@Buzzzzd, I just harvested mine yesterday as she was ready... sticky, very limited amber trichomes, and smelling wonderfully! I've got one more to come in still but it's at least 2+weeks to go still, maybe longer!
Fortunately, the weather here is holding and for the rain that's in the distant forecast I can always setup the "Easy-Up" cover for her. I don't think rain would hurt but I'd like to keep her from any potential mould forming in the beautiful buds! Cheers!

When I hit about 25ish days in flower I just clip the very tip of the bud off. Maybe 1/16th inch. Very little. This "wounds" the bud and the plant sends hormones out to heal the flower!! Instead of getting a little spear of a bud you get nice fat thick buds!! It definitely works. If it scares you (I was terrified the first time trying it!!) Just try it on a couple. Within a week or ten days you'll clearly see the buds that are back built compared to the ones that haven't been. They'll have more spear shape whereas the back built ones will be thicker. After the first time I never looked back. As a matter of fact after I saw it working on the first few buds I hit the others on the same plant. I do it to every single plant I grow now. Happy Halloween!!!What is this????

Dropped 2 autoflower seeds little less than 2 days ago (40ish hours) and I've got tails already!! Gonna put them in solo cups until the photoperiod girls finish. Wizard is a strain by a guy on 420 Magazine. It's 60% indica and 40% sativa. The other one is Wookies x Wizard. 70% indica and 30% sativa. I've seen a couple people pull over 5 ounces from each one so this should get interesting in about another 100 days give or take. I plan on cobbin that up as well. Happy Halloween. It was a treat and not a trick!!!

Never heard of that !!!! The learning never ends!!!!
Thanx for the info!!Thanx!! I have four - one was looking real yellow and a bit different from the others and she was blocking my way thru the greenhouse so I thought it wouldn't hurt to do a staggered harvest. These have been in the greenhouse since early Sept. If everything goes OK I'll have a boatload so if some is crappy from early harvest there should be plenty to replace.
I was just a bit curious if Sativas or Mulanje was a bit different from the Indicas when it comes to harvest signs.
I've had a bit of bud rot and some blight so I'm watching everything like a hawk...they are starting to think I'm some kinda pervert!!!!

I may as well drop a few pics just for fun!!!
As part of the staggered harvest I decided to add this gal...
and these are part of the first bunch of Mulanje Gold cobs.......I think there is nine....
close up... this between the sweat and the cure....each cob is about 10g...
the gals are struggling to remain beautiful.....

Just put together my first cob, haven't weighed but probably 10-15 grams here compressed down by hand. This was drying 5 days before trimming and packing, still probably a bit on the wet side. Putting on top of lamp ballast for 24 hours before I'll dry and reseal for 2 weeks. I can already see some sweat forming inside the bag.
Beautiful brother I dont look at trichs for when to harvest sativas i take them when they are no longer pushing heaps of fresh white pistils and the aroma is at its strongest.
The reason you look for amber is to make hash from indica plants imo.
If 95% or higher pistils are red she's ready for cobbing.
Those cobs in the picture look perfect dont wait too much longer you want to get her at her peak or she will be too stony.
Remember were after tripping gear not sleeping gear ha ha.
You had better start making bricks man your going to have a LOT of bud.
Please post more pics of the buds as you harvest.
Picks please brother I cant wait to see them.

Music to my ears !!!! Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day!!!!!!!
Thanx for the great info Tang!!!!
Ya think !!!!!! Some of those colas are more than a cob now!!! I think I will have to jar a bit and also decarb some and make some dust for oil etc.
Hey, I puffed a bit of finger hash today...that was a first!!!! That Mulanje is a very sticky girl !!!
So the cob has been sealed up for about a week. I cut it open and the smell is a deep pine/lime/fruit smell. It was definitely moist on the outside so I'm leaving it out for a bit to air dry. I'm putting pictures of before and after to compare the color. Happy Friday!!

I opened some I cobbed in July and it needs drying as it was sticky, stinky and moist absolutely mind numbing aromas as well.

I have these to try over the next few days before I reseal them ha ha.
It was hard choosing which one to try but ended up trying the Mulanje x Swazi and its not disappointing ha ha.
My face is numb and I can feel a very trippy high coming on hence the pics ha ha.
Last time I had this stuff I felt like an Egyptian god Nubis to be specific I had a golden head and walked like a crab it was eppic so fucking high it was unbelievable.
These were from drier buds no sweating so they are terpy as all hell.
From left to right Mulanje x Swazi, Mulanje TT and Zenith.

I broke them open to show the insides. Once resealed they will form back again into a chunk.
These were from my fast 9 hr light grow earlier this year even though the yield was only about an ounce each
Its more than enough to sample the highs to see if I want to grow them again after Christmas.
I still have the Panama x MulanjeTT, The Mulanje x Colombian Gold/DL, KA5 and Destroyer to test but they will only be ready for an early taste at Christmas (3 months aged).
I cant wait to try the Zenith it smells divine and all the crystals that are forming gets me very excited ha ha.

Absolutely the finger hash is very plentiful on those plants make it into a ball and seal it up to age, fresh its so so but heated for a day like you sweat cobs and then aged for 3 months its like LSD.Music to my ears !!!! Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day!!!!!!!

No kidding I had some from my last cob making and it smelt just like the best Pakistani hash from the 70's!
Heat and aged for Christmas you will never know where you are other than heaven.

Tang, you are a bad influence on me!!!!!!!!!
Man, I am going to be more attentive to my fingers and scissors tomorrow!!!!
That's kinda what I wanted to hear Tang!! Thanks master Cobster!! Appreciate the heads up. As soon as it feels dry on the outside it's getting sealed back up till next Friday. Thanks for sharing the process!!
