fist grow under 400 watt mh/hps...need opinions on the ripeness of my buds...i have a scope coming in bout a week and until then i only have my crappy camera to view trics.

i just dont want to miss my window on when to pull them because of my ignorance...here are some pics of a couple plants im concerned about...sorry if the pics are bad...really would appreciate some input on the matter.

it will be 8 weeks into flowering...this first grow has been really tuff because of my ignorance...many mistakes...so, if you can, please reply on what you think please ;-)

I'd wait....but I like 5-10% amber...I'd rather be at 5% amber knowing all the rest will be cloudy....u take at only 50% milky....that's 50% that ain't even gunna get ya stoned...lol just my opinion

Gordo here, Same situation, lots of clear or cloudy trichomes, few amber ones. So I harvested two out of five plants (one of the plants was a little stressed). They are curing. Also, I found a seed in one of the buds. Every male was chopped as soon as it showed the small, little green balls. How this thing was pollinated, I do not know. And so far only one seed. Looks viable, I'm going to plant it to see what happens. Good luck.

Some folks will say you need a loupe or a lens. You can clearly see the trichs are ambered out and clouded up. I frickin LOVE the colors of those nugs!!

i see SO many people who are experienced say that exact thing..... When you absolutely THINK it's ready, give it another 5days.....

the first one id give a week since your only at sixty days second one i cant tell, third a weekish, fourth a week. They look good but what are those testical lookin things on the bottom left of pic three? That one has a white pistal or two still. Idk, they look pretty done but 60 days is quick if thats the light flip date and not the first sign of buds. 60 days aint outta the question but what does the company say for a flower time?

@alienwidow I've got my own variety that I've bred over the years, it's astounding the time frames on these things, one time, they might only take 45, another time they took 110, but average for me is 65. Sometimes, I get a little impatient and pull to early. Which is why I gave the advice (if you think it's ready, wait a week.....)
