    Default First time harvest and frost is here - HELP!

    Hi all, this will be my first harvest.

    • Unknown strain (bag seed)
    • Week 8 of flowering (plant is about 5 months)
    • outside grow (in soil) with no added nutes.


    question is, we are about to get our first frost tonight and then a week of rain. Should I harvest these now or try to wait out at least another week and risk it.

    From what I can tell the trichomes are looking milky but I'm having trouble taking a decent picture.

    If you have A way of covering it up, then I would do that and wait the week. You can wrap it up in platisc until the frost is gone. JMO

    Great advice..if you can cover it up, then that's the best option

    Chop it now mate...

    Whilst I appreciate that you'd probably like a few more ambers in the mix, a lower quality harvest is better than losing it all to rot!

    ^^^ I agree with M_C. Covering it for the frost would work but then a week of rain, big risk imo.

    Thanks all, sheltered her from the frost lastnight. The forecast is looking better so hopefully the rain will hold off and get me through till the weekend.
