What happens if i harvest too soon

So for your own sake, learn from this. And don't take this wrong, I'm not flaming you, just telling it like it is. Those are in rough shape, and if you blame the plants, history will repeat. It is so bad, that I would wipe them out and start over, they aren't going to amount to much this late in flowering. And I would look at every aspect of your methods, growing medium, nutrients, water, air, and your schedules for everything. Sometimes when we make a mistake, we try too hard to fix and wind up with more trouble.

Just take inventory of your methods, and make sure everything is done in moderation, but one thing is clear, some adjustment is needed. How did those plants look when they were in vegetative cycle? Anjinsan Well-Known Member. I had a crap version of northern lights as well. Any chance they were from Seedsman? I had northern lights from them that went 10 weeks and were still not nearly ready.

Considering that NL is supposed to be a 8 week strain max After I chopped her? I noticed she had hermied as well. Edit: I looked at your pictures The telltale sign of harvest-ready weed is when the hairs of the plant, or pistils, have fully darkened and curled in.

If your buds are looking thick and dense, but there are still some straight white pistils, it's not time yet. However, opinions on harvest time vary. Stoney Girl recommends pulling your buds when the pistils are still transitioning to their new color.

At that time, you'll get the peak of what your strain is producing," she said. Feuer's recommendation was a bit later in the budding process. The second way, if you only have the naked eye, is to see when 80 percent of the hairs have gone from white to red.

Maybe you prefer one way or the other, maybe it's somewhere in between. Many believe that the bud has different effects depending on when you harvest. On the roof of WW , our pistils are about 50 percent transitioned and we are looking to harvest sooner rather than later, for fear of bud rot.

What is a trichome? Trichomes produce cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids - all of which contribute to the flavor profile and strength of your favorite strains. When timing your harvest, you gotta have an eye for the little things. A magnifying glass can be helpful in those final days of growth to really nail it.

However, by carefully monitoring your plants, you can actually engineer the type of high you want to achieve. For a lighter, less serious high, notice when the resin glands are just beginning to turn cloudy and keep a close eye for the next few days. The NL have been on the jars about a week and the GG just a few days. Piney and citrusy with a beautifully strong and uplifting high with minimal lethargy.
