Harvest & Curing Time to hervest for a first time grower

[BudsLover]

Hey guys
I'd like a really strong and smelly(i wasnt really satisfied with the taste and smell from my first hervest with the same strain at 69 Days, but the high is really strong) stuff so i let her go but i havent got any experience to know when i can start to flush them. She is 76 days old auto colorado cookie from dp. The main cola looks very nice but the bottom needs more time.
I had some issues as the light was so close thats why the main cola turned yellow
Any help and advice much appreciated

you can keep going man, some people go 50/50 cloudy, clear, amber ,whatever, I think its time to take her into the deep red...thats where the real magic happens

nice frosty nugg though

push that gal another 2 weeks than flush for 2 more weeks...still a lot of green on her....deep red trichomes

Thank you mate, well appreciated!

years and decades ago, People just waited as long as you can to harvest, the longer the better, full red trichomes was more common...

its a powerful difference from what you see today...step over into dreamland, late harvest borders on the psychedelic....

everyone pics for near peak THC these days, but we know thats just a very small part of the effective cannibinoids ...as the trichs turn more and more amber /red , lots of the THC is converting into CBN...and other compounds, resins and oils really start packing weight on the buds as well...and flavors get stronger...

if you never tried late harvest, give it a shot.

Thabk you very much dude i will keep it in my mind. I never tried as this is my first grow ever so im already really satisfied about this girl i want to leave and her sisters more longer to get nice weight and really booom high

 

[TomAuto]

Yeah, It will be worth it. you will get much more weight as the buds will be heavy with resins internally, the flavors and smell will get much stronger with heavy terps...
the overall potency will be much stronger.....the effects will be more lucid

you've probly never had anything even close to late harvest, its something you gotta make yourself. and when people do they dont often share it very far outside there circle...

 

[BudsLover]

Thats what i want! Thank you again mate!

yeah its funny how nowadays people push for the "peak THC" still. While we know today that there are so many synergy effects between how the different cannibinoids inter-act ....Your gonna see more late harvest stuff I think in the not so far off future....more so for variety I think...and possibly medical.....some of these plants may just produce new and exciting compounds when "overly" ripened ....

Like Durban and white widow, you look at there cannibinoid profile and they don't really give the effect you would expect just by looking at the profile...both are pretty unusual profiles......and both are really great IMO, would make an excellent cross, some "white poison"

Yeah man i saw a lot of hervest here when i think the buds so far from the finish, those just want to grow more. U can get high of course from the flower which is about 6weeks old but how much can you gettin' high from the 9weeks old... After 70 days those weeks can award you easily in my opinion as well. I want to leave mine at least 3 weeks or bit nore i will see
