Hello guys it's my first harvest. Should I harvest knowing it's an Early Maroc seed and I'm not expecting good weather?
Also for harvest I cut them and then put them in the dark for three days or it's the other way around?

Nice plant! It's way too early to harvest if you want something reasonably good, your plant looks like it has at least another 3 weeks.

What does the weather look like for the next month? That will determine when you harvest, the later you can wait the better quality bud you will get, however you will also likely lose at least some produce to bud rot if the weather is wet, this is a balancing act.

For your harvest time, if you choose to put the plant in the dark for a day or two, you would do this while the plant is still in its pot.
Once you remove the branches from the plant, they will start their drying process, be sure you have your drying environment ready or they will go moldy within a short period of time.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice OldMan but I can't do that unfortunately for discretion matters. However I could laten the harvest time if I can dry up my plant faster. I'll look into that thanks for the help. Btw can you smoke it wet?
Also I chose this seed because it was written that harvest would be in mid august isn't it weird I should wait 3 more weeks?

Npz m8 n no its not a nice smoke wet m8. By the look of things we're your grow is surely u can make a cover to protect her from the rain n wind a simple 2x2.with a top wud work well. But good luck with her if you can wait a little longer. She will reward u with a nice smoke.

It's in a field/forest that's why I can't cover it bro. What do you think about covering only the soil at the base of the plant? I'm afraid condensation will worsen humidity but at the same it won't receive the rain (it's in a pot)

Gosh m8. I wudnt know about that u need to worry about the bud not the soil.. If she's in a pot can u not move her to a better spot with a little cover less suss. That's the only problem growing outside m8. Is the conditions. I have same problem living in the UK. Weather s. Not a givin.. I'd love to help ya more but out of my knowledge outside. Iam a tent grower. Outside don't work for me.. Gl m8
 
#14
Thanks for the advice. I'm afraid of covering it though because it won't receive much light and there is already so little UV in this end of summer.
 
#15
I didn't mean cover her. I ment move her to a more protective spot mybe a few bushes. Or plants around her.. Sorry.. Iv just had a look on the Web. N to be honest because she's n outside strain. As long as u keep n eye on her before n after a storm. U shud be good m8.. If its been raining a lot keep eye on her. Do u live in a none legal. For weed. N that's why she's in a field?
 
#16
Yeah I know what you meant. It's already kind of in bushes actually.
I guess I'll just have to wait haha. The thing that really disturbs me is that harvest time was supposed to be in mid august for this seed. I'm worried to go against the genetics. Is that a thing or not ?
 
#17
No I usually let the plant tell me m8.. She still as lots of white hairs on her. Mybe she's just been knocked back a little due to conditions. I wudnt be to worried if she's got this far a few more weeks won't hurt her tbh. Do u live in a none legal country?
 
#18
Ok thanks. Yeah I live in a non legal country unfortunately.

Hello guys, this is what it looks like one week after. It didn't receive much sun unfortunately. I have the feeling it hasn't evolved much. Would you think it will be acceptable to harvest this in 2 weeks?

The last few weeks of flowering always feel like nothing has changed much. You might be able to harvest in 2 weeks, it would be a very uppity high and still likely premature. The longer you can wait the better, I have almost come to accept a touch of bud rot is part of the game when it comes to growing outdoors.
