First Time Grower Am I ready to harvest?

Post image

I am kind of a noob, but I would say I see a lot of amber trichomes so I would assume I am ready.. What do you think?

Looks like you're asking when to harvest your plant(s). Make sure to comment to let people know how far along they are in the flowering period (days since lights turned to 12/12 schedule) or if you are growing autoflowers - how old the plant is.

Here are a couple resources to review:

Check the bud trichomes, not the leaves (they turn amber much quicker)

I have to admit the picture looks like from the leaf, but it’s actually from the main bud

u/Still-Program-2287 1d ago

Yeah that’s a leaf on a bud, take a picture of the actual bud

Looks like you took a picture of a sugar leaf. They tend to mature quicker than the actual bud. Make sure you’re taking a picture of a bract (bud) not a leaf.

This is a sugar leaf picture & those trichomes develop MUCH faster than on our actual flower (bud sites). Make sure you check the middle and lower bud sites on the actual flower so that it’s all evenly ready to be harvested. If only the top half of your plant is ready, cut it & let bottoms finish. You don’t want to harvest too soon, you’ve gotten this far!

I mean, if the rest of the plant looks like this you’re good to go, but it’s a little difficult to say with just the single picture.

u/Inevitable_Might6731 1d ago

This picture is from a medium high bud. They were all quite similar..

u/WILLE_W0NDER 1d ago

Chances are the buds closer to the light are more “done”, personally I like it that way because you get a nice mix of trichome done-ness throughout the plant. Your probably good to go then

They look pretty clear to me. They should be opaque white like thick smoke

u/Inevitable_Might6731 1d ago

You can’t see the amber ones?

u/AffectionateCook2235 1d ago

I do but that could very easily have. Been from being touched or brushed against.
