Almost time to Harvest! Thoughts?

[backyard_brewster147]

Evening update! Nothing knocked over today with sustained 20mph winds all day. More amber on the small one, at least noticeably at night. Better pics tomorrow

 

[backyard_brewster147]

Alright... it's looking close now. Some of the branches are getting weighty on the big one. Small one has a decent amount of amber too I think... let me know what you think!!

This really is so hard to tell from a far, but I’d still say, unless you have a problem going on, that 1-2 more weeks will be worth it!

Love it when the buds start to twist the branches with weight your looking good the end is near
If your weather is still good keep her going little longer

 

[backyard_brewster147]

Alright... 25 mph winds supposedly today over the next few days, with sustained night time temps in the 40s now. I'm going to chop tomorrow morning if think.

I did a once over and removed most of the yellow and dead leaves this morning, and will wash with my hose this afternoon (winds shoukd help clear that up quickly).

Had to put up two extra braces today; winds are gusty AF.

Looks to me like you're sheltered enough to make it through the wind storm. Keep us posted ....

Remember, you don’t have to take it all at once! You can take some and leave some a little longer! When to chop is the growers call!

I'm going to do this with the lower half of the big one; going to leave on as long as I can with the CO weather

And if it’s good weather, I would wait until the full moon to chop! It’s only a couple of days! Just two cents! You’re almost there! Lol!

 

[backyard_brewster147]

Sunday morning is as close to the full moon as I can get, won't be in town monday-tuesday unfortunately. Still I'm glad I waited longer than I did

You just want to harvest as close to the full moon as you can! Doesn’t have to be exact! I make a little ceremony out of it when it is chopping on the full moon! Looks like you’ve done OK! and I will be out on the night of the full moon doing a little ceremony, whether chopping or not! A spiritual thing! Lol! About as spiritual as this drunk gets!

And I prefer harvesting just before the sun comes up! For what it’s worth! Or just as the sun is coming up!

That's the plan... around 5-6AM. Ill be sure to take some last minute pics of the plants, here's my drying set-up as it stands (65-70F, 60% RH).

Got your string and scissors ready to rock! I hang mine in my bedroom! Cheech and Chong dreams! Lol!

Some lady minutes pics before harvesting; ladies survived 30+ mph winds this afternoon too.

 

[backyard_brewster147]

Just chopped the 3 main stems of the big one... and the small one. I had to do it a bit earlier than expected, still pretty late at night. I think it happened right at the height of the (almost) full moon. Currently drying in a converted bathroom at 65F/50-60%RH. Still have a number of lower sections of the big one still maturing too

Hoss = Republican lol...knee jerk reaction much hahaha! I see you, mate (big flag on your front lawn too huh..ick!)! Your preference was requested at the start of the poll. Being as that's what the purpose of a poll is, far be it from me to tell you how things work, though you clearly know it all, lol. If you had read and responded intelligently to the thousands of words I wrote explaining everything clearly, instead of reacting to three words in brackets, you would know I said it's about personal preference, specifically in regards to medicating. You also missed the part where trichomes age anyway on the plant or in the bag; there's no correlation to the strength of the final product after curing. Lots of conversion processes take place to age the trichomes when drying and curing...so milky or not, they all end up amber in the end.
You mean you tickle assholes, don't you?... cos imma giggling my ass off! Keep your political annoyances off the thread, bro. That's not fair... It's about weed. And all I've done is share my knowledge, which is kind of what this site is about. I'm a grain of sand - I irritate dickheads! I'm a wee bit of exercise -I chaff hemmoroids!

I did read all your spewing of Yourself. I can agree with some of it. But the thread is about the OP, NOT U.

BY THE WAY.!! I'm neither Republican or Democrat, not even neutral. IM TOTALLY Anti GOVERNMENT, and would love to see the one we have abolished, and start over where the people are back in control. Enough said....that gets really too deep.

I am all for sortition/aleatoric democracy

I'm estimating somewhere between 20-30 ounces this year, after eyeballing it.

It helps to have some air circulation in your drying area with a fan! I don’t know what you have set up there! Getting closer to the end! don’t want to screw it up now!
