Am I ready to HARVEST?

Hey guys, Im a noob...started out with a ton of problems...4 months later i think shes about done, flowering for 7 weeks. About 3 days ago I had 5% red hairs, now I have about 20% red hairs and I checked the trichomes, most of them are clear with round ball tops but I have pretty high % of red hairs. maybe even 25%...very concerned also considering the fact that ive never done this.

at least a few weeks to go yet imo me old m8 !

I'd say maybe 3-4 weeks to go still...The plant looks really good and I think the buds still have much more mass to gain before harvest

They haven't swelled yet, still a ways to go. Looks good though

You have done great so far, don't rush it now. I would say at least 2 weeks. Now the fun begins as she will swell nicely for you in the final two weeks or so.

Ya, as said, give it at least another week, you'll see them start to fill up more and will be glad you waited.

yeh i agree a few weeks AT LEAST them white ahirs arent even getting ther first brown yet,, patience man,, i know it l9ooks and prolly smells good, dont make the mistake of getting shit into your head that convinces you to pull early,, may be all good now but after its dried,, UL BE GUTTED!!! wait my man

One of the biggest problems I used to have was cutting too early. after I got the lights, heat, ventilation, food..... all under control I harvested early a few times. The bud was still good but when I learned to let the buds finish it was the best frickin shit I ever had. Cant emphasize enough how important it is to let the bud mature. I used to be tricked by HPS light hitting clear trichs and making them appear amber. Once you see true brown trichs though you will have no trouble telling the difference. try to get at the very least mostly cloudy.

3-4 Weeks it is, thanks a lot guys. Well appreciated. My only real problem is that I'm starting to see a few lower fan leaves die, and i Know the plant uses their energy to produce bud, but even the nodes of those leaves are getting weak and falling off directly at the main stem.

Anyone ever see anything like this? where the nodes get lighter in color, then you even see that they are bending down bc they cannot support the leaf anymore, then the node just falls off at the intersection of the main stem. is this normal?

patience patience makes for great smoke - GL
