Hello!! #Madamegrowers we return with a post related to the end of the cycle of our weed. This moment is known as the marijuana harvest, and it is highly anticipated by all growers, because you want to enjoy all those buds that they have grown with so much patience and love.
In fact, there are times when the eagerness of the growers makes them harvest earlier than they should and throw all that cultivation work on the ground. You have to know exactly when to cut your cannabis plant.
HARVEST THE MARIJUANA
At Madamegrow we are going to answer the big question that all novice growers ask themselves: When do I have to cut the plant? o When is the plant ready to harvest?
There is no single answer to answer this question. The answer depends on many factors that must be taken into account in your crop.
Next, we are going to see all these factors that we will take into account to know if the plant is ready to harvest or not:
1.- RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SEED BANK.
You always have to keep in touch with the seed bank, not only to ask this type of question, but many that may arise throughout the crop. For example, when is the month of flowering, what percentage of thc do you have or cbd, when you cut it, what should you do …
They will always recommend an approximate harvest date, and we must take it as a first reference and know how much to have to take a more exhaustive look at our crop. It is an approximate recommendation, that is, it is not a data that is 100% fixed, since it can change depending on whether it is an indoor or outdoor crop.
2.-THE COLOR OF THE PISTILES OF THE BUDS.
This factor is one of the most important and totally visible, but we can get to confusion, because we can know the maturity of the plant according to the changed color of the pistils.
These pistils are also often called hairs or hairs. These hairs have to change their color from greenish to amber and from this to brown as the shoots mature. This fact means that the harvest period may be close. As a general rule, if we harvest the plant at that moment, the psychoactive effect is more powerful, while if we wait and harvest when all the hairs are brown, the effect is more narcotic.
Despite this recommendation that it is visible at the same time can cause confusion among growers and is not one of the most reliable ways to verify that the buds are already there.
The confusion can come because the hairs can turn brown for many reasons other than maturity, such as rain, periods of drought or wind, all this can alter the appearance of the pistils and cause a harvest that is too early.
On the other hand, there are other types of seeds, the varieties of marijuana that produce white pistils even though all the trichomes are amber in color. At Madamegrow we recommend that you use a manual lens to accurately verify the maturity of the trichome when possible. For this it is necessary to look closely at the trichomes.
3.-THE OBSERVATION OF THE TRICHOMAS OF THE NUTS
For this method we would need a magnifying glass of at least ten magnification, in case you have a microscopic magnifying glass of 50 magnification it would be perfect.
Here we must observe the trichomes of the weed plant to see if they are at the optimum point of maturation. This point is when the trichomes have a mushroom shape and when they have turned from a crystalline color to a more white and amber color.
If we had to choose one of these three techniques to find out the maturity of the cannabis plant, the latter would be the most reliable to start your harvest. In any case, you can use these three techniques to be 100% sure.
Normally the plant comes from the end of flowering, where you have to enhance the buds, with fertilizers to get giant buds. At Madamegrow we have the perfect product to fatten your buds to an incredible size.
- It is applied in the last stage of flowering, at the beginning of the fattening of your therapeutic plant or hemp plants, the “Bud & Flavor” phase, giving with it the final push they need to obtain a spectacular harvest.
- Get explosive buds with Bazooka Bloom, heavy, aromatic and with better flavor with this super concentrated recipe.
Before cutting the plant, remember that you have to wash the roots. If you are a good #Madamegrower and you have done an analysis of the three factors and have already decided to cut the plant, you should look for an optimal moment: when there is a low relative humidity to avoid that the humidity reaches the interior of the bud. We can make the planting cut in two ways, we can cut the entire plant or cut by branches; We must study the way that is easiest and most comfortable for us to harvest.
The next step is the manicuring of the marijuana, this step consists of cutting the large leaves of the plant and the leaves without resin. Then we will cut them and put them to dry in a ventilated and dark place where it is short of light.
