New Grower Do you think she is ready for harvest ?

[MD to NC]

I'm not getting a response in my journal so I figured I'd ask here....

Here's my Easy Ryder auto from the Joint Doc, day 71. I've been giving her plain water for 11 days now. Fruity smell. Yellow leaves all over with some crispy tips, none really falling off though. 95% of the hairs are orange, red, etc... I'd say mostly cloudy on the trichs.

Just wanna know peoples opinion on if I should chop this weekend...Thanks for the help!

wow........I've read that during the dark period sugars and other shit are down in the roots and move their way up when the lights come on. Hence chopping while they're in the root will prevent these from being in the buds...not sure about this, thats why I asked. I'm new at this and would appreciate only helpful constructive answers. Thanks! :smoke:

Hey MD/NC, a lot of growers chop after leaving the lights off for a day or more. The sugar migration in the root/phloem parts isn't going to have a drastic effect on the bud-I'd argue negligable, at best. If you want to "shock the resins into production overload", consider leaving the lights off the day before you chop. Those who do that say it ramps up a final resin production to sticky up the works. Hope that helps.
