Berry Ryder - DAY 60 - Ready for Harvest??

[diystealthgrower]

Hey all,
I'm at day #62 with growing several auto strains but really got questions on when to harvest the Berry Ryder. Supposed to be ready in 60-65 days. Should I wait until I see more bigger amber color trichomes and harvest when seed co. says to - or wait longer??

Also, should I flush before harvest? I started to flush two days ago but not sure it was quite ready for it. I run aeroponic set up so any advice would be much appreciated.

Got plenty of pics to look at. The first 5 pics are BERRY RYDER and few others (Vertigo, Caboose and Afgooey but you can't really see those in pics)

The close ups are of BERRY RYDER

The last pic is Berry Ryder and Auto SKUNK #1 growing in another tent to make SEEDS. I've already got mass balls on the branches I reversed with Colloidal Silver. Plants ready to be isolated to make pure auto fem seeds of each.


The last

I would say no... trichs look milky, cliudy and clear. Wait until week 8 or so if no microscope. I would push to 9 weeks if it was me... nice buds man! hope it helps...

 

[ColoradoDreams]

60-65 days are average. If the package says that amount of days, its usually false.

two more weeks:give or take. nice

 

[diystealthgrower]

Thanks Colorado Dreams and Po Boy. I will follow your advice. Should I start max flowering/bloom nutes back again??

 

[ColoradoDreams]

Maybe a small dosage once or twice, but I persnally wouldnt... I would use phd water thats it.. flush for the last 2 weeks if desired...

that berry ryder has a ways to go.. 3-5wks if you want to get max yield.. that thing will swell up almost double.. i think i harvested four times off one of those.. they are nice plants to grow out... when it gets to the point you think this has to be ready; there's no way... wait another wk

 

[diystealthgrower]

BostonGardenahh, thanks bunch ya'll.

I will let it ride for another week or so. I put nutes back in at 1/2 strength.

Like you said, they are still continuing to put on growth and swelling up nice and fat. Thanks again for the replys!!

I'll post final pics at harvest.

These gals are using up water/nutes like crazy so I've decided to flush everything for the last week or two as needed. Post pics tomorrow.

What you guys and gals think? Are they ready to be chopped? Been flushing for three days now with Clearex then straight PH'd water??

chopping before 10 - 12 weeks is a waste you are cutting your yields almost in half by doing so

10 weeks is cutting it close
12 is more like it

OK, AS THOUGH AS IT IS I WILL KEEP WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. EVERY TIME I SEE EM MY MOUTH STARTS WATERING I JUST WANT TO SMOKE THEM SO BAD.

its your call brother
anything past 8 weeks will get you high
and if thats what you need to hold you over until the others are done dont let me stop you
ive cut myself short more times then i want to count by going by breeder times
its just marketing BS

I hear yeah. Think I should start nutes again? I've been flushing with just plain R/O water?
I got plenty of other smoke just want to get max THC out of my plants. So no need to chop early.
I been looking at trichomes under microscope still mostly cloudy very few amber's.

 

[tekdc911]

na no need for the nutes honestly
maybe a bloom booster for a couple feeds but other then that they look healthy enough to make it another week or two

 

[diystealthgrower]

I've been using the 600W Hortilux BLUE bulb. Company says bulb good all way through flowering but thinking I should go get 600W HPS. Maybe that would help bring out the best. I got 1000W HPS but just gets too damn hot in tent.

 

[tekdc911]

60 days is 8 weeks so just let them run their course know what i mean

 

[tekdc911]

i run HPS from seed
and i get some decent pulls

 

[diystealthgrower]

normally i would run HPS too but I got both autos and photo's running in same tent so my thinking was I could run 18/6 hours light and veg the photoperiods (afgooey and caboose) while at same time flower the auto's...(berry ryder, easy ryder and vertigo) works ok but not great (obviously). really appreciate the input.
