Is it time to........

So I was trying to master the loupe without massive success
But what do you think of them
I'm leaning towards cloudy.... But it's only day 46 since I flipped my first gals
What do you think wait or chop
Not the best pics bit best I can do lol

I'm still on my 2nd indoor grow and based on those big lovely crystally buds, you're a way better grower than me but even I can tell you that you have a long way before chop. Easily 3 weeks. Wait until 80% of pistils are amber. Good luck and patience my friend. Good job on the ladies.

Easily 3 weeks. Probably 4. The next 3-4 weeks are the worst. Cause they look done for about 3 weeks....but they are not.

So it is just...are they done yet...no...are they done yet..no

For 3 weeks.

That loupe could have gotten here 2 weeks from now and you would still have a week to get it right before it was done.

It's time to hurry up and wait.

More white hairs then red hairs....not even close.

I can see in these you’re not even in the realm of needing a loupe yet.

Got a nice grow it seems in the pics....don't mess the entire thing up by chopping mad early. I would use the next month to learn EVERYTHING you can about drying and curing because it will and can make or break your grow.

This is really getting out of hand. Trichs are NOT the the only thing to go by. And despite many using them as an absolute as to when to harvest, many harvest early because of the trichs. That illustration that has been floating around for years that many go by is extremely misleading. There are other factors to take into account such as genetics. I've grown sativa's that will not turn amber and stay mostly clear all the way until the end. I've also grown plants that started showing amber 4 weeks into flower.

I don't even look at the trichomes anymore. You should learn how to tell by the overall look of the buds as to when it's ready. Once you have determined that it's in the harvest window you can then start looking at the trichomes if you feel the need.

That plant isn't anywhere near being close to harvest. You have many more weeks before those are ready to harvest. Forget the trichomes and breeder times for now. Keep those plants healthy and growing. Or chop them down based on some cloudy trichomes and harvest a bunch of fluffy grass like cannabis once it's dried.
