First time grower

[SgtKiLLx]

My take on it is that we do not want to cut down on flowering time unless we are forced to. The longer the plant can take care of those flowers the better the end harvest will be. Just like the fruits and vegetables we eat will taste better if they are allowed to ripen versus eating them before they get ripe.



Once I see the leaves starting to get that golden yellow after several weeks of flowering my theory is that the plant has stopped growing new roots except for the occasional hair roots. If so many others agree that the plant is now absorbing nutrients from the leaves then that supports the theory that there is little if any growing of new roots.

Agreed.

Remember, the plant is now forcing energy to bud production. It's gonna get whatever nutrients she needs from where ever she can get em. The leaves are prime targets. Mine at one point we're fat , since buds started, the leaves are skinneh.

Well I've decided that I'm going to harvest my girl on Friday.

The way things are going there will be no more fan leaves by then because they are all falling off.. I bet a dozen of them had either fallen off or just came off when I barely touched them this morning..

Buds still look fine.. But I think she's done and ready to be harvested based on what is happening..

I'll keep you posted on the final weight I get out of her.. Based on what I can see.. It's going to be close to an oz. Hoping for a little over, but again.. I'll take what I get..

Then I can start my new babies for when I grow outside..

Can't wait to start again and see what I can do this time.. Bigger pots.. Bigger space..

How are the trichomes looking?

If you don't see any amber trichs,she's not really ready yet.
You can harvest when they're just all cloudy (translucent),but it's actually
better to wait for at least 10% amber

If you don't have a loupe,take a close up with your phone or camera,and then zoom in on it,
should help with seeing the condition of the trichomes.

I agree with Carcass, look before you leap! My Amber showed up today , but I use an antique microscope. Hell holding the phone up there to see , but it can be done . Here’s a pic

Remember.. I'm in a 1.5 gallon pot.. 1 Oz would probably be all I get..

Seems to be the average when it comes to the pot size I'm using.

 

[SgtKiLLx]

Find out when it's all dry and cured.

 

[Newguy31]

Last pictures before I cut her down tomorrow..

Surprisingly only 2 leaves came off this morning..

Let the drying/curing begin.. Lol

Welcome.

Well... Weighed in.. Only 17 grams... Guess it's not bad considering the size I kept the plant.. Wish it was more.. But anything is great.. Now to get ready for the next ones.. Lol..
