I always check the pistils first for signs of impending harvest. I have a GG4 AF that has been growing for 14+ weeks. The buds are big and bending the stalks so I gave it some support. However, at least 50% of the pistils are still white. Am I doing the right thing by waiting? Am I just impatient?
The trichromes are 50-50ish. Some milky some clear.
Could you post a pic of the buds? I have a GG going that is 11 weeks from seed tomorrow, and looks like it still has around three weeks. Not sure though, maybe sooner.
Gg will continue to fatten if let it. Here is a pic of a cola from a gg photo. Same same after flowering starts as auto.
Thank you. I look at both, just because I am already there. But I understand it’s the bud that counts! I think I need to just wait.
Ok. Cool. I have two large stakes in and a cord of plant wrap/tie- for tomatoes. I just have to wait another week. First grow with a larger tent, too. Was expecting bigger plants and buds but this took me by surprise!
Oh yea. Stakem. They will fall right over. Look awesome.
@JoeG im getting close to harvesting my GG4 and was looking at different post, i seen the last time you commented about it was almost a month ago. How much longer did you wait to harvest after the last photo? I seen you said maybe 2-3 more weeks.
2 weeks. I waited until the pistils were over 50% changed. The trichromes were frosty. Got 12+ ounces out of it.
@JoeG Thats a good size plant. This is the girl im going to be pulling in about a week. She is not a super tall plant but very dense.
Is that an auto? If so how long since breaking soil ?
Mine was 16 to 17 weeks. Sprout to harvest.
