I too harvested two plants early last week. Trichromes were cloudy and only a few amber. Everything I have read tells me to make sure to cure well. To cure I put in mason jars after hanging for a week for single buds or week to two weeks for full plants. Open the mason jars daily for a few hours to let breathe, close and repeat the next day. I typically do this for about a month and am good to go. With the early harvested, will cure for two months or so to get the best taste. I pulled three early last year as I had a last minute business trip and no one to baby sit. I cured those for three months and my friends are still raving about the 07 widow. Smooth smoke, great "up" high and taste was fantastic. So, don't let the bastards get you down. This is your first grow and bound to have some issues. I see alot of posts of people waiting until the last minute to harvest. This is all fine if your grow will allow and you want to be locked on the couch all night. As a fisherman, my guess is you might want more of a soaring up high to enjoy while out on the water without the drag of late harvested bud. So man, enjoy your harvest, cure it well and don't listen to those giving you bs about your grow. Learn from this grow to make your second even better.
Happy smoking......
FISH ON DARLING!
i just harvested 3 bc sweettooth plants early... had to because the lights in my grow room went out for 48 hrs. and they started to lean. there was minimal sugar on the buds but they gave off a wonderful odor during trimming. they had about 2 1/2 wks left in the flowering cycle before harvest so it wasn't too soon. i didn't get to leach the soil so i'm worried about fertilizer taste in the smoke. is there anything i can do to ensure primo buds?? what can i do??! has anyone else done this??
sorry dude... your tummy's allways gona go *GRRR*
. Happy smoking.
