When should i harvest week 9 day 63 kosher,cannalope & og-kush

[indicantonio]

Hello RIU!

Finishing up my first grow now and would like some advice on when to harvest? On week 9 day 63 of 12/12 under 600w HPS.

I was planning on cutting most of them at the end of week 9 and a couple more beginning week 10.

Any advice is greatly appreciated...

My plan is:

-Heavily watering without nutes for the past 2-3 weeks
-If possible leave 24 hours dark period?
-Cut the whole plant in the morning and "fully" trim branch by branch.
-Hang upside down in dark-ventilated area until fully dried. "Any input on how long should I leave them hanging?"
-If medicine left put in glass jars.




Thank you for your help

Looking great.

You do not need to flush that long. You should of kept feeding nutes the last 2-3 weeks and began a water only fed of about a week now. 63 days after 12/12 switch is really only about 50 or so days of true flowering, depending on when your girls showed their first white pistils.
NO DARK PERIOD. It does nothing positive. You need that 12 hours of light for the darkness to do anything positive, 24-72 hours of darkness at harvest only hurts the yield.
I have a dry room that allows me to slowly dry my buds for 10-21 days so I never cut entire plant and cannot comment on that.

What is the trichome progress? The color of trichs is really the best way to judge when you should cut.

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah this being my first grow I heard so many warnings about over feeding them that I went REAL simple not many nutes and wanted to flush them real good this being for personal use. I don't know how the dispensaries are in IE but I wanted to try the "cleanest" medicine possible to be able to compare to the medicine in dispensaries here around LA.

Ok, I won't dark period It was going to be a hassle anyway "space issues"

I repeat I am a n00b so Im still seeing the trichomes pretty white not seeing much amber but I don't know I'm a tad bit lost with this whole harvesting.

Thank you Djengo!

Well I started with 8 seedlings they grew out perfectly until the 4th week-ish of flower that I saw some signs of Herm and I chopped immediately "Both herms were Kosher Kush from Reserva Privada"

So now I am left with

1 OG KUSH RESERVA PRIVADA
4 KOSHER KUSH RESERVA PRIVADA
1 CANNALOPE KUSH RESERVA PRIVADA

How many grams am I looking at? I have NO CLUE being my first grow since day one I expected the worse and hoped for the best so I never even red into what yield should I expect well even the strains that I got aren't very heavy producers.
