Ok so I am growing 4 plants in soil, 3 are mixed kush, and 1 is just bagseed that is going to shit on me.
But anyways, I thought I was going to harvest around the 10th when my soil is dry from when a watered a couple days ago. The 10th of April would be two months of flowering, as I started on the 10th of Feb.
These plants are said to take 8-9 weeks, but when I look at my buds the tips are EXPLODING, lol, with new hairs.
So instead of just chopping in a few days when the soils dry, should I water again, and then wait for that to dry before chopping, or maybe wait even longer than that?
Oh btw, I have been watering with molasses water the last 3 waterings.
Check it out!

No! Do not touch or cut! My 13 plants are in the same stage. In order to get the very peak of THC level, wait until about 70% of the white hairs has turned brownish. Then, get a magnifiying glass and watch for milky white oils that looks like little mushrooms. When thoes white droplets START to turn an amber color, it is THE peak time to harvest. The THC level starts to go down when the amber color appears. If picked now, you'll only be getting about 50 to 60% of the plants potental. A week or so will be well worth the weight/wait. I'm using Earthjuice-Bloom on mine, what are you using?
Now is also the time to decide if you want to rejuive the plant, and how you want to harvert the plant. See growmarijauna.com for various methods of harvesting & curing/drying.Good luck.

If your getting large amounts of new growth wait it out & forget about any time schedule that they are supposed to take,wait until bud production has slowed back down,i would never chop right in the middle of a growth spurt,it makes no sense to me no matter how the trich's look.

It's funny. I have never harvested before and I have learned from RIU, if you have to ask when to do it -- wait a week.

8-9 week is a guide depends on set up air refresh rate etc, they could take up to 12 week m8 in soil sorry

HAHAHA wtf you guys said not to chop yet so I was still waiting for the go ahead!!!!

But really, this thread is back from the dead? Here are the harvest pictures.

I think it was a little over 2 ounces.

And also a picture of my new grow that just started a couple days ago.

Sweet pink grapefruit, yum yum.
I think I'm going to scrog, but I'm not really sure since I have so many little plants, but only a 250w hps + cfls..
