is this plant ready to harvest? The main Cola anyways...

How is it looking guys? The yellowing of the leaves has me concerned or does it need another two weeks?

blimey shes still firing white pistils out lad can see a fair few i wouldnt like to say maybe a week ?? if ur trichs aint 10 % to 20 %amber ur not ready i think as far as ive read im new to lot of this but i will say @RM3 said 3 to 4 weeks so id say a week based on that hes usually pretty spot on with his advice

i just found this too funnily enough by @RM3 https://www.rollitup.org/t/are-they-done-yet-what-does-done-look-like.853978/

Another update...looking yummy

Another...

Took some of the popcorn buds and my oh my am I happy.
I'm giving her three more days of light then one and a half days darkness before I chop

the white hairs mean nothing, really. you want mostly cloudy and about 5 to 10 % BROWN(some people don't like the word amber?) trichs, thats when you chop.

Based on my last post doesn't it look about that?

Looks ready to me see some fox tails. Do what you need. IMO. It's time to arrange funeral service. Nice looking plant

Thanks! This is the best looking plant I've grown and harvested.

Close up!

id say thats looking colourful check down towards lower buds if all like that id take her for everything if not maybe half n half harvest ?

Those pics were right after I chopped. Wasn't much for lower buds.

So... I didn't water it for a week prior to harvest and gave it 72 hours darkness before the chop
Have it hanging from a string in the closet and had a fan blowing on it for 24 hours total.
Starting to smell way less grassy but almost more like hay now.
The buds don't feel damp and the buds feel dense when I pinch them

you want to let them hang till a stem close to the size of a pencil snaps when you bend it, and doesn't just flex. that usually takes at least 4 days, sometime as much as 10 days depending on the temp/humidity where you live. then i like to brown bag it for about another week, i find it really helps get rid of that grass smell before you start the jar/burp thing, which can take another two weeks or longer if you really want nice stanky buds

Thanks. I'm leaving for a vacation in a week so wondering exactly what to do. Will check the stem now

And the end of the stem snaps easily

And it comes out to a mere 16 grams. Product is nice looking but on the yeild

why would you not water her the last week of her life when you would want her to thrive during that time so she can put on weight for you? skip the 72 hours of darkness or let her stay under the lights for that time... drying her out is for after the chop. yield is low for a lot of different factors: veg time, strain, feeding regime, etc. you'll need to work on those; nonetheless, you kept her alive and made it to the finish line and that's what is important, so congratulations. good luck with your future grows.

i give one last good watering with plain water one week before i plan to chop, not really a flush, but i do try to get a good runoff, then i let it dry out that last week.
i tried the darkness thing, although i only tried 48 hours. it didn't seem to make any difference to me at all, but if you like it, go for it.
don't be afraid to experiment, but try to grow an extra plant to experiment on
