hi guys
ive got 3 autos on atm atm 8.5 weeks. pineapple ex is 9 weeks,
rhino ryder is 9 weeks and Ak is 10 weeks, my question is will my 9 weeks plants lose a huge amount of potency if left to harvest at the same time as the 10 week. tbh my 9 weeks plants dont look ready yet at will probably be ready at 10 weeks and my AK probably will be ready in 11?
any helps great guys, thanks

Hey @realer_dn_most . When you say it's a 10 weeks seed to harvest strain I guess you have calculated the time the breeder have given on their Website? If so, it's not always necessary they will be ready in the given time. Sometimes they write it's a 12 weeks seeds to harvest strain but could be ready to chop as soon as 10 weeks. If the company advertise it's a 10 week strain I think it's just a guidance on the way. If you feel unsure this awesome community will help you to say when it's time to do the chop. I normally chop when the overall look at the plants looking ready - when it's look like they don't have much more to give. If you have a loop, a magnifier you could look at the trichromes. Many people prefer to chop when they are milky with little amber. Me myself, if I would go for chop before they were amber, almost before they get milky. But that's just me. I like to get a head high instead of getting chouchlock. I'm not sure how the rules are here, but I feel I could give a hand as I have been given a hand so many times before.

thanks mate, my buds are still not ready right? and when i checked my trichs under 60x mag on my rhino there seemed to be a few ambers but maybe it was just because the LED lights were still on?

if my 9 week plants are left to harvest with my 10 weeks plant will it lose potency alot?

I'm more of an overall plant look guy, and if looking at the buds they still have Alot of white hairs and they don't look ready. You will definitely not lose potency on those girls by leaving them 10 days more if that's what you want. Overall I would say picture 1 and 2 is about on the same maturity. Those 2 you could probably chop at the same time but it's longer between those two and your AK. I would have wait for 1 week and take a new look at them at that point. But if you stay around you girls you could have a new look in just a few days, but I reckon atleast 1 week ( maybe 2 weeks ) for your Rhino and pineapple. So your AK maybe is ready in 2-3 weeks.

Here is a photo on when to chop to get the high where you want it :

Im not using this chart, but it could be a help for you.
I look at the girls and go by overall look.
I don't think your Rhino and pineapple will loose anything if left to chop together with your AK. It's not like the trichromes will get fully amber over night. Have a look at them once and a while if you feel unsure. We don't want you to loose any potency or yield. Just put up some photos in one week and let's see how they look like at that time.

thanks bro, if i leave them all until the AK has matured and cut them at the same time, will the pineapple and rhino still be potent?

I know what you want me to answer here. Trust me, I want to say YES, that's not a problem. But it depends on when you are going to chop your AK? If you go by the tricomes and chopping her with 50/50 clear/milky I would say you are 100% fine. IF you want to chop her when she's 100% amber I would say that could bring down the potency in the other 2 as they will probably be more then amber at that stage. It all depends on how you like your high and how fast the AK will mature. Like I say, up with some photos in a week and we will have a look at it at that stage. But to answer you question, yes you could probably chop them all at the same time if that's what you "have to" do.
