Yeah, I'd agree it may have another week or two to go, but he says putting it back in light isn't an option for him.That flower has a couple weeks to go in my opinion. When the white pistils mostly turn dark and die back then check trichomes.
MiMedGrower is right. You've got to wait until the pistils recede then check your trichs.
Leaving the plant on the stalk in the dirt to dry? Bad move. You are prone to rot, degraded thc, bad smoke. The only fast cure that I've used that works is with dry ice but I was smashing for rosin for a buddy with road rash and a banged up Hog lol. But I'm a patient old man who enjoys growing WAAAAAY too much and usually won't touch something that hasn't been in a jar for at least 60 days.
Yep yep. It's easy to sit on my high horse when there are gallon jugs cured laying around :))))I think once we grow a while and have plenty of weed we become more patient and experienced and keep plants healthier and flower them to a true finish so they are as potent and complex as possible.
If you let it die on the stalk, the plant will have moved too far, IMO. Take a bud off, dry for a few days, throw it in a vaporizer. Taste won't be great, but the high will tell you a lot. Sell some bud, buy a 30x loupe or so. Problem solved for next time.Yeah, all of that is fine but my dilemma here is whether to chop it and hang-dry it whole or let it die on the stalk and hang dry it afterwards. Which method yields better results in terms of maximizing the terpenes and trichome production, or other benefits or downsides for either of them.
As far as when to harvest it, I'm trying to follow all those general guidelines but I will have to rely mostly on the pistils, because judging by the pictures I posted there still are quite a few them that are white, as far as my phone camera could zoom I was able to notice some amber trichomes on the sugar leaves but not on the buds quite yet. Keep in mind that it's now entering week 11 since it's been flipped to flower.
That's what's leading me to think that maybe letting it die and dry and on the stalk could possible enable it to ripen as much as possible, because either way I cannot get it back in the grow room to get more light exposure, my only option right now is to figure out when and how to harvest it, not whether it's actually ready or not.
