Hi forum!

Newbie medi-grower; first time posting. Trying to create the perfect meds for my suffering hubby. Attached pic shows white widow, end of 8th week. Calyx are swollen and trichomes are milky white. Is it time to harvest?

Well, the first picture looks like its not quite ready, showing white hairs still. The second pic looks like its been pollenated and has seed sacs? Wait for more advice i'm no expert.

Your description says yes, but the first pic seems to say no. From what I see, it looks like you could have the dreaded "couple more weeks." But, as spliffbuddy said, I'm also far from an expert.

Either way, good luck and good job! Looks chunky!

the rule i try to go with (and my grow area is 62-67 degrees on the cool side my indica plants love it)
wait till i think it's ready then wait 2 weeks :)
and get something you can see the trichomes
depends on what you are after
i like an up lifting head buzz so i go for white trichomes with a few amber ones...like these.... Untitled 24.jpgUntitled 25.jpgUntitled 26.jpgUntitled 27.jpg
some folks like\need that narcotics effect with more amber trichomes....more mature
keep in mind your harvest will continue to mature as it dries\cures at least for that first week
all in all wait....i think they will still plump up over the next 2 weeks :)

There is only ONE way to know for sure if your plant is ready. It is NOT by looking at pictures on Rollitup.
Get a scope.

Otherwise you get the common answer of 2 more weeks. By the way, looks like you are going to get a pound off that plant....
