Harvest Time?

[4ONTHE3RDFLR]

Hello Everyone
I am a first time grower and I have a couple of plants that are showing signs of maturation. (outdoor, in pots) The closeup photos reveal a mix of clear and milky with spots of amber. the buds overall are small though. Time to cut?!?

 

[ChefDGreen]

How long have they been flowering? The buds don’t look even close to fully formed

just a couple of weeks. planted may24

 

[ChefDGreen]

Yeah, you’ve got at least 6 weeks left. The amber you’re seeing is surely on the sugar leaves and not on the calyxes.. you’re not even close bud

 

[4ONTHE3RDFLR]

Good to know! Thanks for your insight.

Hey 4ONTHE3RDFLR,
I agree with Chef. You are still in the early stages of flower. At least a month before you could consider an early harvest.
Don't look at the trichomes on the leaves. Only look at the trichomes on the buds themselves.

Thanks. I’ll do more image research

Hi Chef and Greenlizard

update:
Thanks again for your advice on sept12. Things seem to be progressing nicely since then. All the while I have been combating a constant mold/mildew problem. The nights are very cold and dewy and, as the buds get tighter, it seems even harder to treat. I have been spot- spraying daily with hydrogen peroxide.

Everyone is getting close! It’s up to you when to chop. Don’t cut her early. I think I still need a week maybe 2.

 

[Greenlizard]

It's looking good. I'd say maybe another week. This upcoming weekend will be harvest weekend for a lot of outdoor growers I think. In my area the frost has been early and people are getting antsy.
Have you considered washing your buds after harvest?

Yeah I’ve been looking up bud washing. I have these lil whiteflies and . I smash those lil bastardswhen I find em, but I’ve been finding little little ones, like half a fingernail long. I hope I only will have to throw out a couple buds. But it’s sad and scary when it’s this close and your getting chomped. Has the h202 helped the bud rot?

 

[Enjoil]

And caterpillars . Ahhhh. I hate em.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just read up on it and it seem like a good thing to do.

I’m scared of what I will fi

im scared of what I will find! Lol

 

[ChefDGreen]

Yeah I think lizard is right on at least one more week. I still see quite a few clear trichomes. My guess is probably more like two more weeks
