Would you harvest?

I’ve got 4 girls at day 2 of week 9 in my tent, was wondering if you would harvest some right now or wait until end of week 9. I can harvest then separately since I dry in another tent.
Pictures in order are:

I would say 2 more weeks.

It's not as simple as alot of people make it out to be, but its not all that complex either.

The way I see it, pistils should go brown or orange and recede a bit at the top, and that's the sign you're in the last act. I like to see the plant slow its metabolism a bit, drinking/eating less, and the lower growth looking more like the top.

I'll get the scope out to check the condition of the trichs to confirm my suspicions if I feel like I'm getting mixed signals or have schedule conflicts that require immediate harvest, just to see where I'm at so I can have reasonable expectations for the strain.

I think you're in the harvest window, but a few more weeks wouldn't hurt in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for this! What would be the difference if I was to harvest right now vs in 2 weeks? I’m mainly looking for high terpene levels and am probably going to wash a good portion of my harvest to press hash rosin.

Out of my wheelhouse.

Lots of variables at play, I'm unfamiliar with most or them as I just grow for flower.

At this point it's up to you, gorgeous plants. They look healthy enough to go as long as you like and done enough to pick some of the ripest tops if you need some pot.

Thank you so much! It’s my first grow so I’m amazed by my girls every time I see them.

When growing for flower to smoke I make sure the flower is ripe before harvesting, when growing for trichomes to make n smoke hash I harvest based on trichome ripeness

To avoid making a new thread, I want to post some pictures of my plant too. I'm getting some pressure to get rid of it asap, so I'm wondering if this is considered harvestable
Strain is special queen 1, i got it from RQS.
its been on the 12/12 schedule since November 11th. I Included some photos of from that day.
