Need opinion on harvest

I am on day 60 of flower. The last few days my girls look like they have been getting smaller. They feel like they are starting to dry, and are extremely dense. I really feel like its chop time. I have a carson zorb to check the tricomes but my hard drive took a shit on monday. Anyone ever see the buds start drying while still growing? Do you guys think its harvest time? Sorry about the pics. I tried to get some without flash but they are a little blurry.

I would

based on your explanation and the appearance I would chop

Those are fat buds. What light system are you running and what strain? Looks like a really good job to me. I say cut it down and post harvest results!

i concur, they look nice and swollen, most of the hairs receded, ready for the next phase.. nice job btw...

Thanks. I had them under 200 watt T-5 the first 3 weeks then the t-5 ballast went out. Then I used a 400 watt Hydrotek HPS only ballast with an open hood. Strain is Holy Grail 69. It stayed really short under 2 ft with 5 mains and 1 side branch each main. I dont see it yielding to much but for the size it wont be bad.

Been drying for 48 hours. Ill post final results before they go in jars.

It's always good practice to keep a manual magnifier for instances like this, it avoids confusion.

Well incase anyone was wondering I pulled 71 g for holy grail 69, 65 g from purple bud and 61 g from an afghani test. It was a good run in my opinion. The bud seem really tasty and give a really up feeling high for about 30 min, then knocks me out. I gave out about 1 gram of each strain to 8 everyday tokers and was extremely happy with the results. Looking forward to my next run!
