Is my girl ready with pics

[shadeofgreen]

Hi everyone, im growing Royal Queen and having some trouble deciding when to harvest, im currently in my 6th week of flowering and it is looking beautiful, the info about the Royal Queen said that it would be ready 2 months from germination it is now 2 months and 2 weeks, the fruits are very cyrstaly and the trichomes are 60-70% cloudy (i dont want a couchlock stone) but the buds arent as big as i thought they will be (i should mention this is my first grow) can someone please give me some insight on when i should deflower my girl, Thanks in advance cheers

Also a couple of these pics were taken a couple of days ago.

well supposidly the couchlock comes when they start turning amber...so I'd say once you get up to about 90-95% cloudy chop away...but i'd wait for someone elses advice than just mine

im trying to look at these pics on my phone so I might be way off but they still look like there weeks away from being ready to me

yeah man give them a while to fill out. They still got a ways to go. I agree with the post above mine about another 3 weeks. Over all looks healthy and you have good trich development. Patience will pay off in the long run!! STAY HIGH!!!

"the info about the Royal Queen said that it would be ready 2 months from germination it is now 2 months and 2 weeks"

Once again, let me inform you on a little something you may want to really think about. The breeders 'approximate advertised flowering times' are what they experienced personally while doing a test grow of the particular strain. Something most growers don't stop and think about is.. is that the breeder is more than likely using a 'top notch' grow setup.. meaning they're using at LEAST 1k watts of lighting and other top notch equipment.. so when you consider what setup your using.. you have to balance out the times.

For example.. lets say Nirvana says '60 days flowering' for Snow White strain okay?? Well, in my case.. with the lights and setup I personally use.. I have to consider that with the setup I'm using.. versus the setup that Nirvana is using.. in other words, I know its going to take longer than 60 days for my plants to fully mature to be ready for harvesting.. because I'm not using anywhere near the equipment that Nirvana is probably using.. so therefore, I'll usually add 2 to even 3 weeks.. onto the breeders 'advertised flowering time'.

Also, you have to remember that the breeder's 'advertised flowering times' are based on the assumption that the plant is going to be grown in an 'OPTIMAL' (meaning absolutely perfect) growing environment.. which hardly none of us have, despite what you might think.. nobody has an absolutely PERFECT growing environment.. the breeders might have something close to 'perfect' or 'optimal'... but most of us don't have the equipment that the breeders have.. so you have to compensate extra time to the breeders 'advertised flowering times'.

Just something to think about..

peace.

I would wait about 3 to 4 weeks . You will be amazed at how big and juicy they will get. Patience! Don't cheat yourself.
