Harvest & Curing when would you harvest these?

[wheredaweedat]

First grow from bagseed, so they, to the best of my knowledge, are photos. made every n00b mistake possible. And am probably just being impatient.
Patience has never been a virtue of mine..character flaw.

Looking for as close to a uppity/mental head high as I can get, seeing as the bowl essentially never leaves my side...aka I smoke..A LOT. lol
I know its got a lot to do with the genetics that I initially started with...but seeing as Im working from unlabled bag seed...

These 2 ladies are mother and daughter- and if memory (between my guy and I), and extensive google searches are serving me correctly, is JtR...
HOWEVER...
I'm only on day 49 of 12/12 (they vegged at 18/6 for 60 days)....
does an uber long veg mean that the plant was more mature going into flower to start, in turn making the actual FLOWERING time shorter?
Or no not at all Im just trying to justify an early harvest? lol

Im thinking of putting the daughter (george cloney.....dun dun dun CHHHH BAZINGA! hahah) into 24 hours of dark tonight and then chopping (Side Note- I flushed her about Cant do anything like that for Teeny (Georges mom), since she's potted with one that is not as mature. (The other possible seed was bubba kush, which ive read can take up to 10 weeks.) So either way, it'll make for an interesting experiment with the extended dark and if it makes a lick of difference or not.
So here they are - let me know what you think.
Keeping in mind were going for a- uppity type high and b- george will be receiving 24hrs of darkness prior to any chopping taking place.

w-w-w-what would you, w-w-w-what would you, w-w-what would YOU do?

Have you scoped you tric's yet? what you want is, cloudy maybe 5 % amber?

 

[wheredaweedat]

I have.
I've got a 10-30x jewelers loupe...and for using a galaxy, i think those trich pictures are pretty damn good, lol

lol I guess my question is really...do they look ready/at that point?

I say at least another week.
Give them time to get potent.
When harvested too early it will lack potency, be harsher and just not as good as it should be.
How long did you run the Mom the first time?
Longer veg time will ONLY make sure that they are sexually mature and larger.
Not speed up flowering, sorry.
Wait at least another week.. OK?
You have been growing them for 109 days, why rush it now?
I know smoke..
But good smoke is worth waiting for..
Think Paul Masson " I will bottle no wine before its time "
Repeat after me, " I will harvest no plant before its time"
Nice looking buds by the way, please give them time to cloud up.
You will be glad you did..
I promise.
I blew up one of those pictures.
It looks about 60% clear still.
If you take it now it will be ok, just not as good as it should be.
Happy harvesting.

This is the first time for the mom (teeny). George was/is the only cutting from her.
As its my first grow, I wasnt even expecting the clone to root...but low and behold, haha.
I dont want to keep Teeny around as a mother because she came from bag seed. Not that a good mother plant cant come from bag seed but in my situation too many (avoidable) n00b mistakes were made..she never thrived. Always stunted/very small..(but interestingly enough always more mature than my other female, BigMamma, not the clone).

Which picture did you blow up and look at the trichs? When i open them on my POS in paint, they open huge orig. size pictures and perhaps I just dont know how to tell what Im looking at, which is entirely possible lol like...when i open the 2nd picture in paint, i see about 30% yellowish 2% amber 50% cloudy and the rest clear which in my eyes, makes whatever bud that picture is from, at prime harvest for the type of high im lookin for....but again..completely possible idk what im looking at/for lol

Thank you btw - all done with CFL
