1. How much longer until cut ?
2. Should I be flushing just straight 6.5 ph water for these last weeks instead of feed ?
3. Any tips you can give for the next couple weeks whether it’s the harvesting/trimming/drying/curing.


I appreciate anyone taking the time out to help , thank you very much.

The only true way to know is to get a jewlers loupe and look at the trichomes on the buds, not the sugar leafs!
To find when you have mostly cloudy with some amber, the more amber the more sleepy it will be. Don't go too far because the cloudy is your thc/cbd.
From just looking at them and guessing I think you are close. A week or 2 maybe.
I don't use nutes but I would say last week or 2 as h20 only should be good. It will force the fade along by making them eat their leaves up. Producing smoother smoke.
Overall I think you have done a great job, nice fade, beautiful buds, really really pretty bud.
I would push the humidity down to 40% if possible and make sure you have good air flow.
As far as drying I personally aim for 60/60 but the first couple days I leave it at 50% then increase it to 60% on the third day.
I let them dry until the inside of the stem breaks But not the outside! at that point if you lost moisture in your stems it's bad. Make sure you burp the Jars daily until they are stable. Anywhere from 58% to 62% is ideal. 58% is more crumbly and 62% is more sticky.
I hope this helps, it's not gospel it's just what I do so if other people jump in consider their input as well.

Sorry if there are typos, im on my phone and have big hands. Looking great, keep us updated, I'm following this thread now. ✌

There's no better way than to look at the trichomes on the buds with a jeweler's loupe. I don't always choose the better way and we like a late harvest, so I watch for the pistils at the very top to change color. There's no precise time, though. I had to harvest a plant late in flower to learn we would like it.

I don't flush. I just use plain water for the last month or so to let the plant use up whatever nutrients are left in the soil.

Dry in the dark. Try to keep the temperature new 60º and the humidity near 60%.
We trim after drying and before curing.
Cure in the dark. I use Grove bags for curing, but there are other good options.

you guys are too kind for my incompetence in this process. Thank you.

I just took the best magnified pictures I could, my issue is I have shaky hands and nothing high enough to be stable for this .

I hope I got enough of the right spot in these.

From the amber I see I would give them about a week to fatten up more and chop them. I wouldn't go much longer though, tough to see for sure but I think i see a good amount of amber. That's my 2 cents
