Should I cut now to save buds

[Green Aid G.L.]

Hi this is my first grow and I'm about 6 weeks into flower they are nice fat buds on them but the problem is my leaves are almost all dead should I harvest now I have mostly milky triks

i'd still wait, you'd be surprised, they will probably still grow a bit and mature some, even with the shape the plant is in..

No don't harvest yet this is normal. Let it go about 2-3 more weeks. At this point I just give the little crispys a small tug.

There seems enough viable foiliage to keep going, which is a good thing, because they're nowhere near ready

i wouldn't say the shape those plants are in is normal, no offense to the op of course, but i still agree, i'd wait it out.. nothing worse than premie bud ime..

Nice work bub! Those gals look good. I'd plan on harvesting based on Trichomes, if they are mostly cloudy, thats really good. Just watch them till they start to go amber, 15% amber = time to cut!

Thanks I'm still learning so any advice would help me I'll do better at keeping them heather the next time around

Lol, no your right. They look like they missed some scheduled waters in their time.
There are a lot of little crispy leaves that should still be green at this point.

I think you did pretty well for your first time. Nothing beats your own smoke!

 

[Green Aid G.L.]

That's what I was thinking it should be more green leaves than that but I been given it ff big bloom since they started and the soil is ff

yeah, i'm not knocking the grow, the buds look nice, it's going to be some nice smoke by the looks of things..

I cut light time back to speed up ripen the lights are on only 11 hrs now will this help?

 

[cat of curiosity]

i replied to your other thread.

Is that all you have been giving them? The big bloom alone does not have enough nutes to really feed a hungry girl. FF sells a trio that is known to work wonders in conjunction.

 

[Green Aid G.L.]

Yes that's all I was given them ima get the trio next grow

 

[Green Aid G.L.]

Also will it hurt my Buds if the leaves coming out of them are dieing too?

 

[Maine Buds]

If all you were giving they was the bloom then I would say they probably could have used cal mag and you can start to put that in as well if you want but it will only stop what happening till they are ready but I agree they look really well for your first grow. You should have seen my first grow epic fail! Lol

 

[Green Aid G.L.]

Ok thanks I will try that

 

[Green Aid G.L.]

Can someone help me understand this

 

[Maine Buds]

It's to simulate the real sun. Cutting back the light slowly from 12 hrs is said help the plant finish faster cause they think their time is coming to an end so they hurry up and ripen so that the off spring( seeds) will mature in time to drop to the ground before winter falls. I have not tried it but I know some people who put there girls in 3 days of darkness before harvest. To each his own. I personally would only do this would a finicky plant that didn't want to finish.
