I heard if you harvest too late the trichomes pop and you loose thc, is this true? I wouldn't worry about when to harvest time much if this isn't true. I only heard this once, and it might be fake.

i am so happy that i have found this thread - really in need of some expert advice as im off on holiday in a week and not sure whether to stick or twist. i will post up some pics tomorrow when i get my nikon back ( pointless using the iphone ) and if you could cast you gaze upon them i would be really appreciative. only downside to this thread is that i have now subconsciously linked baby herman with harvesting :) in your pic he is even pointing at a mature lady uttering 'she's ready'!!

strain - applejack ( ww x jack h ) from seed - seedism recommend this as an 8-10 weeker.

8 1/2 weeks since switching to 12/12 - under 600w hps adjustawing 8" from canopy - 11l pots bio allmix - temps 73-84f day 65-68f night - 250m3 extractor with rhino CF, passive intake, 1x1x2m tent.

was planning on chopping down on the 9th feb ( 2 weeks from today ), last feed was on sunday and was planning on starting flushing when the pots have dried out ( probably this saturday ).

plants A and D seem to be going through a second bloom phase as there seems to be lots of new calyxes with new white hairs on the top of buds - plant D bud formation looks slightly different from the rest with new calyxes growing in different directions ( but doesn't seem to have as much trichomes as the rest ) is this normal ??

the four groups of uploaded photos show 4 different plants - A C D E
after checking the trichomes today roughly they looked ......

A - 65% cloudy 35% clear , a few turned amber
C - 80-85% cloudy 20% clear , a few turned amber
D - 70% cloudy 30 % clear
E - 50% cloudy 50% clear

to my novice eyes only plant C looks ready or near to being ready.

i do have a slight problem as im going away from the 2nd feb - 8th feb.....so do i chop before or after ??

Hi
Just wanted to know what you thought about these two are they ready? The taller of the two is Big Bud and the other Bubble Gum. Sorry I can't get in any closer with the camera but about 15% of the trichomes on the BubbleGum are amber in colour and about 10% on the Big Bud. Thanks

you could chop now.... or wait like 2-3 more days.. let her amber up some more

thanks ever so much - i will chop them the day i get back ( 8th feb ). in your opinion what order should they be chopped down, could you rate them according to maturity ?? my guess is (from mature to immature) C A D E

also is it possible to not actually chop them but just switch the lights off ?? as someone will be able to to so when im away. i was thinking of doing this on the 6th feb ( 12 days away ), as im back on the 8th - would this work

im guessing the flush should begin now ??

cheers pal
