These ready to harvest?

[DezmondG]

Well Day 63 in flower. I think getting close. I have mostly milky trichs but no amber yet (at least that I can see), took some pics just at lights out. Been a crazy first grow with lots of mistakes and learning but honestly I think I am still going to have a decent harvest.
Wondering what you all think about these?
thanks again ;)

Keep reading the trics, they will tell you when to harvest. Personally as soon as I see amber, I flush the plants for a couple days straight and then starve them for a week and then harvest. This technique is for outdoor growing, I see you are indoors.
Good luck.

Thanks. I will keep an eye on them.

Color and fade looking good, you’re certainly close by those yardsticks...

How long have you been flushing?

 

[DezmondG]

Only a week or little bit more. Just gave them more water this morning, when lights go out tonight, I plan to leave them off till Tuesday Morning I think and that is when I will chop them down.

Do it. A job well done. How do you plan on drying and curing?

That I have no idea yet Burnz. I read you can cut whole plant and hang, cut branches and hang, cut, trim, and throw in those screen hangy things and dry. Was thinking of trimming some of the bigger leaves off then cutting and hanging when or plant upside down in the tent? When dry, trim and jar? Maybe? I dunno. I know to make sure I have in direct air flow in there and cooler and 40-50% RH right? This is my first time so I am winging it :)

 

[BurnzYzBudZz]

Yeah so airflow but not directly on the buds. I chopped larger fan leaves and hung dry for 5 day’s 60 degree/ 60%rh. Then I cut some and trimmed and put into mesh net dryer while the others still Hung dried for another 9 days. So total 15 days drying in 60-65 degrees/ 50-60%rh. Now they are curing in jars 70 degrees 45-50%rh. Very satisfied.

That’s awesome. Ya I have been following your thread as well. This sure has been an educational experience for me. Biggest thing I learned (by mistake) is how I waaaaaay underfed my plants. I picked up a meter near the end and couldn’t believe I was only feeding them around 300ppm was of nutes. I know better for next time ;)

Your overall structure and color is great bro. You did an outstanding job. Just remember more is not always better when it comes to nutrients.

Woot woot! Checked them this morning and finally see some amber trichs! So now I must decide..... cut now or wait till lights go out tonight at 9 and then leave for 24 hours in dark and then cut?

Nar cut through the day less moisture.ive alway cut mine in the extreme of the day outside.a little different to indoors but you would notice that humidity spikes when room cools etc.just my opinion bro..i pull most my leaves off on the plant then cut in lengths of 1ft or 2 then just trim them up good and hang them..

 

[DezmondG]

Well all chopped, semi trimmed, washed and hung to dry. Wow that was a long day. Started in the morning and ended around 9:00 last night. Left them out with a fan on them for about an hour after washing to get most of the water off then put them in the tent to dry. Temp around 21-24 and humidity is between 55 & 60. Best I can do to keep these numbers where they are. Hope that’s ok. And also have 2 fans at the bottom of the tent circulating air with the scrubber on at the top.
