Thoughts about harvesting....TOMORROW!

So...it's about week 6 and I want to harvest my smallest plant because the pot that it's in seems to be out grown by the plant so now every time I water the plant roots start to show at the top.
-I've only used molasses/water during flowering I started using molasses friday 03/4 no nutes.
-I attempted to flush it with molasses/water then plain water that was around 4:30 pm my lights go off at 10:30 pm
-I want to harvest today 3/7 around 5:30pm so it will be dry
-my trichs are 90% milky I'm cool with getting a heady type high
-About 65-70% of the hairs have turned red/orange.
-I know I should wait but I want to practice harvesting and curing before I get to my Kandy Kush and my root problem so what you think?? what's the pro's and con's

6 weeks ... leave it to finish... never mind practicing harvesting and curing.... get to the end of a grow first or your missing things out on the learning curve..... Knowing when to cut exactly is a big part .....Don't skip it.
One flush isn't all you need should flush for 1-2 weeks if you wanna flush one day flush aint going to do anything.


6 weeks too early. your nearly there.......WAIT.
Tric's 90% cloudy....
WAIT... all cloudy anmd turning orange/amber better not a clear/cloudy combo.
Hair/pistel colour has little to do with it and only a bit of an indicator that maybe you need to start checking the other factors
Roots out the bottom at this time is no issue.

I agree. You only have 2 more weeks or so. The roots may be crowded, but you might as well finish it. You don't want to smoke premature bud, or waste all that time and energy you put into her. Plus, that last couple weeks, you will gain a lot of weight in the buds, and get a lot more potency. Good luck, man!

no the roots are at the top and every time i water the dirt gets loose so the whole plant get loose by the day it's to the point that when I move it i have to hold it and move very slowly this isn't a problem?? and I know not to go about the hairs that's why i included the trichs and no not all cloudy about 85-90% I never said whole or 100% but I'm pretty sure you know more than me I'll try to wait it out I just hope it doesn't break off lol thanks guys!

Leave it be. Sounds like you're just searching for reasons to chop it. Be patient

AGREED.
It's worth it.
Roots at top of pot....... stick more soil in if needed to steady the plant.
So close don't fret it..... roots showing or not..... WAIT or you'll kick yourself.

Why do people come ask? When you already know your going to do it. Also has anyone else noticed they all make excuses on why they should harvest early, and I think they talk the plant up 65-75% red hairs in week 6? IDK bout that.

I believe people come to this site to talk to people that know more than what they know I started this thread for advice the pros and cons on if I did it and got advice I'm pretty every body who's ever grown and made it to flowering thought about harvesting I was really thinking if the roots got damaged the plant would die and decided that it would be better to harvest early than expected and also you speak about doubting if the hairs are 65-75% when every body knows that it doesn't have anything to do when it truly ready I use my scope and go by the trichs next time share your fingers time on typing bs on a thread and worry about overwatering your plants....but thats just my opinion....so hows your current grow going?

yeah I'm gonna wait the two week out and then harvest should I start flushing it with just water and I heard that you should stop water I think a few days before harvesting because the plant will increase thc produce is this accurate?

what you want to let it finish for, dont listen to this lot, what do they know anyway,cut it down now and send it to me, its the only sensible thing to do
