Harvesting early ...Dark clouds on the horizon.

So its been cooling down lately and looks like rain is on the way next week. The plants already survived one good rain storm 4 days ago and not wanting to push my luck with the next one on the way. So looks like its chop time for me. Ive always followed my gut instinct when it comes to this subject and its seldom led me wrong. Very disappointing to have to do this. They have been flushing for 4 days now with 0-ppm R/O water with a couple days of rainwater on the early end of the flush. Slight fade on the leaves going on. I might be making hash out of most of the plants if the smoke is harsh. Thoughts and opinions on harvesting outdoor a tad early?? My minds pretty much made up but I think that its an interesting subject to hear what everyone else would do in this situation. Buds are fully formed and dense for the most part. I haven't scoped the trichomes yet.. Probably going to do that this morning and get an idea of how far out I really am. I figure I got 7-10 more days until full maturity. Anyways.. Ill try and post some pictures later on here.

I'm waiting it out
I have an indoor grow and I am not willing to harvest weed that isn't finished
Mine look great but it is still a few weeks early to pull until I see frost, I am letting the ladies grow

Definitely, If I'm doing indoor then Im going to do all I can to make sure they are fully matured before the chop. I don't like harvesting early. Its kind of depressing to do so after you've put so much work into getting to this point. But with outdoor I have to weigh my options.

That is what I'm saying I'm in Mid-Michigan and My outdoor may need to go till November and no one can predict the outcome till then

yeah theres no way mine will last until november without molding. The buds are already dense.. and surprised they've lasted this long. Air circulation is definitely key, but I think it also has something to do with the genetics of this Gorilla Glue I'm currently growing. What strains are you growing?

yeah most definitely. When you see how far along they are I don't think you will blame me too much. For some reason my plants are much further along than most of the others i know of in my area. Ill post pictures tomorrow if I'm not too busy.

The first time I said that... I was loaded with seeded weed...good luck

Not worried about seeds. Worst comes to worst most of it is going to be made into hash. But Im experienced enough to know that a good percentage of it will be kept as flower. Appreciate the wish of luck brother. Same goes to everyone else riding these storms out. Really do hope it all works out for everyone and we are able to enjoy the fruits of our labor :bigjoint::peace::peace:
