No I wouldn't consider those close to ready. Majority of pistils are solid white and sticking out. And it doesn't look like they are just a few new ones still pushing out. It's hard to see the condition of the orange/brown ones.

The trichome shots are terrible but the only amber I saw was on sugar leaves which you don't check. The rest looked clear.

Yeah it’s goddamn tough to hold the scope and laptop and get half decent shots. Okay, I’m in no rush I just want to time this as right as I can. As we’re starting week 12 Monday I thought that was kind of late

12 from seed? That's 84 days. I've never had anything finish in less than 90 days so I wouldn't consider that even close to late lol.

12 weeks from flip?
Those are totally ready.
C'mon guys ... this is his first harvest.
Helluva job you did there.
Now comes the hard part ... dry and cure.

lol what an emotional roller coaster this post is haha. YES, NO, YE, NO! I’m over here with the shears - “To chop or not to chop

thanks for the positivity man! Definitely learned some lessons along the way. - which is what it’s all about!

so you would say they are good to harvest?

I definitely noticed the last 2 weeks they have densed (don’t think that’s a word) up quite a bit and started falling over. That’s when I threw the trellis net in there to hold them upright.

They look ready to me.
12 weeks seals it.
There'll always be differing opinions and I am one who likes to let them go pretty long.
But my first harvest I don't think they went 9 weeks from flip and they were still fantastic.
You got plenty of grows ahead of you.
And you have multiple plants ... shoot you can take one of 'em down now and leave the others.
You got options.
Which yes, does include waiting too ... but I'm not seeing the need to torture yourself further.

Ok I like your style and I agree with your opinions. There’s 1000 ways to do everything but yeah I couldn’t see the need for 13-16weeks flower

I think I’ll chop them tomorrow and start again.

Thanks for your input! Cheers

You could always chop some now and wait a week or two before taking more.


Then you’ll get an idea what kind of buzz you liked best for next time

I would say that you are probably just about in the harvest window so you could chop and it will be nice smoke but I would wait another week or so you won't be disappointed. I'm seeing Amber only on the sugar leaves you want to see some amber on the calyx as well. That's just my 2 cents I'm new to indoor been growing outdoor for years

Thanks a lot man for your input. This is what I need! I may go ahead and take 2 of the more coloured ones and leave the remaining 2 another week
