How do these look?
Any estimates on when they'll be ready to cut?
The darker one is diesel Berry, the other chemdog - autos.
Both planted 12th May.
One said it would be 9 weeks, the other 11, so we are at about 10 weeks.
Thanks.
Well, I’ll admit I don’t grow autos, but as an outdoor grower where it takes 8 months, I always laugh at those numbers. I guess it’s possible if you’re totally dialed in, but a lot of it is just nonsense, especially if you’re a new(er) grower. Don’t stress, plants take time. They’ll beef up.
Look at trichomes! It doesn't matter if they say it's 9 or 10 weeks. The plant will let you know when it is ready to be harvested. Remember clear trichomes The bud are not fully ripen, milky trichomes THC is at its peak and amber tricolmes. The THC is starting to degrade but the CBD and CBN starts going up. Take a jewelers loop or a microscope and take a look all over the buds. Top to bottom. In my opinion I would say 30 to 70%. Amber trichomes is going to be good. But if you just want that head high, I would say when 70 to 90% of all trichomes have turned milky then that's when you would want to harvest.
