When to harvest?

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by VTX1800, Sep 26, 2010.

  1. I have an outside plant of unknown strain. (bag seed)
    It has been in flower for about 4 weeks.
    The branches are full of buds that have reddish brown hairs.
    When can I be sure they are ready to harvest?
    Also, is there such a thing as letting them go too long?
    And, if so, what are the consequences?
    TIA,

  2. Check the trichomes under magnification to tell when the plant is ready.

    If you leave a plant go too long the buds will lose potency as the THC begins to degrade.
