At what point should I harvest?

[Gaharvest]

Also read on here that BigBud strain was prone to foxtail. Is that true?

Less than 5% of all known strains (photos) are ready to harvest before 9 weeks….. also don’t flush it has been proven to not do anything but hurt the end product in a lab with people who get paid 6 figures a year to do what they do because they’re the best…..if you don’t believe me look it up …rx industries flushing trial….5 clones from the same plant……

With photos when do you start the flower count? On flip? Or first pistils?

On flip. Because you can't see when the plant runs low on nitrogen to trigger the flip.

We've always started at first pistil. We've been pretty accurate this way. It's all rather subjective

I suppose you could count back 4 days from the first pistil.

I just harvested my Watermelon Gushers. It was exactly 8 weeks and 1 day from flip. 90% of trichomes are milky white, and maybe 5% are clear and 5% yellowish/turning amber. All pistils are orange and withered. Must be one of the 5%ers. Although Cannarado says 60 days.....

That's ya big bud wow mine is wow ahhh way too early

And this ^^ is the result of too much Amber.

Soooo ahhhhhh weird mine dont look like a hermie?

I do see a seed. It's female that's been pollenated.
Let it grow. You will have some decent smoke, not the greatest.
But you will also have seeds for the future if you let them mature all the way.

Why not grow it out? The tent is already pollenated.

If it were my plant, I think I'd take it out now. It's turning yellow white at the top and i fear when it's dried its going to have a lot of empty bracts that snap and poof to dust. I'm hoping that's not the case obviously but just in case.

I would burn it after removing it in a plastic bag. Then I'd clean the whole space and try get rid of any pollen.

Notice I changed my post after it finished loading.

Funny I guess I’m I just confused. So the rest of my plants are females. This plant started out as a seedling this way and was never pollinated along the way. So what am I missing? I should of just killed it but being my first grow I let it grow. My other BigBuds came out fine.

Dried and will cure for 30days. Added a boveda 62% rh packs. Zero seeds. Hopefully comes out ok.

No seeds!! Great start! Here's hoping it's some stellar smoke!!

So I know it is early in the curing but I had to try this BigBud out. Came out super smooth. Taste was amazing and not too couch lock. A couple more weeks will probably taste even better.
