Harvest time question

Post by frankthirtyspears »

Hi guys, here is my 8 w/o Bubble Kush auto, i think that the harvest time is approaching but since it's my first one i'm not 100% sure about the situation. Rqs (the seedbank) suggests that After 8 weeks usually everything's ready or close for this strain.
I would be really grateful of you guys could give me some clues. Here's some photos.

There are still a lot of clear pistols I would think another week wouldn’t hurt it

:i agree:

Have you got anyway of checking trichs?
That's best bet, when I've harvested before I tend to wait until I start to see them amber up (only just on a small amount) then they come down, it all depends on the effect you want, harvesting at different times brings out different aspects of each plant 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hi guys, here after a while. Now she looks more yellow and is definitely over the seedbank harvest suggestions. She is 71 days old (the royalqueenseeds recommends about 56) and altough not all the pistils have shriveled the thricomes looks pretty good. On the trichome part i'd very appreciate some suggestions. Should i harvest or still wait? Here are some photos (i know the quality isn't very good but i got only a phone). Thanks and have a nice day :)

I wouldn't go by Royal Seeds Recommendations - or any packet recommendations. These are pretty much promoting the quickest time not the right time.

Have you started flushing? What medium are you in? I would wait another week personally as it's a combination off a few signs that will tell you she is ready (from my research)
  • Pistols turning brown (my Royal Queen Seeds Easy Bud Auto - the pistols were brown well before she was ready)
  • Trics turn amber (my Royal Queen Seeds Easy Bud Auto - took about 7 weeks before showing) and hard to tell with your photos
  • Leaves turn yellow. Your plant looks to me like it is finishing but doesn't look finished.
Looking at yours if she is already in a flush then I would still go another couple of days because worst case scenario your gonna get more mashed ;o) If you have not started flushing I would think about how long you want to take that.
