Lucked out this year with a few cold nights in early October. Gave my Diesel some nice purple hairs! I just cut the plant this past Wednesday before a series of rainy days and the trichomes are bursting with resin.

Need opinions on these!! Northern Lights, Trichs milky, a few very little brown, but some clear.. H20 for 3 waterings, I would rather get them early than late, as I have a short time to get them in jars!!!

Ready or How Long. I have to get these finished soon!!!

Those look really good, they're ready for harvesting :weed:
Just make sure you do a proper dry & cure!

You cannot tell maturity by the pistils colours..


What determines maturity (best time to harvest) is:

Trichomes (clear - cloudy - amber)
Swollen calyxes
Receding pistils

Harvested my first successful outdoor grow last month. Dried three plants for a couple weeks each, then placed in airtight glass jars to cure in cool dark closet. How long before the chlorophyl smell disappears and is replaced by the nice skunky aroma the plants gave off while growing? When will THC and CN-levels reach peak potency?

Yes you can.
You can also use:

Lime, coconut, pineapple or any other fruit you can think of.
Just don't put any wet fruit into your curing jar(s), make sure it's fairly dry (still moist but not leaking fluid).

The aroma will like come through either 2 - 4 weeks in the curing stage. Check out this thread on curing....
