Hello all, my second year growing

See all those white stigmas? That means the pods that would normally make seeds are still developing. This means your buds can still put on weight. Once the buds stop making those and most if not all have turned red or whatever they turn for your strain, then start checking the trichomes… you dont want to pick the buds before they max out, you could lose 25 percent of your total harvest.
This looks done… but Im going to let the old evenings draw out some more trichomes and terpines.


Landrace Lebanese red pheno.
Can you see that the stigmas are all red? Only 1 white one trying to pop out. This is probably the best time to chop this plant
In contrast this bud is obviously still making more bud
this black pheno Tashkurghan Afghan has about a month more to rock. Lots of white stigmas yet.



With factors such as drying space, weather, not wanting couch lock, and just plain old time really, I decided to start with the black kush. Happy beyond happy over here
