i think the high came out decent, i smoked some of the kinda dryer stuff and its a different high than the commercial i am used to but its nice, im proud i grew the shit organically and i know what went into it also is a plusThere is good info on there. You check the trichome heads and you can do that on the side of the buds on the sugar leaves (the smaller leaves that connect to the calyxs). Harvest time is based on personal preference. So it’s up to you.
You can also do a partial harvest and let the rest go longer. Chop a few buds early, let em dry out, a few more buds a few days or week after that and then again another week or so later and judge for yourself.
Eventually you’ll get a good feeling for when you prefer to harvest. Everyone likes things a little differently. I myself like to chop when some heads are still clear, most are cloudy and a few are turning amber. This gives me peak potency. However if you want to take the edge off a racy soaring high you can let them go longer. If you want to reduce the sleepiness of an indica strain you can chop a little earlier.
The choice is yours and very few people will notice much of a difference as they probably don’t have as much time and thought into the subject. Only seasoned growers with lots of experience with a particular strain would ever know one way or the other.
If everyone trials and error like we do brother ......the world would be a diff place!i think the high came out decent, i smoked some of the kinda dryer stuff and its a different high than the commercial i am used to but its nice, im proud i grew the shit organically and i know what went into it also is a plus
i will definitely be more prepared for my next plants, i think i let the buds dry too much, i have them all in paper bags inside a bigger paper bag now, i definitely kinda know what i messed up on.If everyone trials and error like we do brother ......the world would be a diff place!
A lot of the trichomes still look clear, it probably could have went another week or two but if it smokes okay then it doesn’t really matter. It’s hard to tell from your pictures where the calyxes are.
Depending on the strain, I’ll see a lot of amber, clear and cloudy on the calyx all at same time so when it’s confusing like that, I’ll cut a small 1-2 gram sample (usually just snip a top cola) and cut it up smaller so it dries faster to use as a tester. Other times it’s very easy to determine harvest.
Hey and good morning! I stumbled upon doubling the potency of my buds by maintaining humidity in the jar with things like boveda packs........55 days in ajar and I didn't wanna let anymore go! Lmao!
I don’t go through that much effort to dry and cure. I slow dry for about one week by cutting the main stem and hanging the whole plant upside down. In my grow space the temp is naturally in the low 70s with about 40-50% humidity. Once the buds snap off from the branch (after about 7-10 days) it’s good to go into your curing jars.
There are all kinds of ways to dry and cure, find what works for you and stick with it.
