once they are brown and hard. they will fall off when you brush them with your finger.



those look incredible. i think i still see a lot of new growth. gonna have to say "7-10 more days". but i could be wrong. they look done from afar, but like i said, i think i see white hairs all over the tops still.

like fall off after you cut the tree down and cure and harvest ? or fall off right before harvesting ?


like fall off if you poke them while still on the plant. the whole pod while easily break away with the seed inside it. when the seeds easily break off the living plant they are done.

thanks for the response....there is still white hairs, is that a sign to let em ride? problem is, my drying area was supposed to be the same area they're growing in.....as for trichomes, alot are milky, some plants more than others...but theres still a good mix of clear ones too....maybe i should take them down in phases and re plan my drying area? is darkness a factor in drying? i know it is in curing from what i read, and i assume its the same for drying.....also, is it possible that my lower buds can look more mature than the higher ones? ive heard the opposite, these however look like most of the lower buds are matured more than the top ones.....im gunna try and get some better closer shots today.

I'm a little confused by mine this run. I never ran these strains but for the most part, they "look" done. Meaning, they're swollen up, white hairs receded, fan leaves yellowing from the flush, (7 days by now) However, lots of the trichomes are still clear with some clouding but no amber at all at day 61. 1st time using a light mover, might have something to do with it. Also, taking accurate pictures is hard with a decent camera, I'm running a 1.3 MP that I bought 10 years ago...

Thanks!

white hairs mean they are still growing. this is why you can't rely on just the trichs to determine harvest time.
you can dry in the light. the whole "light is bad" thing is exaggerated. you would want to leave dry buds in the sun all day, but room lighting is fine.

sometimes different areas of the plant will ripen at different times.
