are these READY TO PULL?

hey there, i had these outdoor and were budding for about 3 weeks and i put em indoors under a 1000watt hps, they've been under that 12/12 for 36 more days so i'd say they are about on day 57? Think these are ready to pull yet?

looks very nice...its hard to tell because ur lite is on but i would wait a week.

man they look really good and tasty! mmmmm......

not sure if there ready or not though, someone else should be able to tell you

The way to tell if a plant is ready to pull is by the color of the resin crystals. take one of those eye peice magnifing glass that jewlers use and look into the resin. if the crystals are white they are not ready to pull. you are looking for an almost amber color then they are fully matured.

bingo, go with this!!!!

It looks like the tops could be done. A trick i seen, you could just harvest the top half of the plant, cutting it half way down the stalk. Or cut down till you get down to buds that aren't ready. Then give these buds another week or two. It is kinda of a wild idea chopping the top of your plants off, but it works. Rarely are the lower buds ready the same time as the tops, becuase less light penetrates the lower areas.

deff the trichome guide above. in pic 4/5 you could see some trichs on the leaves and they look to be standing up pretty straight. check the color of the trichomes but i would say your good

a couple weeks left id say

here's a better close up of the lavender.. so if they are standing up straight does that tell me something? (the trichs)

Id give it less then 4 days. That one looks ready minus the small tip of new white pistil growth, the trichs looks bent to me.

if the trichs are bent, does that mean it's gettin heavy at the top and ready to harvest?

^YES
i would give them 1 more week then 2 days FULL DARKNESS, they will be perfectly ripe and ready for harvest

arent they in FULL DARKNESS once i chop em? so your meanin leave em planted for two days in total darkness before choppin?

thanks

Given that most of the pistels are still white/yellow and not receding in the 2nd post you had pics in you probably have a while to go. at least a week but probably closer to 2. you will get a lot more weight if you have the patience to let them pack it on imo. Trichs are important in determining readiness and the type of high you will get but you can't discount what the rest of the plant is telling you.

"The Stichting Institute of Medical marijuana (SIMM), the first company to sell marijuana through the pharmacies of Holland, has been investigating the medical possibilities of cannabis, together with TNO laboratories and the University of Leiden. One of their discoveries has been that to keep the ripe plants in the dark before harvesting could increase their potency.

SIMM’s growers separated a crop of mature plants, harvested half of them and kept the other half in absolute darkness for 72 hours before cutting and drying. Analysis of the resulting dried buds showed that some varieties had seen an increase of THC of up to 30%, while CBD and CBN remained the same."
