Outdoors..When To Harvest..?

[Pedro_De_Pacas]

Hey whats up people, I have never grown outdoors before. I have no idea when to harvest outdoor buds...I live in the North Eastern U.S . Is there a particular time of a certain month to cut down? I honestly am clueless.. I have a couple pics, If anyone wants to give me a headsup of when I should harvest my crop...any advice would be greatly appreciated...Thanx ..PEACE

you got a little while bro. first indication is hairs will start to turn orangish-brown. the trichromes will go from clear to milky to amber. i like about 20% amber trichromes at harvest. the buds will also swell up at harvest time. good luck!

Thanx for the response High&Lonesome...I know about the trichs turning..I like mine 20% too...I guess I should have worded my question better..what i meant was what month will the trichs start turning? Im so used to growing inside..and knowing when I can cut..but this outdoor growing is all new to me, and i was looking for like an estimate date so to say...Sorry for being confusing....

hey Pedro
the trichs are probably starting to turn right now, but are probably still mostly clear

judging by those pictures I would roughly estimate Oct 1.

do you know what strain it is? or how many weeks she has been flowering?

nice job by the way, she looks very healthy

Rat Fink..Thats exactly what I was wanting to know..Thanks man.. Honestly I have no idea what strain it is..or how long she has been flowering..Im just kinda letting mother nature take course. It was bagseed that i planted like almost a year ago, and have been taking cuts since then...that one there is either the 3rd or 4th generation of a particular kind that Ive really got to like...lol.. Thanx for the kind words..greatly appreciated..PEACE

sttb, thats what I was kinda hoping for..Im getting anxious..so hopefully they will start fattening up. I cant wait...PEACE
