First Harvest. How do they look?

[dec0der]

This will be my first harvest. It seems timing is everything. I know they're not ready yet but wanted to know how are they looking? You can zoom in on photo. Thanks.

Let em go a little longer!!!! Have you scoped the buds? When you do make sure to check the buds, not the leaves! Looking well on their way!

I have a jewelers loupe, i haven't looked through it yet. I also grabbed the USB microscope, waiting for that to arrive. When it comes, I'll use both and take some pics. I was reading about flowering, and it says DONT RUSH harvest. It said its better to let um go longer then to pull them early. I'm looking for 20%-30% amber as i want this weed to put me on my ass.

I have a drying net ready and grabbed a cheap ass wood moisture meter so I can check the moisture level of the buds (10-12%) before i throw um in the terploc bags. Chose to use "Terploc bags" 58-62%RH instead of mason jars to cure. I hear good things, figured i'd try it. The plan is to cure for 1 month. My arm rubbed against a bud, and my skin was sticky and smelt like skunk.

I don't know if you guys can tell from looking at the theses plants about yield, but it doesn't look like a lot of weight. Hope I don't loose bud density when drying. I was told sometimes it can be extreme and buds will shrink after drying.

Looks like I'm going to need bigger yielding plants and grow 4 plants because 1-2oz from 2 plants won't be enough. I'm more into quality over quantity but I'm tired of being dry and having to grab weed at a dispensary. I can't stand dispensaries.

Yeah I’d say you’re about right. How did you grow these? What kind of soil and ferts were used? can we improve your yield maybe 1-2 oz isn’t awful but can be much better too.

I use fox farms ocean forest. I've used "Recharge" during veg and that's about it. During flower been using Flower Fuel in 1/2 doses, don't want to burn the plants. Also using recharge. That's it. I water every 2-3days 1/2 gallon each plant. I don't use flower fuel each time. I skip then give just water, next watering I give nutes.

I preferred happy frog when I was using fox farms soils and had better success feeding megacrop 1 part. They offer free samples a lot most the time of there is a coupon on thier website

Water by weight if the pots light it’s ready for water. In flower every 2-3 days seems low. I’ve had plants drinking a gallon a day in flower

Plants look a little unripe! Should let them go at least couple more weeks they will probably bulk up considerably more, and yea the buds will shrink about 75% you want rock hard buds if you harvest now, your yield and potency will take a big hit!

 

[KingRatt]

You will be surprised how much weight they put on in the next two to three weeks! My first couple harvests were pulled way too soon and i really think the saying “when you think they are done, give em a week and check em” is worth its weight in gold!

There are def bigger autos out there, Mephisto has a filter search for size of plants i think! Also training and growing style have a huge outcome on yields as well
