If you really wanted to investigate ripeness I would harvest the plant in five parts 0-5%, 20-25%, 50%, 75%,100%. Cure them all and then compare.
Try not to overthink all of this.... Plants do some cool stuff like moving nutrients around to where the plant needs them. This decision is done in 2 places - one at the top or main cola called the apical meristem (the other at the root meristem). Chopping the apical meristem (main cola) off is not going to help with anything. I just chop the entire plant down and be done with it.
What happens with regard to "ripeness" for this strain they usually ripen top to btm. So if you harvest when the tops are ripe your lower down flowers will still have some fresh pistols which means clear trichomes and a bit more head high. I like both so I just chop when all of the flowers are ripe (no new pistols).
This is a fairly long lasting high, at least it is for me and it's pretty strong as well so I don't fret on the time to chop.
Nice job glimmergrass , that is a beauty !
Happy Shatterday DD community!

THAT is some damned impressive training in a week's time arteekay. Reps for that baby. I count 10-12 decent bud sites getting ready to explode. Nice, level canopy too. Damned impressive.
Calls for a celebration.
I'm quite liking the weekly frequency of my Dark Devil posts here. I post daily in my own grow journals, and it surprised me how much she changed this week.
The training is an experiment. Hoping I can get three basically rectangular plants into a 4x4 under two Mars II 900s better than as offset squares or circles. So far I'm loving it and the plants haven't seemed to have minded.
So the the plant ripens top to bottom (I certainly observed that on my first grow) and harvesting the top, apical cola will stop the process? Meaning if there are lower, lateral branches they won't continue to grow or develop? What about cannabis plants that have been topped in the vegetation stage and therefore had the apical dominance of the main cola disrupted?
Looking at it in another way, if I wanted to, I could harvest the whole plant and just label the buds depending on where they came from the plant? I harvested my last plants all in one go, but didn't keep the buds separated.
I know, I'm overthinking again
Oh yea, read up on how tobacco people cure their stuff. Apparently they laugh at us for quick drying our bud as opposed to a long cure. Granted...there is higher risk of mold as the long cure is more complicated, requires more environmental control for longer period of time. But apparently the pay off is phenomenally superb.
Hey, gang!
Thanks, bobrown!
I flush (well, a little ) because I'm growing in coco coir with synthetic nutes I haven't done a real flush this time on the Blue Dream I just harvested -- I've given just plain water for the last week.
My third grow, which I've just started, is all in organic soil, so that will be really different for me! Just popped my second Dark Devil on that grow!
Rifleman, she looks gorgeous. So even and well-trained
