when would you harvest these?

[wheresitat]

First grow from bagseed, made every n00b mistake possible. And am probably just being impatient.
Patience has never been a virtue of mine..character flaw.


Looking for as close to a uppity/mental head high as I can get, seeing as the bowl essentially never leaves my side...aka I smoke..A LOT. lol
I know its got a lot to do with the genetics that I initially started with...but seeing as Im working from unlabled bag seed...

These 2 ladies are mother and daughter- and if memory (between my guy and I), and extensive google searches are serving me correctly, is JtR...
HOWEVER...
I'm only on day 49 of 12/12 (they vegged at 18/6 for 60 days)....
does an uber long veg mean that the plant was more mature going into flower to start, in turn making the actual FLOWERING time shorter?
Or no not at all Im just trying to justify an early harvest? lol

Im thinking of putting the daughter (george cloney.....dun dun dun CHHHH BAZINGA! hahah) into 24 hours of dark tonight and then chopping (Side Note- I flushed her about Cant do anything like that for Teeny (Georges mom), since she's potted with one that is not as mature. (The other possible seed was bubba kush, which ive read can take up to 10 weeks.) So either way, it'll make for an interesting experiment with the extended dark and if it makes a lick of difference or not.
So here they are - let me know what you think.
Keeping in mind were going for a- uppity type high and b- george will be receiving 24hrs of darkness prior to any chopping taking place.

w-w-w-what would you, w-w-w-what would you, w-w-what would YOU do?
(any one who spent time in the 90's watching Nickelodeon should appreciate that reference)

  Wait, do not harvest... there is no justification... Your bud will be smaller.... so less of a hi...
  Harvest time has nothing to do with what kind of hi, that's a stoner myth 'Parroted' over and over...
  Wait for your plant to quit popping out white hairs...
  Then wait for all the hairs to recede...
  Then check for Tric's... first sign of amber harvest...
  Try to wait it out...​

If you started beginning of Sept. (like me) you are pissing your pants right now, but give it more time, you will not be sorry.

 

[wheresitat]

wwrockyou - SURE, just put me and my incontinence problem on blast, lol That was supposed to stay between you and I...GOSH.

I did start early september, lol. the earliest dated picture I have of them is from 9/10 and they were probably....5 days in, give or take. Would you wait on putting George into extend-a-dark? I do see yellowish/amber trichs on her, and since Im going for the head high, I feel like putting her in 24 hours (taking into consideration, of course, all the speculation on if it makes a difference) will put her exactly where I want her. ...ok maybe not EXACTLY, because that would be dried cured and on its way to my lungs lol

 

[wwrockyou]

yes, go for it, for head high.

 

[Sand4x105]

Dude....

• and since Im going for the head high,​

• 
  
  Stop this misinformation...
  
  The "Type of High" is not determined by the color of the Trichomes .... Amber means DEGRADED
  Degraded does not get you high...
  
  If the color of Trichomes determined what kind of high, you could go to any "Pot" store, and ask for some 40% Amber Tric's...
  That is not what happens...
  Go ahead go to any MJ store and ask for some Amber Trichome MJ....
  They will laugh you out of the store...
  Amber Tric's do not give you "Couch Lock"
  Just stop it...
  Please​
  
  
  
  

 

[guest34]

stuff wont even get you high, unless your talking about a headache ....wait ...wait...wait..wait..



blue dream day 58... see the diff in your bud and this one...

 

[kinddiesel]

harvest early bad. harvest to late bad harvest just right good.

 

[cues]

What about the plants that throw out a few ambers while the rest are still clear?

What about the plants that throw out a few ambers while the rest are still clear?

Most likely when this happens the bud was burnt or suffered some kind of trauma or heat stress, excessive touching and checking...
If most of your Trics are clear, you will have weeks to wait...
Trics aren't the only way to tell, just the final way....

Bud stops making white hairs.... [2-3 weeks left]
White hairs recede back into bud...[1-2 weeks]
Buds plump up.... [1 week -harvest window opens...]
No Amber Tric's yet still 15% Clear --80% + White/cloudy [soon]
First sign of Amber Tric's ...5% clear...cloudy/white 90% [Harvest now]
Amber Tric's up to 15 %.... 85 % Cloudy/milky 2-3 % clear...[DO not wait harvest now]
Amber past 20% your plant is dust and too dry....You waited too long....

It's not rocket science....

harvest early bad. harvest to late bad harvest just right good.

When Goldie Locks would harvest is about a time frame opening up and staying open, to the exact correct time...
Goldie Locks would not harvest with any amber trics showing... The day before amber trics show up... she harvested...

You just explained a lot. I changed strain at the same time time as I moved/changed my grow situation from a normal 4x4 600 flat scrog to an intensive limited space 250w u-scrog micro-grow and assumed that the early ambers were due to the strain change. In that grow I actually managed to bleach some of the buds pure white but I don't think it was temperature (6"RVK, cool inlet from outside, temps closely monitored by wireless weather station probe with recording) but pure light intensity.
