Hello friends,
I hope you are all having a great harvest season.

So this is my first time ever growing and I need to know what to look for to get the timing of harvest down.
Some information that might be useful is:
I am doing an outside grow in colorado
I am using soil and fabric pots
I am now in week 6 of flowering. At least I think.

What are the signs to look for when a plant is ready for harvest?

Attached is a photo I took just so you all can tell me what you think. This is about the average cola I didn't think I'd even get this far with the plants to be honest haha.

Hi welcome to the forum,I think you may have another 30 days to be done, you will see bud thicken ad become encrusted with trichomes , as mentioned earlier
you will need a jewelers loop , you want mostly cloudy 70% with some amber colored, the more amber the stronger they will smoke

Have a minute for another look? I’ve had some issues and thought I had rot so I’ve been rushed. I don’t want to pull early if they’ll make it and are still growing.

Full disclosure. I moved them from the. Backyard to the basement for full dark for 48 hours (just something I read) but if it won’t shock them I can put them back out.

All I can say is look close and pull any black stuff.do some research its all here on this site.. i personally grow indoors and control my humidity..never put them in the dark either

There’s no black. I had some brown sugar leaves but they snapped and didn’t pull. Inspected and sure. Just the first time and made a lot of mistakes. The dark thing came from here. More stress. lol. Thanks for replying. Sorry if it was rude
