am i ready to harvest? - Cannabis Harvesting & Processing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

BONGMACHINERY · 06-08-2006, 11:30 PM

the strain is sagarmatha's western winds (sativa) and it takes approximately 70-80 days to flower
im at 68 days right now
are any of these 3 plants ready to harvest, and if not can you estimate how much longer i need on them??
thx

I'd give them another week because the heavy sativa influence. Go to Radio Shack and pick up a small handhelf microscope for like $10. Snip a leaf off tht has some crystals on it and check them. If they are turning cloudy then it's pretty much time to harvest. From what I see though they need alittle longer.

Honestly from my exp. with sativas, you have a few more weeks to go, If you check the trich's with a scope or 30x jewelrs loupe you'll see the trich's are still clear, maybe a tad milky. Damn good looking buds you got there, wait it out till them trich's turn 50/50 amber and milky.

If you don't have a scope or jewelers loupe use this as a reference, but definately get a 30x loupe or higher.

These are nice references to have, save em to your disk for further reference.

I've got to agree with DirtySouth on this one, I'd say at least 2-3 weeks for peak maturity.

Yep, get yourself at least a 30 power loop and the little microscope at Rad......shak, does a really good job.. you should see the residue on the lens opening of mine. half and half, always been good even when its the color of your tricones cloudy white and amaber to dark amber and I always have wanted to paint a portrait of the scene you see when you look into a bud with a microscope Outta site even if your not tore down. But listening to the dude who started this subject I would bet even money that by now the plants in question are drying as we speak! Dude be patient, wait, in the end you gonna be proud......... And everyone: Lest we forget this is a weed we are dealing with...
