Dazza1529 · May 18, 2023

Hi guys so we’re day 47 (7 weeks roughly) on some Blueberry OG barneys farm reckons 55days is about peak for this plant take a look at these pics I know the trichome pics ain’t the best I have a better lens coming tomorrow I harvested a bud today and this is the pics from the bud. Thanks guys

Whole plant pics would be better.

Dazza1529 · May 18, 2023

Lights are on at the minute I have some from last week I understand a lot can change in a week but take a look pal and the light is on in these I have tried blocking best I can

Hollatchaboy · May 18, 2023

Imo you have 3-4 weeks.

weedstoner420 · May 18, 2023

^^^ yup looks about 2/3rds done to me. Looking great so far!

McStrats · May 18, 2023

Looks good. You have about 11-12 weeks total. I'd say you have 4-5 weeks left.

Dazza1529 · May 18, 2023

The last pictures are from last week so I was leaning towards 2-3 weeks so that’s great thanks guys

Hi guys turned the lights off for a quick minute to take some better pictures today my only concern is the buds are nice chunky buds but it looks as if the sides of the buds are growing outwards into like balls filled with white hairs the pictures don’t do it any justice is this normal or the start of hermie? Couldn’t see any seeds or anything like that

Those are called “foxtails“. Happens late in life for a variety of reasons, often just genetics. Not the start of hermie or anything.
looks good!
as far as harvest, 1-3 weeks depending on what you want …. Looks like you’ve got a good batch going, you may want to stagger your harvest days a bit to see what you end up liking, as far as maturity goes.

Ah perfect thanks mate and yeh they’re looking decent a couple weeks now hopefully

Some plants just mature like that - after the first flush of pistils die and turn brown, they put out a second flush (and sometimes 3 or more) in a last-ditch effort to get pollinated. Sometimes they will just keep spitting them out slowly forever.

Personally I would wait to harvest until the second flush turns brown

Hi mate thanks for your response I understand all plants are different what kind of time frame are we looking before they turn amber? Judging of the trichomes they look to have maybe 2-3 weeks left

I gave up on judging by trichomes. I've looked at many pics posted on the internet, and at my own plants under a microscope, and it's just to hard to tell.

I go for when the pistils are almost all brown (maybe a few stragglers or fresh ones here and there) and the calyxes are swollen like there are seeds inside.

For yours I'd lean more towards 3+ weeks, but at this point all I can definitively say is "not yet." If you want more advice from folks here, 2-3 weeks is probably a good time to check back in. If it's only your first or second time, the last few weeks really seem to crawl...

My buds are looking swollen that’s what I was on about earlier when I learnt they’re called foxtails but I agreee a couple more weeks most definitely

Okay guys took this bud off today we’re now at 59 days 12/12 the bud growth has halted here’s a new bud pic from today I’m tempted to harvest?

Kola_Kreator · May 29, 2023

Still another 2 or 3 weeks to go. If you harvest now you will have low potency and low yield weight compared to what you would have got.

If I were you I’d wait another week or 2 and during that time lower my N input slightly

Dazza1529 · May 29, 2023

I understand The potency side of things the weight side of things not so much they don’t seem to be packing anymore

They’re on A&B and they’re receiving a EC of 0.8 now
