I have to agree with this. While maturity can be somewhat of a preference thing, she looks done.

Thank you guys for the input, it really helps. I will be taking this down tonight
Would you say I may have let this go too long? I have another strain that is less amber, I'll see if I can grab a shot when the night cycle is done so I can get some opinions.

Fuck, I hope you chopped that last Friday and just today posted the pic.

I agree with others, I generally check the actual flowers, and I generally check a couple of locations on the plant. As far as preference, I'm not a big couch lock fan, so I generally take them down when they start showing a little amber (less then that). Then again, sometimes I'll have a dozen to cut, so they get chopped when they get chopped, sometimes a little more amber, sometimes a little less.
Thanks Pinworm. I know I get a little grumpy sometimes, but I'll always do my best to help.
Peace!

This would match what my journal said I should have left, 25 days - thank you for the info.

Thanks, that was actually going to be another question - I was confused as to how I could be so far along yet still have so many white pistils. I understand now that the leaves are not what I should be looking at. Also, thanks for the earlier props on the pic - shot with a macro lens. I just got in a reverse lens adapter in to get closer. What percent of pistil maturity do you start checking trichs?

Hard to say, differs for me. I don't really look at trichs that much, just to avoid amber when I'm in doubt or to see the difference between the top and lower buds. Best indicator is calyx development, the rest is more genetics and preference.
In any case, bump this thread with a few new pics in a couple of weeks.

u can let her go longer or chop now, it all depends on personal preference.

Thank you for taking the time to post all that - I have a greater understanding on what to look for. I am not a fan of couchlock so anything to avoid that is a good thing. I am growing 4 strains and actually have another strain that is getting close and is supposed to be the first to finish. Two of the strains are 1:1 CBD/THC ratio strains, so I might be throwing in some pics of them for a second opinion as well.
I'll do that. Thanks again!

I was re-reading your response and wondering about when you said "sometimes I'll have a dozen to cut" are talking about buds or plants? Removing the buds as they hit maturity seems like would be the way to go - if some reach maturity before others...I agree with others, I generally check the actual flowers, and I generally check a couple of locations on the plant. As far as preference, I'm not a big couch lock fan, so I generally take them down when they start showing a little amber (less then that).
