Is My Durban Poison Ready to Harvest?

My first Durban Poison grow was a combo indoor/outdoor due to very short growing season this year in the upper northwest.

Does she look ready to harvest?

Hard to say, does not look too far away but seeing the whole plant would be better

I would say you are at stage 2 of 3. Final stage calyx's will form and swell, trichromes will turn cloudy maybe some amber.
Looks like you're right at the point that the white hairs are all red and receding. A lot of clear and immature trichromes still.

Thanks for the help!
Here's another photo.

I thought they were close but not yet. I was thinking maybe a week?

From what I read, it's a fine line as to when is the perfect time to harvest.

And there are so many variables. Each strain and even two plants from the same strain, can be at peak, at totally different times..

This grow didn't meet my expectations in the least. Very disappointed. Mostly at the lack of sunshine in our neck of the woods. Over 90 inches of rain a year and about about 4 months of good solid sunshine.

So I started under what I thought were good lights on 4/20. My plan was to let them get a good head start before moving them outdoors. In recent years, we've had dry early summers. Not this year. Cold and wet up to and past the 4th of July. Very short summer. So I wasn't able to move them out until July. Had them under pathetic lighting and really stunted their growth. They couldn't catch up in time. They ended up about 4 1/2 feet tall and about 3 feet in width.

The only real issue I had was spider mites. They decimated one of the 3 plants before I could remedy it. She was harvested first because they really did a number.

The other 2 seem to be a couple of weeks behind and are the ones In showing. I don't think they're ready and just needed some validation to that.

Thanks for the help!

Next grow?

I'm trying to grow a Sativa that also helps with Rheumatoid arthritis. Doesn't make me feel drugged and gives me energy to work.

Not easy to find.

So any tips and advice on these forums is amazingly helpful!

Still needs to swell and recede pistils more. Patience, and another week or two will net you more yield, and better effect. Nice job btw, she looks great!

Plant looks great but it certainly needs a few more weeks.
As far as a "fine line" for the optimal harvest time; I would strongly disagree.
It's easy (and all too common) to harvest a plant too soon, but it's very rare to harvest a plant too late.
It's more a window than a line.

Enjoy the DP! It's my personal favorite.
