New Grower First time grower, critical purple and tangering dream

you want to try for 30% amber if you want it stronger go 50.But I would let them go till they are at least 30% amber and the leaf start to yellow from her not taking food.

Day 68
Today the TD was harvested, and I have to admit my surprise. She gave me 250 grams wet and if I get half that after cure will be very happy. I would have loved for her to go longer, but she started having some weird problems with her leaves, and lost the majority of them. Her trichs were milky with prob around 10% amber. I think she was ready...I know my wife was for sure! I am very curious how much I will get off the critical purple, as her colas are twice as big. Will find out in about a month. Here are some pics from before and after harvest.

Wow looking fine! Just curious, what is your approach to drying and curing? Are you going to do the whole plant hang or paper bags or what?

Im doing paper bag method. I read an awesome article on this site i will follow. Basically cut it all into golfball size pieces and line a bottom of a bag. Wait 4 to 6 days, and then jar. Burp several times a day for a week, then as needed. Im sure that part wont be hard, my wife will be into it often. I will prob add a boveda pack as soon as i jar.

@Aritaur420 harvesting is a subjective issue but I would quick dry a sample bud and see if it’s to your liking. Another week, or even two, wouldn’t hurt those plants. There’s still plenty of white hairs and they could still swell up a lot more. Your last cpl weeks could literally double your harvest weight. I know you want to enjoy it as soon as possible but the last couple weeks really are the most crucial in weight and potency. Plants look delicious though; congratulations!

Im going to go for another month on the two thats left. I wanted to wait for this tangie, but the leaves looked bad, turning yellow and crumbling, then falling off on the top. But i hope you are right and the other two pack it on in the next month.
