A grower is INSISTING this plant is ready,....shes a super lady but doesnt exactly k ow my resume and my opinion isnt quite respected so could you all tell us YOUR thoughts on this plant? Early? on time? or over mature? GO
So NOT ready. I would say you have 3-4 weeks by the way they look in that picture. They haven't even fattened up and ripened.
I wouldn't call the person wanting to chop that early a grower. When the calyxes have closed around the pistil and you can see more "flesh" than hair you are on to the end. Everybody says by trichomes but if you have grown enough bud you just "know" when they have the done look. All the peeps on here who really grow will tell you the same thing.
I used to check them too. Still do right at chop for the fun of it. didnt buy that little microscope not to fiddle with it!..LOL.. However, every time I look and say, "that one looks ready" the trichomes agree with me. The pic of all the tops was let go long for that strain and had more than 50% amber but I like that one a little narcotic. The purple one in the other 2 pics is AK 47 with about 20% amber and 80% milky.
Nothing but dank buds comes out of my cabinet and I do not pull before they are done.
Hopefully this guy can convince his partners to wait. That looks like bud 3-4weeks into flower.
