[First Grow] Early harvest due to Rain and Mold, how much did i loose?

[Avipt]

So due to heaps of rain and cold and cause of mold on one of my plants, i didt wanna risk the entire crop so i harvested the other day. My question is. being my first ever grow. How much potency and yield do you think ive lost?

The breeder said outdoor harvest est 120 days, i think these plants went 12 weeks. its autoflower mix indica sativa from Norden seeds. AK47 auto. Id say the pistills are 80-90% brown and it looks like they have retracted creating pods lookin things.

Now i didt have a scope so i used phone cam, and while i couldt see that clearly i think i did see some yellow reflections from the trichs that my cam light picked up, could it be amber?

Now since i didt wanna loose it all i didt really had a choice anyway.

You did a great job getting those buds on your first grow. This group of growers may have offered alternatives to harvesting before you felt they were ready. Feel free to do your next grow in a grow diary here, where you can get ample help to improve the skills you already possess.

Aye i should have, well whats done is done.It was done more out of necesity rather than something i wanted to do. Didt wanna risk mold spreading. i hope curing might help with some potency atleast

If you’ve harvested, get your plants hanging where there’s some air movement, prefer indoors, out of the sun. I usually trim as I hang the stems, everyone does it a little different. Humidity, air movement and temperature are important...good luck, it’s all on you to finish this grow up.

P.S. stop worrying about shit you can’t control, focus on what you can...

Yeah, it was not my plan, but i had a friend who lost half his plant to mold, so i felt better safe than sorry

think you said 12 weeks in flower,if that the case your looking more at sativa plants and 12 weeks to 16 weeks is normal

I have now read that curing does improve potency due to it activating the chemicals somewhat? im just curious if its barerly noticeable or by how much? %? Could not find any answer on that :/ Wow there is so much to learn, to bad i botched my first grow :(

i disagree,you didnt botch nothing you did learn something,even if it just gives you a small buzz ,its a buzz you didnt have and will tied you over to get another crop in ,once you have smoke the patience thing goes out the window and improvements are meet
