Can I get opinions on harvest readiness?

image.jpg image.jpg What do you think? Is it time? Can you tell from these pics? Trichomes are cloudy, but no ambers. These are an auto Jack, and they have passed the recommended grow time. Keep waiting to see amber trichomes, and day after day goes by.

I'd say probably another week, but still, you should get a loupe and look at the trichomes for future reference.

From your pictures, it looks like you are, at least, 3-4 weeks from cut. The reason I say that is: Look at the pistols...you have some brown and many newer white and green ones. It looks like you might have some insect problems and white mold, but hard to tell on the mold. Look at the holes in some leafs and missing parts. When you see those hairy pistols turn brown and start receding back into the calyx, get your 30x out. Looks like you will be a happy camper at the end my friend. Good luck and keep us posted. Peace

Just to let you know I let some Kosher go for 115 days + (stopped counting tbo) waiting for amber. I had always harvested when still had a few clear, but mostly cloudy with no amber. I just wanted to see if I was missing out. The girls never did produce more than a few amber trichs. Not sure if I waited longer there would be more..in all honesty i think it started to lose it's potency. I am typically about to run out so that dictates when I pull then, to a point lol.

not ready yet , another good indicator would be all of those newer white hairs. as long as she is spitting out a good amount white hairs which are new flowers which are new buds let her rip!

^^^^ that is also part of what I use to decide but again it typically boils down to "ok if I start to cure now I won't run out" lol.

Good to know. I do have a 45x and a 100x scope, and all I see is cloudy. I think I'll let em go a few more days and keep watchingn

i always give 2 more weeks why? when i cut a clone it has roots in 7-8 days, i let roots get big i plant them after about 10-14 days (2 weeks)... when i put my plant in the flower room, it takes anywhere from 7-14 days to see the pistols (about two weeks)... When i top a plant, usually those tops are recovered and are ready to top again in 2 weeks.... everyone says 2 weeks because something gotta happen in 2 weeks dammit!
