No sure way to tell, she will tell you when she is ready.
It's not something I'm familiar with. And even so, if it's true, fuck 'em. You have to let the plant go for a REALLY long time after prime harvest period to actually lose bud. Like weeks after harvest, weeks and weeks.I read somewhere today that "two weeks" is a joke that vets tell newbies for asking when to chop their weed. So id like to ask straight up if yall are messing with me, id appreciate a straight answer
Reading this disheartened me a great deal, if its the truth i dont think i belong amongst the farm goers @Seamaiden

Neither have I seen anyone here, especially our best veteran growers, giving that kind of advice. They may give advice I don't necessarily agree with, but I fully believe they are giving it from the heart and head and with the best of intentions.
just remember you are growing for you and your style. take the basics and run. always make the call your call in the end.I appreciate that. And to be clear, i didnt read it on the farm. When i read it, it sparked a memory of you saying "another two weeks" to someome recently on your "how to tell when to harvest" thread and i guess thats all it took for suspicion to rise. So i thought id just ask. It seemed really uncharacteristic for you, your always helping ANYONE who asks out of a tight situation, plus you and i have shared some fun, funny and informative conversations over the past few months...so i was like...really? You can imagine my confusion. Im glad you said what you did, and were able to shed some light.
I, like any other human, have issues here and there. I guess one of mine is always feeling like i dont fit in. So it was easy to tell myself i was being dicked around. I apologize if my question came off mean, or suggestive towards you or this forum at all. I got nothing but respect for you guys, and i feel lucky to have a place where i fit, trying my best not to screw it up lol. Thanks for the honesty, and sorry for the accusations, as they were.

At least I'm not the only one who doesn't feel like they fit in xD. Sometimes I feel like a leper around here lol; but that's prolly a lot in my head.I appreciate that.

It looks good. That said I only read the first page of this.
You said you seem to want to try everything everyone suggests so just take this for what it's worth.
If you were going to use co2 you would want it in the flower room, using it during veg will speed things up, but it can be costly. I used to use it the whole run, but now I just use it for the first 3/4 of flowering, I also start it about 10 days before the flip. But the flower room you said is the one you have vented.
I've never seen anyone measure it, so I don't know if the co2 setup you have is worth the effort. My guess would be it's not making a significant difference. (Is that what I'm looking at? Or is that a meth lab?) For rooms that size, to be effective, you need an abundance of light, & a tank/regulator setup in my opinion.
Co2 will increase your temps too, so it's really environment dependent. If your temps already run too hot, co2 will make it worse. If you are too cold it will incrtaboutut if i recall correctly, it's not making the best use of the co2. It increases yields, at least for me, however I find that if you don't come off of it the last few weeks the taste/smell can suffer a little. Visually, it looks more potent to me if you run it the whole way through, but ime, it will alter the terpenes, especially if you are running too hot.
I would scrog what you have going on the first page, but if you have a separate veg/flower space you obviously need to get the scrog setup in the flower space...unless you have a way of moving all the plants & the scrog as a unit.
Personally, I hate scrogging, it works well, it's just a pain to work around in my opinion. That said, I still end up using it often enough.
Neither have I. I've read that you have a 2 week window from where your harvest where it is at it's peak. I agree with that theory. It's probably @ 2 weeks where you could pull it & it will be at its best. But if you pull it early, (mostly clear) it's pretty much a waste. I just pulled my test plant early (intentionally) just to see if this one was any different...it's not. If you pull it early, it's just North of useless.
But you can pull it late, & provided it's good bud grown well, it will still be effective, but pretty sedating ime.
So the two week window is probably ideal. But speaking practically, once the two weeks has gone, by the potency decreases slowly enough that if you missed the exit you'll be fine.
If you pull it early, you wasted all those resources because even fantastic bud will be terrible.
If you pull it late (within reason) you will still have a usable product.
In my opinion, it's nothing to worry about. Just get a scope of some kind, you already read Seamaiden's thread...couple those things & it's pretty hard to mess up.
theres a lil more to it than just cure..it can be taken to early and you will never shake that hay smell. your method of drying plays a factor also. but normally hay smell comes when the plant isn't grown out all the way. omo thoAny bud is gonna taste like hay if you dont cure it right. The trick is to get it in the jar at the right time and you need a small hygrometer to measure the rh in the jar.

yes to fast is no buenoIs it true that drying too fast will cause this hay smell as well? I have a humidifier in my drying space. Venting ac air directly in there so RH stays about 50 55. But i cant seem to keep temps below 70 during the day. Also, i plan on following some advice i read and watering the night before chop, chop at lights on in the morning. Supposedly the slower you dry the better the smoke will come out. I plan to jar soon as the branches snap not bend. Store in a cool dark place and burp twice a day for a month, maybe two.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to do this better? Cause as of now its my plan
your plan sounds good to me.. if your not confortable with the temp. get a small fan on low just to keep the air from getting staleIs it true that drying too fast will cause this hay smell as well?

My man i would never steer you in the wrong direction, i only want to help any and everybody who wants to learn how to grow good clean meds. Being patient and letting the plants fully ripen is one of the hardest things for a new grower in my opinion, be patient your doing great ,your miles ahead of where i was on my 1st indoor grow. I want you to have the absolute Best cannabis in your area, i want you to continue growing 4ever, and ive personally put my hand out to you immediately directed to a thread where you can get answers from many talented guys & girls with different styles. Please trust we we're all new growers and i agree that some sites and also some growers here can be dicks at times and give worthless info but really not common here because of some good mods, so "your so money and you dnt even know it" keep doing great what day you on?I appreciate that. And to be clear, i didnt read it on the farm.
