Can someone tell me to be patient?

I know, it's been asked and told a million times I'm a complete noob.

For the experienced folks, at precisely what date, hour and second should I pluck these? When the moon hits 3/4? Na just joking!

At least 2-3weeks? 4-5?
2 different unknown strains running. 1 plant seems "not well" her sister turned transformer on me, so early retirement. (Front left with what looks like fox tailing but not?) Edit: I'll clarify that there were 4, the sister is front left.

I know a piece of string is as long as the spool holding it but any advice would be appreciated.

Be patient.

Looking good. perhaps a few more weeks.

Patience young Pond skipper. 2 more weeks

Patience grasshopper! At a minimum 2 weeks, probably closer to 3-5 weeks. When 95% + of the pistils have browned and shriveled and the buds have swelled, and you have some amber trichomes, then it's time to consider chopping.

I'd like to thank everyone for helping me remain patient. Unfortunately the universe has spoken and now is the time. Smoke alarm maintenance on the 1st. RIP

Go on clip a bud..nuke it. burn it

Sounds like harvest day is the 30th then.
Be patient till then.

I get this because I'm currently out of nugs. Definitely be patient!

I need to have it cleared out and packed down for the smoke alarm service on the 1st.
If I was to leave harvest another week, would it be ok to store it in a cardboard box, for 24hrs without risk of mould?

The inspection window is 830-5. So I would need to pack down the tent and carbon filter the night before, chuck the buds in a box and then set it up again the following afternoon.

The other option is I harvest in 2 days and let it hang for a week at which point I would be less concerned about 24hrs of storage in a box.

30th would be too soon. Weeks. Buy some to hold you over. You will lose a great deal of potential harvest and sacrifice quality by harvesting now.

I have a smoke alarm inspection on the 1st. I had a property inspection some months ago where I was able to put them in boxes for the day. It's not really a possibility at this stage.

Not a legal state? If it is, let the inspector see them. Good luck either way. Some of the buds look further along than others.

No it isn't.
Also, I could count on 1 hand the number of times I've smoked this year. Used to be a daily smoker for about 15 years. I have indulged in butter from the leaves at flip.
(They are 7 months old due to poor growing practices and not flipping because property inspection was due)
I had to cut one of them that was throwing bananas a few weeks ago, it's was still sticky as fuck and yielded 40g dry. Such a shame as it was the best looking out of the bunch.

Personally i wouldn’t chop them just because of workmen. I would keep them in pot and find a garage or van that could keep them out of view.

Big ass cardboard boxes ( to hold each plant safely ) tape it closed and mark them xmas stuff kept right under their nose.

I love it when people make me 2nd guess myself.
It's gonna be a bit of work. That's basically what I did with my property inspection. But my mate was overseas at the time and left his 4wd here and there's no way they'll fit in a Suzuki swift
