Time to harvest

[crazykoolaid]

I have a plant that has been flowering for a lil over two months now there are millions of white hairs on it and some of them have turnned brown not a lot but some. Should I pic it now? and what is the best way should i pull the whole plant and hang it or just clip. I heard you get more thc if you pull the whole plant

do you have any pics of the plant? what strain? some plants finish in 7-8 weeks, others can take up to 14

Pictures are necessary for this kind of thread. From your description though, it seems like you need to wait a couple more weeks. The hairs should mostly all have turned brown and receded back into the calyx. How long have you been flowering for? THC levels are mainly genetically based. Hanging the whole plant won't make a big difference in THC production.

let the hairs turn color most of them anyways.

you still need to let them grow you need a hand held microscope 10x power if you want to know for sure

That's a myth, it makes no difference how you harvest the plant. Once the plant is cut, THC production will cease. All of the THC is produced in the foliage, not the roots. You want to harvest in the early morning right before the sun comes up, this is when THC production is at it's peak.

I agree, buy a 420scope and check the heads of your trichomes to see if your plant is ready for harvest. Red hairs are not a determining factor for when to harvest.

look at the trichs, i use a 60x microscope, i pick when 60% are amber, gives you a couthlook high
