I need a little advice

[Newbie44]

Does this look ready to harvest? I’m leaving town in a month for 3 weeks and I need to get this cut, dried and curing before then. It’s 24 weeks old. Thought it was auto but had to put it on 12/12 to spark the flowering. Been in flower for about 4 weeks. Any advice would be helpful

Sorry but more than likely you won't finish in the next 4 weeks.

Definitely needs more time.

It's nowhere near ready. If you harvest before you leave, don't worry about curing. This will be a meager harvest of a substandard product and curing won't help. Curing is like icing a cake. If you have a lump of uncooked dough, icing doesn't help.

Do you intend to take some of this weed with you? If so, chop it about a week before you go to get the most out of it. If not, chop it the day you leave and return home to dried weed.

Not taking any with me. Just don’t want to leave it without water for that long. Bad timing

As of today.

Do I see a little amber in these trichomes?

Yes, but those are on leaves and they don't count. You want to see trichs on calyxes.

You have too many white stigmas to bother checking trichs yet. You can see a few are starting to turn red in that first pic. When all or nearly all are red, start looking, but don't expect any for another week or more.

Is this in soil? You might consider getting some Blumats with whatever necessary tubing is involved. All you'd need is a large, plastic storage container for water, elevated above the level of the pots.

It is in ffof.

And I have an irrigation system in place now. I’m hoping it won’t get too ready before I get back. Im not looking to have a harvest that glues me to the couch. Looking for the opposite.

Buds aren’t filling in. What are you feeding and what kinda light.

It's only been in flower 4 weeks.

I would wager ten to fourteen more days, and those plants look very nice for a newbie
