HI everyone. Ill make this short and sweet. These have been grown in promix using tiger bloom about once a week after flowering. Today is day 60 in flower (girl scout cookies) Do you think they are ready for harvest? Under the buds on the stalk they looking like they are starting new growth, new little resin glands starting. Will this growth continue for another 2 weeks or so? They dont drink as much water now as they were before, It really seems like everything has slowed down.

There pretty close. I'd let em go for another week with nothing but water so they use up the nutrients in them and have a much better taste when smoked.

you really cant tell unless you have a 50x handheld microscope because the sugar the thc comes from goes in stages, if it ambers though it should be pretty visible
usually when the sugar is clear and start bending they are good to go when they amber the taste and smell and high is much more relaxed so i would go with either one depending on whether or not you're outside with friends or sitting on the couch
the pistols on the buds are good indicators too if the pistols have all browned then that means you're at least going to get as high as you could, sugar typically doesnt amber the same time the pistols do... it usually takes another ten days for the sugar to amber
but yeah if you've been using liquid nutrients you have to flush the plant with water, so whatever you've been watering just use water for the next 14 days so the smoke isn't harsh.. I know he said a week but i think that's cutting it close, I would wait another 12 days IMO because with 12 days you can water it 3 times and the plant will send it off into the air or whatever
i know it's really hard, really if you can get bud from someone else then I would wait as long as possible and spend as much time as i could curing....
it's the summer and i don't have time to cure it so I'm probably just going to flash dry it at 250f for an hour lol it breaks the thc-a into thc without vaporizing it and it makes it more vapable, but if you grind it at that point it loses potency.. so you should grind it before hand, because something about the thc makes it more brittle it def works and on top of that you only need to flash dry as much as you're going to smoke/vape
