Xaint Vicioux Registered on Feb-18-2008 More User Info Message #84505 posted by Xaint Vicioux (Info) May 09, 2008 19:57:12 ET ok so its been goin pretty good with flowering and ferting no issues since ive last chesked in. im guessing i have about 2 more months before harvest but as stated im new to growing and am not sure what to do for harvesting. ive read on here to not uproot but to cut the plant at the base. then cut off all the big leaves. (should i just cut off the big ones that have branched off and keep the ones closer to the buds?) and hang in a dry dark ventilated area for a couple days. (can i have a fan blow on em? and is there anything specific im looking for when i know theyre dry) then put them in paper bagsfor a couple more days. and after that put them in glass jars to 'cure' is this the jist of it or are there any better ways to go about it? any info is appreciated also ill post some pics below to letcha see how my babys are doin (very large pictures)

You outta be proud of that 1st try. The hardest part of harvest is the waiting for the peak ripeness. There is an old bit of advice floating around that goes "When youre totally positive they are ready to harvest....wait two more weeks. Thats kinda true, the waiting the last month is a bitch! They look real nice, smell real nice, and you will end up visiting them several times a day, in hopes they will magically reach full maturity every hour. Your pics appear to be an Indica hybrid, so you might expect them to take 8 to 10 weeks for maturity. Do a search for Radio Shack Microscopes, and you should find all the info needed for trichrome coloration at peak harvest time.

(not sure i wanna try that since this will be my first harvest ever) any truth to that? or should i just just wait for 75% amber tric's? also ive read on here that flushing a week before you plan on cutting will give a better taste. that true as well im just trying to reconfirm before i screw up my first harvest so any information in very much appreciated :)
