Yeah, I started with a calendar tracking method. Then I realized and excepted each plant is ready when it is. Took me a couple times to dial it into a good window.

Am I too late? Meaning have I hurt the outcome? There are a lot of leave that are dying right now. Will the girls still put on weight since I just fed them again?

First off, they are looking so good made my mouth water! Would you be able to get a more zoomed in picture of the trichomes? I've heard that once 50-75% of the trichomes are an ember color, it is time to harvest.

Happy growing :)

I completely agree that there was room to let them go but I messed up and started flushing 2 weeks before their "63" day harvest date. The plants were hungry and didn't recover well so yesterday became the harvest day. It's my first run of growing so I'm definitely going to learn from my mistakes. Here are some trichome pics. There is definitely more room to turn more amber but I think at this point we are just talking about potency and not size, right?

Yeah, I mean they are pretty milky! God dang I love those purple leaves. You should be super proud for your first grow!! I've read that the more amber the trichomes get, the more a "couch lock" feeling the high is (not sure if that is true or not).

Right, and it will still be great...Nice job!

On my last harvest, early this month I took my plants a week or so early because I was battling powdery mildew with them, and i was supposed to be in the Bahamas right now :(....but the weed actually is better IMO. I normally can't smoke this strain because it gives me super anxiety, but by taking it a little early it became a relaxing buzz, and no one else complained...And mine were def. earlier than yours....It will be great!

I used Roots Organics soil, GH trio, Calmag with spring water, (Silica, Diamond Nectar and Hydroplex in flower) PH 6.2

I will send more pics during trimming. I'm drying in the tent 70F 50%RH.

I let 30 to 40 percent of the trich's go amber.
Thats a beast of a plant by the way. Now its all up to the dry and cure.

The last 2-3 weeks actually increase the yield quite a bit, along with over all quality. Plants swell up internally and become more dense during that period and can easily increase by 20% yield. I’ve watched strong branches bend over from fresh weight in just a matter of a few days.

As a general rule you should ignore harvest dates and estimates. Those times are based on other people’s plants in other peoples grows. Your grow will be different. Plants finish when they finish.

Exactly. That's when I kick in the plant Yoyo's, lol. Thanks again Thundercat.

This Golden Goat is on day 55 in the pic, but I didn't chop her for another 4 weeks, so she got even fatter. I got 1/2 lb off this girl.
