Hey yall, Im a first time grower...we have 2 females, both about 6ft tall, budding like crazy all over! Im very proud of my ladies!!

I am pretty sure they are a sativa strain...of what exactly I do not know. I got the seeds from a local grower who usually has only sensimilla but occasionally he will get a few seeds. Great bud nonetheless.

As a first time grower, I know the basics of when to harvest, but everyday my girls look better and better and I just want to make sure I do not harvest before they reach their maximum potency. I attached a few pictures for you all to take a look at, and hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction with some good advice.

Hope you like the pics as much as I do!!

You have tons of time left on those chicas! Enjoy the grow!

Don't harvest too early. Wait until the buds change color (purple, blue, grey).
A big change of color in fall will occur (green flowers with white pistils will be dark purple with brown/orange/darker pistils, you can't miss it). Pistils will eventually fall. But look at the trichomes with a jeweller's 10x or 30x loupe TO BE SURE on a sample at home (or backwards binoculars real close). Early buds are smaller and less potent. Once dried, they can be much smaller (depends on strain too). Sometimes it looks ripe, smells ripe but you're wrong: the trichomes were in fact all clear!!! The buds could have become much bigger, more potent and tastier. Trichomes will change from clear to cloudy to amber. People usually harvest at 50/50 cloudy amber. The effect depends on the sativa/indica ratio but clear trichomes will give a lighter high and amber trichomes will give a more couchlock and potent high.

How long have you been flowering for??

Yeah i agree on a month or soWatch for the buds to really get a burst and the buds will puff up. Thats a couple weeks till harvest time
