RIU needs a damn app like Grasscity for sure.

SHiiiiii after todays reading binge I almost feel like I could harvest everything this weekend, but I'm not gonna do it.
I figure I'll chop what I can and let the rest do the do for a little longer.
I've found that the general consensus is that I should harvest most of my plants when they're clear/cloudy but not yet amber, given the fact that they're indica hybrids for the most part this crop.
Prior to this reading binge I was under the impression that I should be seeing some amber before I pull things for sure, but it seems that's more of a haze rule?

Any input?

i thought they had one

 

[Sincerely420]

Nahh I'm sayin RIU needs one, like the one that GC has!
But what do you think about the above post brother? Regarding the harvest?

 

[RetiredMatthebrute]

i would only chop one to a time. trimming can get seriously exausting and better to leave the plants growing than to cut them down and leave em overnight. as far as wether they are ready or not thats up to you man, i dont check trich's (well i do but i dont go by them when to harverst i just think they look cool as hell under a 100x pocket scope)

harvest when you feel they are ready, mostly orange hairs means they are pretty much done with bud development, each white hair represents a new calyx formed, each bud is the collection of hundreds of calyx's no white hairs means no new calyx's no new calx's means buds arent growing......they can swell all they want but that in my mind is generally more water weight than plant material.

not sure if im answering your question or not, i am a rebel and dont go by the "rules"

 

[Sincerely420]

Well sir you did indeed answer my question so thanks for your input.
I asked your opinion and I got a good answer.

"harvest when you feel they are ready, mostly orange hairs means they are pretty much done with bud development, each white hair represents a new calyx formed, each bud is the collection of hundreds of calyx's no white hairs means no new calyx's no new calx's means buds arent growing......they can swell all they want but that in my mind is generally more water weight than plant material." - Mr.Brute lol

Given all I've read, what you posted is spot on. No new light hairs, no new bud growth. Makes since.
Looking at my autobub right now it's giving me foxtails on some of the buds which might be it's final spurt?!?
I've read over and over again that once the hairs start receding into the calyx's, things are done! I thought my autobub was finishing up,
but like i said it's pushing thru one more wave of white hairs!

MY allergies are F'n with me, so I can stand to be around all the lights checkin trichs due to my eyes watering...
Bout killed me just now to rotate them lol. Hopefully I didn't miss much tho

if they are foxtailing i wouldt let them go, foxtails are new calyx's

basicly from what i gather out of the trichome scoping is the ripeness of the actual trichs and the chemical changes thats going on in there effect the type of high you get. me personally i dont like a couchlock high(mostly amber) so i just yank em once they stop packing on weight..

Nice bro.

But your saying the fox tails are a bad things? Why would you stop them if new calyxs are forming? Would you not wanna wait until the tirchs have did their do, and the buds have finished forming??
Also read that foxtails occur due to high heat as well and my temps are a constant 77-80, but I did have the CFLs pretty close to the tips of the autobub, so it could have occurred due to the little radiant heat that they do put off being enough..

 

[RetiredMatthebrute]

nah man i worded my statement kinda funny, when i said i wouldt let them go i meand would...no t as in i would let them keep growing.

and foxtails are genetic im pretty sure....some of the shit you hear on this site is just absolutly fucking retarded and you really need a fine comb to weed out all the dumb shit people regurgitate. 1/2 of it dosent even make sense on a biological level.

Ahh ok so we're clear now haha! And cool that we're on the same page!
When I get my damn eyes back I'll keep and eye on the trichs for sure tho.
Definitely trying to see a few things tho, like hairs receding in calyxs or being a majority red and withered, and the trichs being most cloudly of course.
Appreciate ya sir!

Oh and yeahh ppl do say some off the wall shit haha! Some things are on that boarderline tho where you think it's off, but it just might make since you know?!
I try my best to weed out the bull lol.
