are they ready? need help.

im fairly new at this and knowing when to harvest is the hardest thing for me to figure out.






cabbage is done for sure.

As the plant matures the new calyx (flower) will form making new hairs. As each calyx ripen the pistals in those individual calyx will shrivel and receed back. You're going to see a bunch of new calyx form with new hairs that shrivel, that's what makes up the bud. When it come time to harvest you're going to be looking for a number of things at once, not just the trich color like everyone says, there's more to it.
Here's the order the plant matures so you know what to expect-

1. calyx and pistals form
2. pistal hairs turn color and shrivel back to calyx wihich will have started swelling
3. calyx swell with resin
4. **Now is when to look for trich color**

The trichomes can start changing color from the time they develope so you can't rely on just that to judge harvest time.

yea pistils have NOTHING to do with harvest since there will be new ones popping up till harvest usually but trichs is what u look at...i harvest at around 25%-50% and those pics were hella blurry but seems like tons of amber trichs so ur probably good to go

wow man thanks that helped a lot especially the picture. ill definetly look for that

Yeah i had to tape my magnifier to my camera so it wasn't very steady.
