    This is my first harvest and wanted to know wither or not this herb was ready for curing? (See pic) I think it is big-bud-afghani(?)[​IMG] because it does resemble it. It is over the timeline but I have been growing on daylight simulated florescent bulbs (total equivalent total to 300 watts) :cool: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    I always look at the trichomes under a microscope.

    Their colour. They go from clear to milky to amber. I harvest when about a third are amber. But this is very much a matter of personal taste.

    Spanishfly is right, there is only one way to know when bud is ready to harvest, which is to look at the trichomes. Any other method is guesswork -- for example, you cannot go by when the pistils turn orange/brown.

    When the trichs are mostly cloudy/milky the THC is at its peak, and harvesting then will give a more cerebral high. WHen the trichs are mostly amber the other cannabinoids are at their peak and harvesting then will give a more body stone.

    P.S. That bud looks nice and sugary, enjoy it whenever it's ready!
