Harvest & Curing First time and harvest is close just looking for peolpe to share there thoughts

[Townbike]

Hello everyone so this is my first real grow and I'm pretty pumped .. so I got a lowlife auto random strain but she's 60 days old and is pretty dang frosty I'm fairly sure she's almost done.. the leaves are in rough shape could be because she close to the end of her days or from some ups and downs through out but with all considered its probably a combination of the two.. I have some pics , camera is not the best but I think it will help.. the pistil have all turned Orange for the most part from the middle up but the bottom still looks like it can use some time.. the trichomes look pretty milkly it's hard to get a good zoom on them.. just in case anyone wanted to know she's in a 3 gallon pot, ffof soil and running GO nutes and she's under a 220w solar flare led.. basically just looking to see if anyone can give me some insight on how much longer I should give her .. I know pics are not the best but I'd appreciate anyone's time..

I should also ask , should I be giving Just plain water or should I feed one more time then just water,? Once again many thanks my friends..

ohhh bro, shes screaming out to be taken. lovely plant you have there, very impressive for a first grow.
Some take them when the trichomes are milky, @ Peak THC. more of a head rush high leading to a stoned high rather than all amber = just coma weed knockout high, drugged feeling. some love it tho, good for sleeping..
But Peak, all cloudy is my favourite time to harvest as I love that 'active' high.
So in my eyes mate, shes eating all her leaves, looks mighty rusty and frosty and I bet she smells divine.
so, shes ready.
Last feed is down to you, some say feed plain ph'd water, some feed little amounts of 'flush' formulas to them, some feed all the way through. many different opinions on that so im not gonna open pandoras box, but imo, I use a flush formula 'lets rinse' by growing edge technologies for the last two weeks.
as your so late in the flowering I wouldn't, I would take her, if you feed her now or just give lots of water you raise the risk of her developing mould right in the middle of her buds. Again, my opinion bro on how I would play it.
Overall, thats a danged wicked plant mate, well done.

Haha that means a lot my friend , yeah from what I can tell triches are pretty milky think I'm going to give her some ph'd water and when's shes dry it might be time lol I'm pumped but just gotta get to finsh line lol last thing I'd ever want to see is molddd.. everything comes together pretty dang fast

She really did fill out , from the way she looks I'm hoping it's a decent yeild but then again I just might not know what I'm talking about haha.. quite the learning experience but a fun one

oh I think you'll be more than happy with her bro, I would be chuffed with one like that.
Keep the fan on her middle bits and that'll keep the mould at bay.
better still if you have one of those thermometers with a external RH probe on it, stick that in between the stalk and a bud.
roughly at bottom of the main cola. then you can keep your eye on how high it is.
its amazing how much having a fan blowing directly at it drops the humidity

Thats a good idea for checking rh and I'm lucky I live in a fairly dry area soo that helps .. I just gave her a drink hopefully it's her last .. I just looked at the triches still a few clear ones , do triches change fairly fast I'd imagine it will be 3-4 days till the pot is on the dry side witch is the usual ..

If this is your first grow, you should have harvested two weeks ago when it was too early, but you've already blown it and done a proper job!

 

[Townbike]

Haha I like that

lol, aint that the truth, patience is the hardest thing to deal with. Trichomes still degrade even after chopping bro, so those few clear ones should turn milky. Trich colouring is also not the only way, some of my old school mates prefer to see if they are leaning over,. top heavy. then they harvest no matter what the colour. Always been good and a proper high. Not the 'wanting to get horizontal' type. lol
