Here is some new pics, most of the pistil are now orange. There is not much whites one left. I think i may harvest it or i may lost it or am i wrong and its still not ready??? I know the bud are small but i'm a neewbie and its my first grow.
Please let me know what you think.

Every new pics are from a different buds (oh and yes, there is water since it was raining a little bit today):



















OLD parts :

Hi, i'm almost new to the growing world and i would like to know if one of my baby is ready for harvest. If not , when? I search over the forum and the web but since its my first time, i would like to know if its time to cut or nut before. Here is some information that may help you. I start them at mid march so they are now 5 month and 2 week old from the seed. But low sun light in march and april make them grow really slow at first. Pics are supposed to show you a white widow. But after looking on the web, i'm not sure of this. I would have expect bigger buds. But there is so much yellowing and diying leaf. I cut almost 20 leaf per day. Is that normal? I would say yes since the plant is old. Thanks to let me know.

Here are the pics (sorry they are big but i want you to see them perfectly):

First off, pretty plant!

Secondly, I would wait a a couple of weeks. There are a lot of white newish looking pistils on her.

From the looks of things you haven't have the final growth explosion yet.. I would say your buds should double in weight from this point on. Anywhere from 2-4 weeks.

Some nice colas coming there. But what colour do you like your trichomes ??? What are they now? Presumably you DO possess a little microscope.

Yea man. In this stage the plant is burning through all it's nitrogen...it looks and apears to be "Dying" And in the over all scheme it is however the buds are still growing, the plant will generally bud and reach a stage where it's pistles all go brown. this means that they are either polinated or dead and not of any use for procreating. The plant stays like this and slows for a bit. Then in a final attempt to carry on it's species, the buds swell, and try to grow some new pistles in hops to be fertalized. This lasts approx 2 weeks. In most cases you gain anywhere from 20% to 40% more bud weight. But the true test of ripeness is lookin at the TRICHOME GLOBES under a microscope. Trichs should have milky/frosty to amber colored globes. If they are over all clear...they are not ready.
