New journey!

Just more couch lock with Indicas verses Sativa's with a lot of Amber.

Is that the same for both sativas and indicas? This run is like 70-80% sativa hybrid .

Sativas take longer to ripen. I had Thai plants(damn near pure sativa) that I chopped at 13 and 14 weeks and wished I went longer. It has been my experience that harvest time based on trichomes is the same for sativas and indicas. Sativas effect will generally be more energetic than indicas all things being equal.

The problem is that I started flushing a week ago. If this is going for 12-13 weeks that means it's too early. How am I supposed to know that ...

Experience with the strain. I usually figure 2+ weeks added in to what the breeder says. Your plants look healthy so I wouldn’t sweat cutting the nutes early.

My last godfather OG plant took over 12 weeks. I don’t see much amber on those yet. I’d keep checking them for a bit more for myself but some would harvest I’m sure

Day 70.l, Plants look good. They all got some amber like 10% max but I still see some clear trichromes. I believe 7 to 10 days maximum. A must for my next grow is to fix an ac issue. All plants smell amazing except one which ac was hitting directly in its face, she's looking drier and less smell than the rest. I m waiting for harvest day like crazy but a new run is what excites me the most .

Nice work

enjoy that harvest!

Personally, I never hack a plant when its still got clear trichomes. All milky with whatever amber I'm shooting for is how I do it.
I had a Black Vietnamese/White Widow that went 18 weeks and was flat out killer. Well worth the wait. YMMV.

I will never early harvest again. I don't like the high st all ..

Day 72. Made some progress with ripening! Need some more amber right ? I think day 77 will be the harvest day

 

[oldfogey8]

Those are ripening up nicely.

Found 2 bananas and removed them, farther inspection tomorrow... I will give them 5 more days and if they are not ready I will just put them in darkness for 2-4days to ripen some more. So it's official, scissors in 5 days

This late in the game, bananas are a bummer but it is unlikely you will get many seeds(unless they have been hermie-ing for a while and you just found them). I think you will be glad you waited. I think most any strain can eventually hermie since it is kind of a survival of the species thing. If nobody is going to ask the girl to dance, she will eventually dance alone.

Jackie-O was like that…73-74 days and BAM!…a few nanners

but yeah , we just picked them off and no biggie

there was a difference in taste and,potency if one took her to 78-82 days

but then ya had to deal with a few seeds

From personal experience with nanners, you got about 5-7 days before tiny seeds appear

Day 73. Those bananas I found yesterday freaked me out... I'm close to 30% amber but they are not 100% ready.. if I put them in darkness for 2-4 days trichromes won't ripen some more ? I MUST not find seeds on this harvest..

 

[ilv911]

Day 74. Something really important happened. I will try to explain it with bad English though.

Week 7 flowering I started using pk booster overdrive up to week 9 . Buds got huge boost on trichromes and weight but I got nut burn (p-k) my fault.
Flowers lost a lot of their smell and they got an aroma of smth weird like chemical. After flushing for 10 days already suddenly today when I opened my grow room door all these citrus flavors and aroma kicked my nostrils again. I'm 99,99999999% sure that flushing helps for sure IF and I repeat IF you get nut burn cus of pk boosters like overdrive. I read some articles a month ago which were saying that p or k excess I don't remember which one, can degrade canabis flavors and terpenes.

Day 76! We made it !!!!! Trichromes look lovly! Tomorrow last day lights on and then 2 days completely darkness for my girls so I can chop Wednesday on my day off . @pute huge thanks for stopping me harvest early!


Few plants are not 100% ready but I got no dry room. I will chop them all down so they can dry on 60F 60% humidity

 

[ilv911]

Day 77. It's official, lights are off ! We're done babe after long waiting. I did cut a bud, grind it and let it dry for 9 hours inside a drawer. Came back from work and it was dry enough to smoke it, bad taste, amazing high! It will be after drying-curing.

Did a stem split on one of my plants a week ago. It has by far the strongest smell. Maybe its just the plant so I will try it on more next time to see if it's actually working. Anyone ever tried stem split ?
