Hey guys. so this is my first attempt at growing. i was hoping i might get a few tips/pointers about my harvest time. from what I've found the average flower time for BC is between 58-65 days. As of right now I'm on day 53 of flowering and was hoping to see what opinions yall might have about when to harvest or how close i might be to harvest. I'm gonna post a few pics up from my phone. i hope they are good enough to see. thanks for any input.

Thanks man. i feel like its turning out good for a first timer. I'm using a hydro setup with GH flora duo nutes and liquid kool bloom during flowering. I tried to go simple for my first wack at it lol.

I have also been thinking about doing the three days of lights out before harvest. anyone got any opinions about it would be greatly appreciated.

I think most here would tell you there's no science behind that theory, and any benefits are negligible. If anything, it just keeps your impatient hands off the Fiskars a few extra days.

I know I couldn't leave my girls alone for three final days in the dark, especially when they're ready to harvest! Nice first grow, btw.
:tiphat:

Great first grow, nice strain too.

Couldn't see how mature the buds are from the pic's. But at a guess maybe another 1-2weeks, let the hairs recede into the pods a bit.

Also if you can get magnification on the resin you should see mostly cloudy resin heads, with a few in amber colour, they is ripe then. If they are still mostly clear then wait for a week or so.

Congratulations on a good first grow.

Thanks everyone for the comments. My timeline is working out well so far my planned date for harvest (not definite) will be a week after Wednesday because i plan on flushing for a full week. i also plan on making an investment in some type of microscope magnification type thing for the trichromes. sorry about the pics i will try and post some better ones in the next few days.

Zealsage I really enjoyed your pics. They are a true inspiration for a first timer like myself. I hope my first batch turns out anywhere like yours and I'll be thrilled. Great Job really

Thanks for the kind words NYNebie. I went into this first grow really not knowing much (nothing at all lol) But thanks to this forum and ALOT of reading I've learned a good bit about it. I'm sure there's a ton more to figure out also.

Hey guys so i got a couples pics of my top leaves on my plants. they are getting yellow and brown spots on them. i was worried that it might be light burn. i am really late in the bloom now so it might be normal from the plant using the last of the nutes before harvest. if anyone has any comments about it just let me know. thanks for all the help.
