Harvested Today

[MadDog607]

Hello. I harvested today. This is my first grow and i have learned so much so far. I chopped her and hung her upside down in a room at 73F and 63% humidity. Is this good or do i need to adjust temp and humidity? How long do i need to cure her for? Here are some pics:

Looks like you pulled it very early, still lots of white hairs.

also if you use the search function on the site there are loads of drying and curing guides already on the forum

Agreed, looks like you chopped it a touch too soon.

Oh man, but yea. 3-4 more weeks of Swelling on that lady. Your drying conditions are good.

Shitty. I could swear the trichomes were cloudy enough to warrant a harvest. She will still come out okay potency wise?

Only time will tell. It is what it is at this point. You definitely won't be experiencing any couchlock.

It should still be a good smoke.

Myself, i stick my middle finger up to trichome colours. Not really needed imo. I chop when the whole plant tells me it's done, not just because the trichomes are cloudy. There is more to cannabis than a trichome.

More to cannabis than a trichome? LOL, that doesn't deserve a comment. Yes, you go by trichomes, not hairs, some strains will have white hairs (never turning color), but you can't go wrong watching your trichomes, they will tell you all that you need to know.

True...but I couldnt find the pics of the "done" and "not done" buds lol, think they were in one of UB`s threads somewhere

I have always harvested my cannabis when it looks done as a whole. And it has always proven to be a fantastic smoke. I did as most are advised, and bought a scope, i used it a few times, and then i just stopped bothering. I found no need for it. and i stand by my opinion that there is more to a cannabis plant being ready for harvest than the colour of a trichome. Sorry.

Most of my trichomes looked cloudy. Not too many were amber if any. However almost all were cloudy. The hairs are turning orange as it is drying though. Is this normal? How do I know when it is ready to put into mason jars for curing?

 

[MadDog607]

Thanks for the diagram. my trichomes looked way more cloudy than the ones in the pic.

 

[WHODAT@THADOR]

What strain is that Btw? Or am I missing it somewhere

 

[redbeard420]

I agree. Knowing the strain may help. If its a sativa it will probably be pretty heady.
