Here’s my Greenpoint harvest of Texas Chem. I grew regs and had three females out of eight?
One taste super gold from the skunk and has some OG Chem taste. The other is less gold taste
and more OG Chem. One harvests in 12.5 weeks and the other was 9. Both grew tall but no stretch
in flower cycle. You should have let them finish!
I know it looks that way.Those were not even close to being ready to harvest ^^
They look about half way through flower.
It doesn't look that way, it is that way.... but you do whatever makes you happy.I know it looks that way.
I have always harvested kind of late because of pistils being white still.
My hash was usually too dark.
I wanted to try and harvest on the early side this time.
There were amber resin, probably 20%.

Dude, a plant is never 'ready' halfway through flower.... if your plant has amber trichomes halfway through flower something's not right....Search “white pistils” on.this thread, or “new pistils”.
Many Greenpoint have been known to make new white pistils even when the trichs are going more and more amber.
Trichs are what count, I like mostly cloudy trichs to be 80% or more. Amber at less than 20%. I simply don’t care about white pistils.
We are growing THC which is made in the trichs. We are not specifically growing pistils.
I grew four Texas Chems. Took them to 11-12 weeks. Was like 2 years ago but all except one kept throwing new pistols or most weren’t turning red or orange. Decided to harvest due to trichs. Was some awesome smoke. Lime soda, og flavor with skunky earthy nose.Dude, a plant is never 'ready' halfway through flower.... if your plant has amber trichomes halfway through flower something's not right....
Ultimately, i could care less, and you should do whatever makes you happy.... i'm just telling you- when a plant is half way through flower, which i CAN TELL just by looking at them, it is not an optimum time to be harvesting, whatever colour trichomes you want.
But you do you.
Yes, some plants can indeed seem to throw out new pistils beyond the optimum harvest window, but those plants on the previous post were still taken much too early.... especially the first picture of the two.I grew four Texas Chems.

Dude just let it go. If someone chopped down their plants early so what? If he smoked whatever he got out of it at the end of the day and it made him happy, isn't that what it's all about? Maybe you could argue (and I would agree with you) that yes it's better to let plants fatten up well beyond their fourth of fifth week in flower or whatever it takes. I've had plants that were ready at 7 weeks, others, I had to chop down at 14 weeks and it was still too early because it was some exotic sativa. My point is that all of this back and forth of "you chopped your plants way too early" and "no they were ready because there were enough amber trichomes already" is futile.Yes, some plants can indeed seem to throw out new pistils beyond the optimum harvest window, but those plants on the previous post were still taken much too early.... especially the first picture of the two.
It is basically all white pistils.... it hasn't even fattened up at all.
You may be correct that it's futile but i'm not trying to ruffle feathers or criticize, but i was the one to bring the subject up, so if that was taken the wrong way- sorry....Dude just let it go.

I've noticed a lot of growers on this forum who pride themselves at growing amazing plants. They pride themselves on having a high degree of skill at all aspects of growing, and having their grow room perfectly "dialed in" - and that's great. But we all make mistakes, and mistakes can be made at each and every step of the process. I've had plants that I let grow to perfection, and then I messed up the cure and had buds that smelled like a moldy basement. Oh well .... life goes on.

I agree I saw the pic you mentioned and they look like bud that got chopped week 4, week 5 max. Oh wellBut i still stick to my point that those flowers weren't just pushing out late pistils.... the flowers was just halfway through their 'explosion'.
Harevst them whenever you want.
Hey , to help clarify the plant was chopped at 12.5 weeks. It was a real slow bloomer. I thought about letting it goI agree I saw the pic you mentioned and they look like bud that got chopped week 4, week 5 max. Oh well

Guawi around 18 weeks.
I have only grown one other Greenpoint variety “Orange Blossom Special”. I had one female out of three. It smelled like garlic
in veg phase. I tried to transplant it and ripped the taproot. It ended up dying I had it growing for three months, so my loss.
I have Banana Punch and Catalina in veg at the moment. I figure another month of veg and they will be good to go.
