Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

Fdd would you suggest a couple days of darkness come the end of my grow? Where's your stand on that subject, just looking for a one liner, not a book as I know this isn't the thread for it.

what you do here is super-cool.

what's your estimated timing on these two bagseed ladies... i'm opting for early, to further increase sativaness. but not too early, to fulfill potential quantity as well.

and, if that's cool, a yield assessment? what do you think :)

greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm harvesting early due to the rain we've been getting (and will be getting for the next 3 days), but i'd like to know just HOW early i am. Also, my dad seems to think we're way behind in the harvesting - I'm of the mind that these plants could have gone another week.





I love this one:


i hope these image links work, seeing how they're hosted on a competitor's site :(

Thanks in advance :)
Hey man, that plant looks just like a plant I saw a friend of mine grow out in the mountains near Shasta and if I recall correctly, the name was "Purplecstasy"
Looks dank!

Done yet 001.jpgDone yet 003.jpgDone yet 006.jpgDone yet 005.jpgWhat's up Fdd2blk, I am back with new pics. 2 plants 11 days after you said 3 weeks. Just want to see how close. Seems like they blew up since last post. What do you think? The trichs are all cloudy with scattered amber. I am thinking a good flush and 5 days. Thanks again. 001 and 003 same plant. 005 and 006 same plant.

Hi there, this is the first time I've gone solo with growing miss mary jayne. I've enjoyed the learning expirience emmensely and am really looking forward to puffing my own grown stinky 'o naturale' ganja. However I've got a few issues at this late stage. Firstly (and more importantly) to do with harvesting times and secondly with the drying / curing process.

I am growing 4 female Shaman plants outdoors down at the bottom of my garden. All the plants have developed at different paces.

Pic.1 shows one plant that has half its pistols brown and all trichomes milky.
Pic.2 shows the other plant that is also more 'flowered'. Trichomes are also nearly all milky (no brown)
Pic.3 and 4. shows the lazy one of the group. Nearly no brown pistols and it looks like the bud will beef up some more. Five days ago there was virtually no flower.
Pic.5 and 6. the plant that appears to have done best (and also the only one I didn't top). Pistols are 70% white. All trichomes white / milky. Ideally I'd like to give this one another week at least.

Now my first dilemna is this; we've got some pretty awful weather forecast for the next few days (wind and rain). Apparently these plants are usually ready to harvest in the first week of Oct.
I'm definately going to leave the 'lagger'of the group there till then. But I'm concerned for my other babies.... For the two most developed would it be best to harvest them ahead of the bad weather?

I've read from a few places that as soon as the trichomes are turning brown, its time, as this signals the THC breaking down into other psychoactives.

Which leads me nicely to the next (and kinda inter - mingled) query that I've been puzzling over; which is all to do with drying / curing.

In a nutshell I've heard this; As the buds dry/cure the THC breaks down into other chemicals which can alter the quality of smoke vastly.

I've also heard this; 'if you want a cerebral high your going for a shorter drying span so much of the THC remains' (Straight off the bat I'd say this would be my preffered choice as I fucking love getting high and doing active stuff like playing some footie with mates).

and 'if you want a body high that is more likely to keep you sofa - bound then your looking for a more 'cured' bud.

However, lol, I've also heard that the longer you cure your weed, the better it tastes and more flavour you get and supposedly the conniseur goes for this mixture.

I've got a drying / curing procedure set up so Im alright on that front, I'd just like to read some discussion and also hear about to keep my bud with high THC levels, as I want to do stuff when I'm baked! Perhaps I could do a mixture.... any thoughts on that??

My main question is the first though. Please give me your advice about harvesting ahead or after the bad weather - which is a lot of rain and quite a bit of wind. It's still fairly warm around here.

Thanks!!
