I think Frogault just laid down some pretty solid advice.
She’s pretty damn close, and due to me harvesting a little early myself last time I’m of the thinking to try a harvest past what I think is time.
I’m getting close too. Since I’m in it for the long term it don’t mind making errors as they help you learn for future.
Harvest a bud or two soon and test it in comparison to later harvested bud.
Trial and error and you’ll know your own personal preferences soon enough.
I’ve always been impatient. Growing has taught me to temper that, and accept the learning process as I go.
I’m doing a periodic harvest this time around, not harvesting as early... grabbing a few buds for comparison and letting some go far far past what I believe is ripe.
Good luck and keep us informed. I’m going to learn from you as well bud!
