Just like you, I am trying to make a ‘good judgement’ call about our Colorado weather. We need to figure out how urgent it is to ‘take down the crop’. I like to let the plants live as long as the weather permits. How do these female pot plants know when to get into high gear? It makes me wonder.
So far I have only been taking those branches that were really ready to be clipped off. When all of those creamy white pistils are done producing THC-Frost, Tri-chomes, sugars…then those pistils die and as they dry out they turn pretty colors and further, as those pistils dry out they get brittle and ‘crooked’. Look for that. Once those pistils die, they cannot facilitate the fertilization of the female ovary calyx. So they do not produce any more male pollen attractant (THC). It is time to harvest that flower bud cluster. When the female ovary is too old to ‘get pregnant’ then the pistils no longer need to produce any male-pollen attractant. To put it another way, when the pistils die off and turn colors, then the seed-making ovary is no longer viable. At this point in the life of this pot plant… I’ll impatiently wait 3 or 4 more days and will then clip that branch (cola) off and leave the less mature colas to keep on growing. With some varieties of pot, I’ll pick and clip on the plant for up to15 days. I do not want to clip off a flower bud until it is really ready. Rippers… cops…weather, all come into the equation now. It all makes me wonder.
Most often, all of the flower buds on a branch turn color (they are dieing off) at about the same time…within 4 or 5 or 6 days of each other. Usually the outer most clusters of flower buds (the tops) turn first. I do a selective cutting…leaving those interior (less mature) buds to grow and mature in the sun light. This is if the weather is still good.
If your pot plants get wet and then the night time temps fall way below freezing, it’ll probably die ( and wont taste good). If it rains on your crop and then turns windy… you’ll have a lot of broken branches. You’ll have to either try to repair that branch back onto the plant or else you’ll have to harvest the flower buds from that broken branch.
When the TV weather gal says that we’ll have snow or sleet or hail or even several days of wet windy weather, then you will have to figure out just how many days before that real shitty weather sets in. Pay attention to those TV weather gals. Keep on looking ahead… don’t be surprised when the weather mandates you ‘do a harvest’.

By the end of September, I have only been watering each plant about one gallon per day. As we get further into a cloudy October, I am watering about one gallon per plant every other day. Also, I am losing my visual blockage cover-crops…lilacs, privet, Buckthorns etcetera. Since my pot plants are very aromatic, we are hanging scented dryer sheets on the fences. Personally, I need some more patience.
To reiterate… we are growing Sensimillia pot. “ Sensimillia” means that it hasn’t gotten pregnant…without having been fertilized. This puts these girls in a state of sexual frenzy. Don’t let ‘em get pollinated. They grow more and more tri-chomes and sugars (frost) the more desperate they get. Female pot plants are programmed to get pregnant (pollinated) making seeds for the next generation.
I’ve already written many articles about pot harvesting-drying-curing so I wont be redundant. Some years you’ll be able to grow pot outdoors with only a few emergencies until harvest. Every year is a little bit different… it’s a fun challenge. This season we only had until Oct.10th… but this year that was all the time I needed. It is not a matter of how early you get your plants growing… it is a matter of how late in the season you can let them grow (amount of sunlight…length of days). This season, by the 10th of October, all these plants were ready to be harvested… not always the case.
These pot plants have been surviving without us humans for several thousands of years. When all is said and done, even the newer hybrid pot plants know when to react to the sun-moon cycles. Pot has been doing just fine without any help from us humans. It all just makes me wonder.
