Is this ready to chop?

[hash slinging slasher]

Strain: purple punch
flowering for little more than 2 months now

My guess is no but let's see the whole plant. ..?

no, wait till all the hairs are red and shrnking intio the pods they grow out of

thank you, I guess 1-2 more weeks left

2 to 3, IMO.

Don't even think about chopping until after April 1st. I say shoot for April 10th.

Feed them.

Mate I'd chop them immediately, personally as soon as I see Amber I chop - anymore than 10% Amber it never seems as nice. They turn Amber as they are past their peak so the more Amber you have the more it's degraded from its optimum imo.

 

[Gnome420uk]

To look at the buds they kinda don't look ready but to me the trichs are where they need to be. Why not chop 1 now, another in a week and 2 weeks for another so you can compare what suits you?

They could be chopped now, but it is still making significant numbers of new pistils. Up to the grower as trichs are “in the window”.

 

[Gnome420uk]

I find that as soon as my plants look perfect to chop they start spitting out new pistols anyway. The trichs are everything as that's where the the potency is determined. I'll be surprised if you take my advice as everyone else is encouraging to run longer but I wouldn't.

Don’t chop - let them finish “ when they finish “ .

The white pistils show immature calyx - continue grow / let it harden off and add final weight. Looks like an easy 3 weeks give or take.

You need to reduce nitrogen input then
You are missing quality by harvesting to early

 

[Psyphish]

It's a tricky questions; They're starving and have been for a while now. Keeping them alive and starving might just reduce potency, but giving them nutrients at this point might not improve them. Next time keep them fed for longer.

 

[hillbill]

The amount of new flowers on a couple pics are more than a late “surge”. I go by trykes but want much fewer new pistils.

 

[HydroKid239]

I only seen 2 possible amber trichome heads. I see 20x that in light colored pistils. I wouldn’t chop yet either.

 

[hash slinging slasher]

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks!
They are from seeds my neighbor bred, so I'm guessing there are some difference in their growth and harvest time.
Imma wait a week or two and harvest all at once

 

[Lagged]

Make sure to be checking the bracts for trich's and not sugar leaves

 

[Synchronicity]

It is a tough call on a new strain. i dont like over about 10 percent ambers either and mine are similar to yours. I am waiting now for more ambers and they now look about 90 percent "milky".

I have 2 buds drying for test purposes now- it is all good but we want the "best" which may also vary among growers
