Ready or not?

Hi again sorry to be a pain but I just wanted to be absolutely sure this will be the best time to cut these down ( or at least the one in the foreground of the pictures)

No water for 4 days medium is dry, haven't had nutes (weak dose) for about 8 days, roughly.

Getting as close as I can with this 10x I can see that the trichs are cloudy, which is a good sign, but none of them are amber as far as I can see.

Too late, I've cut them down and they look lovely and ripe cloudy trichs majority orange hairs.

How are yours coming along by the way? Are you growing outdoors?

It really depends on what active ingredients you want. If you want more THC to break down into CBN harvest later and some trichomes will turn amber, it's not as strong as THC but it has a sleepy effect.

Fangule those plants look really nice, I think you should wait a week though to see if you get more swelling, however if you want to chop now as bud farmer suggests you wont be disappointed. I like the look of growing outdoors but I just don't have the room or the climate!

This is the top cola of my best plant out of the two weighed like this wet 200g. (it has since been trimmed and cleaned up and is now hang drying with the rest)
Hard to judge but once it's dry ill report back with my weights.

Northern lights grower, lets see what you have growing then...?

Ah yes the massive cola, I didn't lst last grow and one of by colas was 100g wet, getting a bud the size of my forearm was pretty awesome. You may want to chop it up into smaller buds like I did, dries faster and lowers risk of mould that way.

I just harvested and went crazy with lst this time, small buds but gazillions of em... I've been manicuring and setting up new grow for like 4 days!

Yeah the big bud has since been dried in smaller pieces and they are all in jars curing nicely ( saying that they need there daily burp)

Next time I'm topping to even out the light spread and hopefully end up with multiple large colas. I've already got an auto flower kush about 3 weeks in and just planted 2 original AK which have sprouted! Plus I've ordered a new 400w mars 2 LED light that should be here so, so it's all go for me!

Liking the results Fangule looks like some nice fresh nuggets get em hanging and cure that!

Sweet are the pics of your harvest in your sig? time consuming work this growing! but I love it

When I dried they were hung up at 23c and 50-55% humidity, with a fan blowing air in there direction, dried to a perfect cure state within 3 days.

70% does seem high, but the slower the better when drying from what I have gathered reading forums. BTW I have been following your journal NLG!

I usually buy pick n mix seeds from just feminized, they have a weekly sale where they put a strain on for half price so £2.66 a seed for original AK which is a bargain. I'm not sure where they ship too, it's based in the UK so I guess everywhere.
