when to harvest a pollinated girl

yamin said:

so 1 of my outdoor plant got foreign pollination....

im guessing some wild males growing somewhere.....no male flowers so not a hermi....

she was put into 12/12 on feb 22..... so she's like 45days into flowering

75% of the white hairs have become red/amber with some seed pods....
even got a seed yesterday that has cracked overnight in a cup of water

should i harvest now or wait??

thanks

It depends on if you want pot to smoke more than you want mature seeds.

If you want pot to smoke harvest when the trichome color is what will give you the high or stone or combination of both that you prefer and do not worry about pistil color or seeds being mature.

If you want seeds then wait until they are mature.

If you want some of each harvest as much of the plant as you want to smoke when the trichome color is what is best according to your tastes/likes and allow the remaining portion to fully mature.

If they, the seeds, are fully mature now then harvest all at one time if/when the trichome color is what you want it to be.

nice nice, +rep my friend, this is exactly what i was looking for as well.... thats insane about what you say about maby some males being around somewhere. i guess it depends on where you live. i live in so-cal and iv'e heard of that happening on very few occations up in humbolt, mendo, and S.B, im not a pro but check real good for bananas man, them fuckers hide really good sometimes, its not uncommon for plants to turn hermie. iv'e been pulling em off a few of my diesels due to a light leak i had a few weeks back.

I'd say let em go til 8 weeks then flush...personally I'd not pull a plant before 8 weeks anyway if I wanted seeds OR smoke

Yea you want it to flower a little longer when you want seeds, i made that mistake before, the only thing worse than picking out seeds is picking out useless seeds. Wait till they look like they are going to pop out.

nice, ill be harvesting around the same time. hey in your group photos, you have a picture of "ganja balls"... just curious, how long to you gotta spent in the ganja fields to get 1 ball like that? i understand the wild grow is not too great hence the dominant hash smoking in india.
