Do the once bright white hairs look brown and shriveled up now? . Checking Trichomes is never a bad idea. If you see tons of ambers you’re done. But most important is the brown hairs . Checking for amber Trichomes is not easy. I have find you have to take many samples
From different leaves at different locations to get an overall idea.
The Harris are not all shriveled just yet. I took about a dozen samples and there's not many amber but some. I'd say 5% but about 90% milky. Maybe 50% of the hairs are shriveled and receded .

If it’s cow corn the tassels will be browning and receding, pull down the surrounding leaves covering the corn cobs and look at the kernels.
When the kernels look swollen and indented like your molars, expect the farmer to harvest shortly, especially just before a pending rain storm or just after it with clearing weather…If you snooze on this, all you find is leftover stalks after they run the harvester through !
Up in New England that process has been going on for at least a week or two.
Good luck!

Thankfully I know the farmer and am informed when they harvest. They do this field last but this corn is more then ready that's for sure. There's a few fields around here that's getting the chop but mostly soybeans. I do not plan on letting a combine eat em lol but man

A nice storm came through and did exactly what I thought it was. Snapped some branches. Hell even snapped some stakes too. I had to harvest the broken ones. I'll wait for the rest. My dry room is getting pretty packed. I just took off the fan leaves and gave them all a good rinse. There was plenty of dirty on the fallen branches.

Nice,
pic 22,
Years back, I had a skunk # 1 similar to those leaves except half the plant was green and the other half was blonde…looked liked cruella de Vill’s hair doo!!
I pollinated it and got seed…the seeds popped up golden after sprouting, but never got larger.
I’m guessing because it couldn’t produce chlorophyll.

This looks like it was fun while it lasted. Never grown outdoors. How far does the smell travel with a few plants?

Depends on a few things. The strain especially.
Some days I can smell them from over 100 feet. Other days 20. I'd say though to expect a good 75 or so on average for just a few plants.
But if the wind is right and the girls are pumping put terpenes I could smell them from 150 or 200.

Officially all harvested. I'm definitely at my limit for a 1 person operation and having a career. Not looking forward to trimming, but I sure do have a hell of a harvest on my hands here. My video of the dry room won't load for some readon

I ended up having idk 4 lbs of trim I'd say. I had a few 5 gallon bucks of it. I pulled the trigger on a dabpress dry sift tumbler (should have got the bigger 500 gram version). Then a manual brick press from rositek.
I ended up with 8.5 ounces so far. I'm still sifting the blueberry cheese and keeping it separate. I pressed my first brick today. This is a 2 ounce brick. I'm going to do 3 next time and take the heat down. I think it wasn't necessary to heat it up to 150. I'm willing to bet the pressure alone will be fine.
Super excited about this. First time not doing bubble hash and it's so much easier and less time consuming. If you haven't done it I would give it a try. Even just cheap 160, 120 microns shake screens
and making a temple ball

Last one. Ive got this press down. My sift is pure enough where heat isn't necessary at all. Do not press as hard as you can either cause my first brick was so hard cutting off a sliver with a razor was like trying to cut through soft wood lol.
Just like a oil filter. Get it "finger tight" for lack of better term then one more turn or soin love with this process guys. It's amazing.
