Duly notedNot at this stage! Male flowers can produce pollen as early as 2 weeks after changing lights to the 12/12. 3-6 weeks after initiating flowering, pollen sacks open and continue producing flowers for several weeks after the first pods have begun to shed pollen. Once male flowers are clearly visible but not yet open, THC production is at peak level. THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO HARVEST and make hash oil, LOL.
thank you!

like the leaves are curling up and what not, looking pretty nasty, not like something i wanna smoke lol. granted, it was a smaller cola that didnt get as much light but still. i let it dry in a show box for 2 days and i thought it was ready for a jar so ive been burping them ever so often. thanks in advance man.
I would just leave the leafs alone just cut the yellow leafs off. What is happening is once the leaves start turning colors going from green to kinda yellowish to orange that's an indications the plants are running low on the nutes. I'm convinced by flushing with plain water and some molasses for 2 weeks straight you will have much smoother smoke and better taste. with my last harvest I trimmed all the leaves and made the buds looking like lollipop shapes. after drying and curing the smoke was as good as without trimming. The key is when to cut and how to dry em. The best time to harvest is in the morning when the THC content is at it's peak. You can harvest entire plant or one branch at a time. You can remove the large leaves 1-2 days before actually cutting the plants down or remove leaves after cutting.zeeb, whats up man. hope all is well on the west coast.
Im fuckin curious... im getting close to harvest and I am starting to worry that I will fuck all my time spent and hard work up in the cure/trim. I wanted some first hand advice on your general harvest techniques. I plan on trimming up the plant now, during flush (cutting anything below my canopy or any leaves that are resin-less) to force the fresh water straight to the buds to flush them out. Im mainly wondering when you do your fine trimming. some do it while the plant is wet and some do it after its dry, right before they go in jars. i think this is definitely the trickiest part of the process. I think I'll have the jar cycle down. I just wanna get there first.
im mainly asking because I chopped a little cola a few days ago and its looking pretty shwag
