Is my girl ready to be chopped?

As the title states. I only have a 10x loupe and I believe she’s close to finished if not ready now but I can’t really determine if the trichomes are 50% Amber or not. What do you guys think?

Also I’d like to add that this was started in october, put into flower end of November or so and it was in a shed with low temps for about a month.

I just chopped my first grow, one thing I noticed was suddenly the plant smelled like good weed. I had amber but was not sure whether to chop. I waited until the white calyx were only one here, one there.

I’ll definitely consider that! I smoke near her so it’s hard to determine how much she actually smells too.

Did you flush her before putting her to bed?
I’m not sure what you mean? I didn’t purposely want her to go to sleep for the month. I just started flushing today as the leaves are starting to yellow, there was no reason for me to flush earlier.

I ask cause I finished off my outdoor plants indoor under lights and before I stuck them under the lights I flushed them outdoors. Then I flushed again while they were under the lights and allowed the pots to dry out completely before harvesting. The drying and curing process went smoother than I had experienced the previous summer and I think it was based on the ending process. Good luck!

looks to me like N toxicity has stunted the flowering. It is hard to say when she will be ready with those leaves looking so shiny and abundant in N.

What was your feed schedule like? Perhaps correcting this could help a little, but I wouldn't expect anything great from this run by the pictures. Next grow you should try posting up what your soil and watering regime is, with what brands of soil and nutrients; and users here can help you dial in how you feed your babies . The feed charts are almost always way too strong

My plant looked like it should be ok to harvest, then it went thru a growth spurt on the tips and the whole plant looked like I had misted it for a few days with thc globs, then it got really smelly in a good way. I was going to harvest it about 2 weeks earlier than I should have, but I listened to a grower's advice.. Patience is rough, but be it.

It looks like it’s had way to much N. Those leaves should not look like that at this stage. I’d chop and learn from the experience.

I kind of just winged this one with what I had available. I didn’t expect much and I just started flushing so I may just let her run another week or so and see what happens, I’m not sure honestly.

get a jeweler's lope or something to allow you to see the trics, 30x power/ability works fine

are you foliar spraying? leaves look very shiny,,, you have quite a few white pistils still too,,,
I only have a 10x loupe. No spraying just N toxicity from what everyone’s saying.

Next run I’m doing hempy buckets with gh nutes probably.
