Are they ready?

Weouthere · Jul 16, 2020

Hey all. Second grow about done. Chopped one plant already but it was messed up.
The remaining two are Icicles (the purple one) and ATF (last 3 pics).
Can’t tell if the calyxes are done swelling on either, having a harder time on the Icicles.
ATF has visible ambers on some of the calyxes.
I’d like to chop them at the same time so I can dry in the tent, neigbors are cops!
Both are on day 65 of Flower now. Been checking with my loupe but it’s not the greatest. Looking to buy one of those plug into your phone ones.

I guess I didn’t really ask other than the title- are they about done?
the icicles has tons of white pistils but they seem retracted and I see some ambers.
ATF I see plenty of ambers but pistils don’t seem fully retracted. Any opinions?

If it was me, i'd give them another 10-14 days. I still see white hairs on the first plant, so maybe she will swell nicely.

Lookin' good man. If you don't need the smoke, just keep going.

good stuff, thanks for the reply man.

The plant I chopped the other day is getting jarred/bagged today, so I’ll have space if the ATF is done earlier than the Icicles. It’s all working out nicely
The atf might get the chop earlier just because a lot of those leaves are getting crispy..

Always a fun time when you are harvesting girls back to back to back.

I spent the day on amazon to get a usb microscope like your referencing. I went with dyno and a cheaper variation returning one I like worse. Curious what you get the cheaper one was like 40

Looks great, nice work. Definitely close, I’m hoping to chop one this weekend too but it’s only been 8 weeks, It has been ahead of the pack, couple are weeks away yet.

Getting close. I would wait tho. Give them a week. Wont hurt a thing. They look wonderful!

Here they are again today!
I think they could go another week, but what worries me is the dried up/dead leaves on the top colas. They go deep into the buds.. should I cut them out?
Trich pics included.

Weouthere · Jul 20, 2020

I also chopped the ATF last night. Looks great, biggest buds I’ve grown yet!

Checked again tonight, Icicles is showing some ambers finally. The sugar leaves that are still alive are yellow/brown with amber trichomes! Pointless, but cool looking.

I'm pretty worried about the sugar leaves though.. I cut off a bunch of dead ones today. Theres some really crunchy dried ones on the top colas. I think you can see some in previous pictures. Should I keep cutting them off? or let them ride and take care of them when I trim? I feel like leaving dead material on the plant isn’t smart.. any advice is helpful.

Chopped icicles 20 minutes ago. I’ve been lifting the pot/feeling the soil the last 3 days and no change. It was still heavy and felt full of water, but the leaves seemed to be done for, dropping and yellow. I don’t think it was taking up anymore, or if it was it was minuscule amounts.
The hairs turned orange almost overnight. Sticky as all shit.. it was hard to do my pre-trim. Smells freaking awesome, so fruity!
Accidentally clipped off a couple nugs so those are drying on the xbox for a test tomorrow night. Hoping for 3-4 oz dry off of each the Icicles and ATF.

Are they ready?
