First time grow harvest questions

Hello,
I would like to know if my plants are ready to flush because it seems that they are closed to harvest. I don't have a microscope but my phone has a very good camera and zooming in I can see that the trichomes are all mostly cloudy. (see pictures)

- Im growing in coco 2 Gorilla Glue autoflowers. One in a 3.5 gallon pot and the other in a 2 gallon pot
- Both are 64 days from seed
- I'm using Bio Bizz indoor nutrient pack (bio grow, bio bloom, top max)
- 300w LED

I want to know if they are ready to flush and if not how long should I wait to flush and harvest.

Thank you.

Looks like they are almost ready wouldn't worry about flushing doesnt do much to benefit, also phone camera cant tell how milky they are as well as a microscope spend $15 on amazon and get one worth the investment

thanks for responding. the pictured that is zoomed in loss a little quality, but from my phone I can see that the trichomes are about 90% milky, and 10% clear. I've spotted just about 1 or 2 amber trichomes in each of the bigger buds

Beautiful, but I would give them a couple more weeks or so. They will fatten up.

Thank you!. That's what I was thinking but I'm a little insecure being my first time and I want to harvest at the right time.
I noticed that some of the lower popcorn nugs still have white pistils and look very young. I don't think they are going to fully develop by the time most of the plant is ready, is that normal since they don't get the same light as the top colas?

I dont understand how you buy a tent/ light / soil ect and then skip the part the tells you when your done.

I spend all this money and time, and then when it comes time to finish .. Im going to ask a bunch of random people on the internet if its finished.

I understand asking and going .. I checked my loupe and I still have a question .. but all these dudes are like ... nah I just skipped that part YOLO

lol.

I didn't skip anything. I've been reading all about grow and harvest process for months. I just want some advice and another point of view to get things on point and I thought this was the right place.
Thank you anyways for your useless response.

Wait .. you didnt skip anything ? Wheres your loupe ? Reading for months and still didnt get a 6-10$ piece. This is the right place, but you didnt even try .. 75% of you dont ... Hey Im gonna spend 800 to 1000 on a tent / fert / tools / seeds /fans / ect ... but when it comes time to the part that counts .. Im gonna not even buy the tool. Its not just you, its 75% of the people comming here asking ... is this done ?

"I didnt skip anything" ...... lol

Ya a lot of what you read thesedays is bogus but let me echo most here who have taken the time to work out the details -

We dont flush and yellowing at the end is not desirable.

Also there is no point in looking at trichs till your more experienced so just go of pistils and calyxs till you got that down to a T.

When you harvest hang dry in an open room till its ready to smoke and the taste and smell have come through - once you find this point its ready to sell smoke inject or jar.

There are of course many ways but to start with id like to see you learn the basics which you will need to progress onto the higher stuff and help you avoid fail and hay tastein buds.

Hey man relax, he says he can see them with his phone while I personally cant with mine and mines pretty good he says hes got it no need to come on here bashing people for asking a question, his looks like it's closer to harvest than some of the others I've seen on here asking if theirs is ready it's his FIRST grow hes not gonna know what they look like done without asking, either hes asks or risks chopping early and losing quality so either answer the question and go or just let someone who will answer it without ridiculing him

The asking is never the problem as I stated .. the problem comes down to ... Should I not cheap out and ... buy a 6-10 loupe so I can see what I am asking other people to look at.

A guy asking .. are these trichs done ? Is this ready to be harvested is not a problem, most would be happy to answer .. but none of these people even have a loupe ... ya i have some camera from 2017 .. its really good can you tell me if its done ? .. dude we need another 10x mag to make sure ... buy the loupe.

No one needs to look at trichs, when it looks done it will be and to start with thats the simplest and best method.

Most threads on when to chop here are not judged on trichs either but simply some bud shots - from those above most have stated it looks close but needs longer.

Someone trolled that without a loupe you cant judge peak harvest ages ago and it was very factually wrong :-)

Thank you. that's my point. See this is exactly why I never post in forums. Because there are some people who tries to make look others like ignorants instead of just answering the same questions you probably asked when you where growing for the first time.
Mullalulla, who said I spend 1000 bucks? I got a small tent, seeds and led light as a gift from a buddy of mine that moved to another country. My phone is 2019 and has 3 cameras including macro lens with 40mega pixel. And yeah I know about the loupe in amazon, I order the exact same one in amazon a week ago from china for $1.5 but I haven't receive it yet and that is why I'm using my phone. so I'm guessing your statements means that you are just a douchebag making things up trying to look cool in a forum for "random people" like you said

Be thicker skinned, maybe the guys having an off day or something but to start with try and ignore rather than rise to it and cause hate.

Yes the bottom takes a little longer to fully develop. Some people harvest the top and then wait a couple weeks to harvest the rest. And I wouldn't even look at trichs yet personally. I only take out my microscope at the very end once they have fattened up, and I really look just for curiosity sake. I chop em when they're ready, so don't really go by trichs. Hope this helps.

Charlie just tell Mulla to shut up or block him from everything you post. You will find more help on here then trolls but every once in a while they find a post they want to shit on. Your plants look good. as far as an auto flower i dont know never grown one. You should wait until you get about 20% amber trichomes with the rest being cloudy. A digital microscope or loupe would help a lot. ususally foilage will start to die off once they get close. Main thing to watch is the pistols on the plant. Once they turn brown and start to curl a bit then i start checking trichomes very closely. Everyone has their own method this is what I do. I would say another couple weeks until they are ready. Give it another week then post some pics.
