because I want to get a good amber/milky mix.
let me know how your harvest goes.
I am going to dry in my tent at 72 degrees and 30% humidity.
