First time grower, full of doubts - Also sort of a growth journal

[420Forever]

Well hello. Today we have a different set of pics. Let me know what you think about this zoom of the buds, how far are the thrics. I still don´t have a microscope so i just used my phone camera on ful zoom. Also one pic of the tent. Cheers, and please chime in with opinions.

hmm...well, picz are often deceiving, cuz of trickz of light & such, but that #4 pic lookz fairly clear still on trichz, so u still got a lil wait...and btw, whenever u make an update post, 'specially one w/picz, it would help us stonerz greatly if u'd remind us each time of how old they are...jus sayin ppp

You definitely have time to order your loop. I'm harvesting a girl today that looked like yours does 3 weeks ago. I am confident you have another week. Perhaps as much as 3.
Funny thing is I'm asking advice in mybcurrent harvest as well. Always seems easier to look at someone else's grow objectively.

They'll be 8 weeks on soil next tuesday. I think i may have maybe 2 more weeks. But it's my first grow so i'm not sure. I just added 2 weeks to what RQS said the harvest time would be. Thanks

Don't forget to post some pics and tag me. I want to see the new hat. High fashion.

I agree two or three weeks to go. If I used paper bags the house would be full of them. I hang them in the room where the grow space is located. 70°F with 50% humidity 4 or 5 days to the curing jars. I use a 62% Boveda or Integra from day one in the jars. Burp them every day for the first 10 to 14 days . Carefully dump the buds out a few times when you burp them so they do not compact, clump together and start molding. Then burp once a week for the next month then once a month for the rest of its shelf life.

When the trichome are nearly all cloudy the harvest window opens:
Some clear mostly all cloudy = a cerebral, racy high.
All cloudy with 20% amber = a balance mind/body high
All Cloudy with 40% amber = sleepy time/couch lock buzz

50% plus = over ripe.

How about 3 to 4 weeks more?

AWESOME. YOU BET

Yes I think at least 3 weeks. Is definitely closer to the mark.

I'm unable to see the trichs close enough to determine but my guess would be another 1 to 2 weeks based on the amount of stigmas that are still white.

I'm going to be honest. I haven´t smoked for months. So i will start to smoke before the cure. I know i should not do it, but some buds won´t be seing the inside of the jar. When the stems start snapping i'll start smoking. But the rest will be cured, but not for long. I don't know what the yeld will be but i'm hoping it will be enough to get us by until the next grow is finished. I would like to try a bit after the harvest but i don´t think there's a safe way to do a fast dry, so i'm hoping that a week or so inside the bags will be enough to dry the buds. After that i'll jar most of them and keep a bit to keep us going. If i get something around 100g (dry) i will be REALLY happy.
