When do I harvest? (first grow, very amateur)

Hey all,
So from the pics you can see this is no professional grow... Just something in my closet along with my vegetables to see "can I grow cannabis?" it was basic start from seed into dirt. The plant is pretty small but it really has some nice buds growing on it! What I want to know is when should I be harvesting this little baby? I see many hairs and crystals forming but it looks like more is coming....


Let me know what you think! I still have like 20 seeds saved for later in life.... Perhaps one day with my own little greenhouse....


Peace!

How long would you say that it's been flowering?

I don't really see any buds yet, it's definetly starting to flower though. The couple signs I know to look for are yellowing of the leaves (means plant is almost done its life cycle and buds should be done) or get a magnifying glass and check out the trichromes, if they're clear the're not ready, if they're cloudy/foggy then they're ready, and if they're amber then they're ready and even stronger

How long would you say that it's been flowering?

I'd say it's been flowering a 2-3 weeks now.


Thanks for the advice y'all!


I know it probably has a ways to go but it's so exciting watching the little trichomes form and hairs grow

You probably have another 6-8 weeks to go, there is some excellent guides on when to harvest just look through the stickies.

Did you buy the seeds? Is it an autoflower plant?

Did you buy the seeds? Is it an autoflower plant?

Nope didn't buy the seeds... I have a little stash from random dank where one or two seeds cropped up... No idea what this one is.... could be granddaddy purp, could be blueberry, could be blue dreams, could be another random dank I don't remember...

I don't know if the live plant smells much different from the dried bud, but it definitely is skunky, but with a slight fruity/fresh hint that could almost smell hazy... but i dunno...


she's coming along nicely!

At least 5 weeks to go, but it looks happy and healthy.

i'll mark my calendar for the end of july

the hairs are starting to turn orange.... and the buds are bulking up....


decided to take a T-break until i harvest.... (not to mention i need a new job and need to pee clean too)

on day 5 and the dreams have come swelling back.... crazy when it's been years since i stopped....

Yeh, it can be nerve racking when you first start to see those sugar leaves. But your patience will reward you.

I have found that it's a big help to write everything down. Write down what day you started flowering, write down what nutes you put in, when you watered, etc. Keep a garden journal. It comes in really handy.

grow baby grow!

definitely getting more dense...

so my girl is starting to sprout additional little shoots on the main buds... I don't know if i should pinch these off of let them mature....

what do you experts think?

Absoultely beautiful. Marvelous job on it!

Don't pinch anything off. It's not like the plant has too many bud sites.

yessir... i shall not pinch!

Thats a sexy plant man.. def has a bit to go tho

righto it's been about 5 weeks since my last pic update.... here's where the girl's at. Those tiny buds have sprouted out and spread and the plant has filled out nicely... think it's time to cut? or should i give it another week or 2?

Personally I think you'll still need a week or 2, good lookin plant though man!!

2 weeks in ur dreams. The buds are so small. I would give that plant another month maybe more. What r u feeding with?
