The best wayto deterrmine if the plant is ripe enough for you is; take a sample. Just one or two buds, dry the sample and do a taste test. Now if ya go by hair color on the buds ya might be short changing yerself, 'cause after the first hairs have turned amber, more will grow after a couple of days, I've let this cycle for 3-4 times up to 12-14 weeks of flowering, but I search for a good body stone because of muscle ache, but if yer looking for head high ya you'd harvest earlier. This also depends on strains but thats a whole other ball of hash:>D Also remember that the longer ya cure yer meds the more potent they get, up to about the third month of storage then it will slowly degrade, all depending on how it's stored of course:>)
thank you very much, ur rite mre hairs r coming thru in week 7 so iam flushing now and i fink i will give it until week 10, and i will take a tester in about few days, wen its ad a gd drink of water, any way 2 cure so i get gd taste?
what the ol' ape in the tree said .. yeap.. cant argue with that. He can ripe arm out sockets, lulz.. dont let him fool you with the body aches.. j/k nh... Welcome to Hip Forum Cannacane jnr...
Curing; acquire several glass jars, enough to hold all the dried mj (50% humid is optimum). Fill jars to about 3/4 full, take the lid off for a couple of hours every day for the first month (if you can wait that long:>) If ya wanna use some you'll notice it gets better with age though. Store the jars in dark warm place. If the meds are too wet when you put them in the jars they'll mold, bad, bad.
yeah man listen to steele dont go by the hairs..... thats just not a reliable method at all some strains will have lighter or darker hairs regardless of how ready to harvest they are like steele said look at the trichs get a jewelers loupe and look at the trichs that's what you judge the color of the darker the trichs get the more of a sedate stoned high you will get
what color should the trichs be for psychodalic stoned... ? personally i dont like to feel sedated and tired.
trichomes are the way and it depends on what you want. The cleaner less potent head high is when trichomes are all clear, the heavy head high is when approximately half of em are cloudy and half have started turning amber, waiting til most have turned amber will give you a more deep body high. of course strain variations a bigger role here this general principal holds true regardless of sativa vs indica properties
