Is it ready to harvest

Someone will automatically say two weeks longer....if they aren't in your grow room, they don't know

I'm no expert, but I've asked this question and have used this info for my grow

things to check:

1. Tricome color, look for mostly cloudy,
Search for more detail on this subject, you need a microscope for this

2. Pistel color, mostly red, looks like they are "drying up" and retracting into the bud

3. The stink! Major increase in aroma when the buds are ripe for picking

4. Do they look like they are done to you? Look at this thread for finished bud photos. Do yours look like this? https://www.rollitup.org/t/whos-got-the-fostiest-buds-lets-see-how-frosty-a-bud-can-really-get.330370/page-584#post-13798941

5. What did the seeds pack say? How many days to harvest?

Enjoy your harvest!!

I don't need to be in his grow room to tell you that plant is not ready...do you actually think it is?

2 weeks more was a guess...that's why i said 'or so" , as it may require even more than 2 weeks

BTW: I never even consider what the "seed pack" says....as that's just a wild ass guess

Nope, not ready but we know nothing more than the photo show, so this is all wild guesses which is not helpful at all. This person is asking for help I think.

I try to give info and experience, not wild guesses. 2 weeks is the standard answer, why not give more info and let the grower decide based on an educated guess?

2 weeks was an educated answer...unlike your dumb ass comment to follow the instruction of the breeder

picka bud, dry it, try it, study it, magnify it, smell it, notice the plant up taking less? see the trichomes going to amber?
less watering? grow bible asap.
enjoy!

It's amazing how plants that were needing water every other day will suddenly go up to 5 days when they're almost done ...that's always tripped me out ...good point.

I have always followed the suggestions of my breeders, but backwards. When the flower finishes I look at the finish time info again and see that they were right once again, full cloudy during the time they said most every time.
Now I know all kinds of things can stall this, like poor light, temps, c02, air circ, humidity, errors, bad watering/growing habits, etc., so if someone thinks these breeders are lying....do a check on your own room, seriously, I been there did this, ....and got the truth every weekly harvest now.
99% of my flowers have finished within the breeder specs over 8 yrs. the first two years of my growing...not so much.
I suspect this has much to do with my growing/feeding/watering/drying habits being so expensively similar to a really good breeding room, like those I learned about from my favorite breeders, and oh yeah, in the first chapters of cervantes grow bible.:P

Curious, what would you check for that's not shown in the photo upon entering his grow room?

What makes you think "2 weeks" is a "wild guess"? People who claim long flowering but appear to have a 3 week flowering plant never get told 2 more weeks.

Looks like it needs another two weeks.
Take a picture each week so we can see if it still needs two weeks.
Eventually in a few weeks we might think it needs less than two weeks, anyway two weeks sounds good.

Doesn't show in the picture. The picture looks like a plant with time still needed to finish. The pistils being white and the buds not appearing to have swollen. Those are the two things visible in the picture. Can't say without pictures that show the crystals. If they were my plants I would probably harvest before 25% were amber but my plants would have pistils that were brown and buds that have swollen at that point. Show us some more pictures, it's been 5 days since the last pictures, lets see if they changed.

It needs more time. Since others have said 2 weeks, I will say 3-4 lol..

We cannot tell from the picture, you need to examine it up close with a loop or high power magnifying glass, but it definitely "appears" that it needs quite a bit more time from that picture.
