Trouble reading today's article? Click here: Issue #575 - Sunday, April 30, 2023 Dear Fellow
Grower, In today's issue... - There are two ways to look at this article. The first approach is to use it to compare to your plants that are also nearign harvest. This will help you determine if your plants are ready to be cut down. The second way to look at this article is to just
enjoy all the pretty pictures. I'm confident this method will boost your happiness meter by at least five points.
- Heat getting your plants down? Too much heat in the grow space makes plants droop, get deficiencies, and suffer other strange problems. Learn how to use a strong fan to vent all the heat out of your grow space so your plants thrive in a breezy paradise!
- Get ready because there's more cannabis weirdness on the way in this week's "Trophy Pics of the Week". Don't worry, it's all still very cool and pretty to look at, but there's definitely an in-your-face weirdness going on that you'll just need to see for yourself. I'd describe it as an inviting kind of weirdness. Still weird, but not "ew" weird.

Ready-To-Harvest Cannabis Picture Gallery 😲📸🌳🤳 |

Lately, we've been getting a lot of questions about when is the best time to harvest your buds. A few weeks ago we talked about how to use a magnifier to look at trichomes to determine the best time to harvest, but today I want to talk about the easiest and most common way growers use to know when buds are ripe and ready.... what buds look like! Learn when to harvest cannabis buds for the highest potency,
biggest yields, and best effects with this "ready to harvest" cannabis picture gallery. Cannabis buds come in all shapes and sizes! Although variety is the spice of life, it can make it a little confusing to know when to harvest your buds based on how your plants look. But if you harvest when buds are ready, you’ll get the best yields and potency, so it’s a good idea to try to harvest at the right time if you can. Harvest marijuana
buds at the right time for the best bud quality and potency. Not Ready
Baby buds (budlets) look like a ball of white hairs. These buds have many weeks to go! If your buds are all white hairs, they’re just getting started. Expect much more fattening from here. Watch out for pollen sacs!
If you see pollen sacs instead of white hairs, it means your plant is growing male flowers and should be removed from the grow space immediately. Why toss male plants? Male flowers don’t contain much THC and their pollen causes nearby buds to grow seeds. Immediately remove any plant that grows pollen sacs instead of white hairs. Learn more about male plants. Still Not Ready
As the marijuana plant buds get closer to harvest, they thicken, and those white pistils start to darken and curl up. You’ll notice your buds are slowly getting thicker and denser. However, if you still have a lot of straight white pistils, like this bud, it means you still have a few weeks to
go. Ready to Harvest!
You’re in the weed harvest window when most of the pistils have darkened and curled in. However, sometimes it’s a little challenging to identify when buds are ready since each plant is different, and buds can look very different at harvest time. So today, I want to share lots and lots of pictures of many
different cannabis buds that are ready to harvest so you can see the full gamut of variation! A bud is ready to harvest when most of the hairs darken and curl in...

"Who doesn't like the harvest? Enjoyed your article on trimming. I liked the part about stem disposal. I'm in the northeast and we have a wood stove so that's where all my leftovers go. They help heat my house! And no nosey neighbors to worry about. 🤣✌" ~Joe I'm so jealous. Burning stems in a
condo is generally frowned upon 😢. Enjoy your freedom! ~Sirius |
"Happy 420, thank you for guiding me to another year of bountiful harvests.
All my best to you both.😎" ~William - Baltimore We had a fantastic 4/20 and I hope you did, too! Whether you did or not, I hope everyone has a happy 4:20 today! ~Sirius "Just read your article on cats and cannabis. I work at an animal hospital and when I started growing and saw my cats going after my plants I asked one of our doctors about it, here's the scoop. Cats and dogs have more cannaboid receptors in their brain than we do so they feel the effects much stronger. Also their bodys don't metabolize cannabis very well so the effects last longer. (I'm jealous) So fan leaves are fine but bud's should be off limits. Cannabis is rarely fatal to animals but can get them really
high and have the equivalent of a bad trip. If you see your pet acting strange or lethargic after being exposed to cannabis you should probably take them to a vet, but if not you can put them in a quiet room with no distractions and let them sleep it off. Thanks for a great newsletter, I'm a much better grower thanks to you. .
~Wayne
I'm not a veterinarian, but your advice sounds good to me. Now that I think of it, you probably don't want to train any animal to eat your buds. If you really want to get high with your cat, catnip is safe and the strong stuff makes cats go absolutely bananas! ~Sirius

"Outdoors, Autoflower, Blue Amnesia about a week from harvest. Pretty heady for an auto. 😎" ~Rumblefish You weren't kidding, these two are looking real chunky and I love it. I'd love to know how they turn out 👍

"First time grower her 🙃, I just noticed these lil corn looking things growing by my plant? I took one out and it looks like there's a stem? (there's a pic). I also took a pic of the rest of my lil crop and the rest are normal looking? Just wondering if anyone has any info, etc.. if they'll harm my 3 leafed baby🪴 or if it's a normal thing. Thanks"
~ReignOne Those are actually mushrooms. They shouldn't harm the plant, but you also don't want them there. Mushrooms show up when there's too much moisture in the soil, so try watering a little less or less often. Also, you took fantastic pictures 👍 ~Sirius "This girl is a Sweet Seeds Sweet Cheese XL Auto, she was topped early. I've NEVER seen buds like these!! Witchy goodness!!" ~Lady
Nugwitch I agree, you're definitely growing a little weirdo plant. We like weirdo plants around here 👽...and weirdo people, too 😂 ~Sirius
Scamming Hits Record High |

|
That's 7.74 billion dollars in case you were wondering
|
Scams are the crime du jour I think the chart above speaks for itself. That data is directly from the F.B.I. for the year 2022. People in their 30s get scammed more than anyone, but people 40 and older tend to get scammed for more. It's also worth noting that the 60+ group could potentially cover a lot more people than the other groups. Either way it's crazy
news. If you're reading this, you're increasing your awareness and thus, your ability to sniff out a scam. Remember to trust your instincts and always avoid giving out information unless it's absolutely necessary. Stay safe, friends! Make sure to watch out for seed scams! Remember: Real seed businesses don't contact you. They let you
contact them. If anyone messages you to sell you seeds on social media, look out! It's possible they will take your payment and send nothing. Always take a second to think before sending money to anyone, especially if they contact you (whether by DM, text message, phone call, email, etc.).
