Harvest or wait? Please help

[GrowinDro]

Im 56 days into flower on my first grow. 1 of my plants seem to have stopped doing anything. She was drinking about 1 gallon of water in hydro every 2 days. Now shes only used 1 gallon in 5 days. She actually looks smaller and feel less sticky than she did 2 weeks ago. Most of the tricomes on the main cola are milky. I am not looking for a couch-lock feeling. Should I plan on harvesting soon? Check out the pics and let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Looks to me like you got a few more days to go it looks fine to me though. Another good way to tell is when like 80% of the heirs are red that's a good indicator that its matured enough

looks good, but no where near ready imvho...

get a scope or jewelers loop and look at a sugar leaf neer the bud. cut it off on a piece of paper the trichs look like a golf ball on a tee. look for most cloudy with some amber

Thanks for the replies. I have a carson digital microscope Ive been using. Most of the tricomes are milky but I havnt seen any amber yet. Im not sure if shes looking different since I lowered the humidity from 60% to 45%.

Not ready. Another week to go. If bud formation has slowed down, it's a sign that you are close to harvest. Wait for 90% of the white pistils to turn orange/red/brown and at least 10% of the trichomes to turn amber for best result.

Okay guys, I was planning on waiting another 2 weeks to harvest. Upon inspection of my 2 plants today I noticed 1 of them is making seeds. Im not sure if they were pollinated from a harvest I was drying, she was stressed or just bad genetics. Im very disappointed and decided to pull the plug... The lights will be off for the next few days then I will harvest. Thanks for all you help

why pull early just cuz of seeds?? that's kind of silly imvho.. seeded bud is no less potent then sensi, but immature bud surely is garbage, again, imvho..
turn the lights back on and take the grow to the end. you've made it this far.. don't make a huge mistake and waste months of time and effort and chop early.. trust me on this..

100% agree. I have chopped down plants with fully mature seeds that went straight into my seed bank.

Immature bud is good for making hash. Your plant(s) are not ready to harvest.

Okay, I let the light come back on the light cycle so they got about 16 hours of darkness instead of 12. I did see I have some nanners on plant #1. Plant #2 is the one with the seeds and is nowhere near mature as #1. I guess just ride it out?

Haha if you want sleep medicine, yes 80% red/brownish would be good. But if you want high the content to cbd then go by around 60% red/brownish hairs.

High

Lol my input there was just a general rule that allows one to decide when their bud is done. It differs from strain to strain and hair color on any strain doesn't determine what the out come of a strains high will be so you're incorrect.

Thanks for your opinions guys, I decided to harvest at day 68. Boy this thing is full of seeds... This is the last time I will use bagseed lol. Overall it was a fun grow that lasted over 90 days. I have another plant that Im gonna let grow for another few weeks. I will post a few pics. I will continue to update over the coming weeks. Thanks again.
