New Grower How long till i harvest and give her the snip ?? !

[calabria420]

(serious seeds auto white russian) Shes 70 days old tomorrow and ive started flushing her 4 days ago with just regular phed water ! I have read muddys sticky on when to harvest but I still would like some opinions as its my first harvest ever ! a lot of her fan leaves are gone because of previous deficiencies, and not so much because of maturity but I know she is getting close ! how much yellower should the leaves in by the buds get before I chop her ? they are starting to get yellow but im afraid to wait too long .....most of the pistols are orange/red but still have a few buds with long white ones .....also shes been getting 24/0 lighting since birth so should I give her 24 hours of dark before I chop her ? should she be dried out before cutting or does it not matter if she got watered recently ? Any advice and info on my questions would be greatly appreciated ! one love !

please bare with me im going to attach pics but I need to upload from my phone first ! sorry if they come out sideways I will try my best !

I wouldn't worry about giving her dark time prior to harvest and if you want you can harvest only the buds that are ready and leave the rest for a couple weeks ... helps get your drying technique dialed in too ... I do partial harvest often as removing a cola can allow the light to be moved closer to the rest of the buds ... as long as you started the cleanse 4 days ago I'd give her another 10 days and cut off anything that looks like it's done ... pistils no longer white and yellow creeping into the bud leaves ... there are a couple threads here on harvesting and curing ... 10 days is enough time to commit them to memory and to buy a Western Caliber II ...

i especially like your lighting; do you think you have enough lights? JK, how many are there?

Instead of all those cfl you should look at buying one big cfl if CFLs are what you like, eBay has 150w cfl and reflector for $40ish(same as 12 14w cfl, 6 23w cfl) they also got a 250watt

i love cfl grows ha , i was looking on alliexpress today and found some led bulb things that have 30x 3W leds that plug into your normal lamp socket only cost like 7$. . . looked kinda cool

If you're into CFLs check out BayLee420's grows ... they're great ...

Nice looking setup! I wouldn't go by dates or how yellow the leaves are. Get a jewellers loupe off eBay for cheap and check the trichs, it's the most simple and accurate way of knowing when to chop that bitch down. Good luck!

Better yet you can get a digital scope for under $20 that takes photos like this when attached to a computer ... there is a link in my grow to this scope on Ebay ....
