Harvest time? - Cannabis Harvesting & Processing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

First of all, hello everyone, sucks about OG but I'm glad I've now ended up in a seemingly amazing forum.

Now, this is my first grow and as I was waiting for some good babies from a friend I decided to grow bagseed as a means of practice. Figured Id run into all sorts of problems so I'd learn. I was right, thoughout the whole process I had all sorts of deficiencies. Long story short, I now have 3 pretty decent plants.

This is the one thats the most advanced out of the lot. Problem is, it looks like its never going to be ready for harvest. Ive been checking the trich's with a magnifying glass but none of them seem to turn amber. I remember reading somewhere something about bad strains never being ready. The plant seems to have sucked pretty much all the nitrogen out of the leaves but the buds still seem to be growing slightly.

So, should I just harvest it, or wait some more?

Ryhyth Are you using one of those 60x scopes from Radio Shack. that kind of scope really shows you what's up with the trichs. How long has she been in flower ? She looks real nice for sure...Good Luck...Peace...Peach

Cut 1 bud & trim it up nice & study the trichomes at a table sittin' down it's easier to see all the trich colors that way.Peace

thanks for the replies guys

Im using a crappy magnifying glass, I think Ill go pick up a better one at RadioShack today. It looks like theres less trichs than before though. I guess Ill give it another week.

I can't wait to get my hands on some good genes =)

have a great day!

Radio Shack has the 60x magnifiers on clearance for $8. They work alright, kind of a pain in the ass to focus but for $8, what the heck. It is awesome to look on the small petals and see the little resin glands. I busted one an dwatched it stretch across the petal.
