We're just giving you shit because that's the number one asked thing on here, and today's been a busy day. lol. Call it a hazing. You handled it well so now I'll give you a real answer.

It looks great man. I'm impressed you've made it this long without chopping, but they will be better in a couple more weeks. The pistils will recede and the calyxes will swell more. Wait a week or 2 and post more pics and we can help. #1 mistake made by new growers is harvesting early if you ask me. Even a lot of old time growers don't know what they're missing. They're too stuck in their ways, and have never seen a mature bud.

You inspired me to go an extra week or 2 on my harvest, but only if it needs it and if I can handle the wait.

I disagree, from what I see the hairs have receded, and the trichs are all cloudy with some amber showing up. As long as there isn't a lot of clear trich heads then its good to cut. Once they turn amber they are degrading. You never want 20% amber, I like about 5%. The other sign is if you see less than 10% clear. All strains are different but that's a basic guideline.

If you like to harvest early that's your prerogative. I like my plants to fully mature.
