Time to harvest

pyro2005 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-09-2005, 05:07 AM

I'm very conflicted. I have one stealth plant, being grown in a speaker of mine. Germinated December 18th, vegged 6 weeks, and has been flowering since. Very distinctive and strong scent, covered in crystals, but half of the pistils (red hairs[?]) are still white. I'm not sure if I should harvest now. I know you are supposed to look through a jewler's loupe to check for crystal color (opaque, translucent, etc.) to see when harvesting should occur. However, not having a jewlers loupe, that's a wee bit difficult. I don't want to harvest prematurely, and had originally thought of a late July harvest, but leaves are dying slowly, it smells, and looks ready, due to a pretty good amount of crystal coverage. (i'll take a macro later.) Just wanted everyone's opinion.

HIGH All, an Indica strain you can harvest 8 to 10 weeks in Flower and the Sativa strain you harvest from 10 to 14 weeks....yours I'm sure are due now. If you can't grow by the Trics...most grow by 50/50 red and white hairs. I'd say Pluck it and grow some more.

Thanks for the prompt replies. I'd say it looks probably 65:35 sativa: indica ratio. It's hard to tell even with my magnifying glass, here is the most recent picture. (today)

Upon my recent examination (about 5 minutes ago) I saw that most trichromes are cloudy. I think i'll finish out June, then harvest. Thanks for the compliment THC101. I think it's looking pretty yummy as well. Not too shabby for a first timer. Now I just have to learn to take macro shots like that.
