harvest or wait?

so i am at day 67 (day 60 if you subtract a week of shock from switching from dwc to coco at onset of flower). white majic and agent orange strains under a 600w, in 5 gal pots coco/perlite mix.

the bottoms have brown hairs and nice calix formation and are swelling as best bottoms can, the tops (colas) are still 80-90% white hairs.
no amber tricomes anywhere
90% cloudy tricomes.
leaves are yellowing...more on one AO than the others, i flushed twice so far. 5 gal pots are currently at about 30% water content, last flush was 7 days ago

i took down three large colas today because of mold found.
i salvaged what i could and composted the moldy buds.

the reason was the temp/humid controller for the fan wasnt set to come on during the night cycle becuase then the co2 would also come on during the night. and well....humidity got high. i fixed the problem and set the controller to come on during the day and unplugged the CO2 tank so it wont come on during the night.

i am also just starting a battle with fungus gnats. 2-3 flying around each day. i am vacuming the adults and i have been using DE and BTI mosquito dunks through out...think i need to up the BTI, lower water and set out traps....i hope removing the finished ones will also cut down on the popluation, because the roots on the new crop i just transplanted had very healthy roots

i think that about sums it up

so do i harvest the rest now even though they are not quite done or wait a few more days???

thanks

have any pics?

as you can see. the top hairs are still quite white
the bottoms are nice and red and swelling calixes
i dont have a dehumidifer...the fan has been running all during the night cycle
probably doesnt help that we have had 90%+ humidity for the last month here. and i am in a garage
it is suposto dry out tomorrow for a few days. so hopefully the room will drop in humidity and they will ripen up some more

its kinda wierd that the bottoms are finishing first.
the WM is on the left, AO on right.

It appears that they are not quite ready to harvest. I would recommend some additional flowering time before harvesting, for optimum yield.


Good luck....

It's to late, it looks like he may have harvested lol

i only took the 3 tops that had mold.
i cut the mold out and drying the remaining of the buds.

lights are out right now, so this is all i have for pic

It looks fairly immature still imo. the buds look like they had alot of swelling to do yet. At the same time you've got the bud mold to consider as well. I've only had it a few times myself and just got off the effected parts and improved airflow and lowered my humidity and it didnt spread. However i looked around on here a bit and my friend pot roast said this on the matter-
"It sounds like powdery mildew. Spray your plants with water with 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda per quart. Inspect in several days, and spray again. You can add some Neem Oil to the water, too, as a general fungicide.". Alot of people agreed with him, You look like you have still have time to stop it. It will be easier to tell once we see some pics of the plant.

I always harvest when trics are 90% cloudy....

trics are 90% cloudy, but hairs are still white on the top 3 inches of colas

lights come on soon. will try to get some better pics and see if there is anymore mold, i think i got it all
the fans have been on all day (plants night)

3 weeks in my opinion for a stony high, 2 weeks if a head high is desired.

pics 1 and 3 are white majic. these are really dense, but tops have lots of white hairs.
pics 2, 4 are the two AO. #4 has all yellow leaves. #2 pulled the 2 colas off yesterday...those bottoms look done, no?

pulled off about 3 grams of moldy bud today.
i am thinking i really need to chop what is done. like i said all the lower buds look done..it s the tops that are still hairy
magnifying report is 95-100% cloudy

if you have to ask....wait 2 weeks.

well if there is mold tomorrow i am pulling the buds that are swelled and redhair.
68 days now
i added an extra fan. need to lower humidity, its at 50-60%
the AO looks much more done than the WM

could you get a few more pics without the hps on for us? It makes it very hard to judge color and other things im trying to look for/at. If the mold keeps spreading and returning I would chop the done parts. you should buy a dehumidifier for the future or find some other way to drop the humidity.

no mold from last night. humidity is 55%...added another fan and the vent fan is on all night.
its not raining outside anymore
i am going to wait a few more days.
the AO has a lot more red hairs today
even saw a few amber trics.

go to your local home depot or lowes and get a eva dry... their like 20 bucks and work.

How long have you used one? I was having trouble during the most humid days of summer to keep the humidity in my area down in my new grow space and was looking into getting a dehumidifier and could not find one that people actually liked and agreed it worked, that name is familar and like the rest half the people loved it and half thought that brand/unit was junk. If you say you've had good results for a decent amount of time I'll have to try it out.The problem i had is Its just hard to tell what to believe when the reviews of it are on a page where they are trying to sell the product, false reviews are not hard to write. You are not trying to sell me something and have no reason to lie to me.

Thats another good question. I didnt think of that one.

day 72
its a 4x4 tent
here are some pics of the AO. this one has no more white hairs. a few amber trics. the tops were taken off cause of the mold.
