hello all,
I want some advise on whether or not I should Harvest atm.
This is a Ice Feminized (medicinal) plant in her 10th week ( first grow ), have had some Aphid issue a few weeks back but handled.
I'm posting a shot from my microscope. Let me know what you think.

im new to growing but with my understanding and reading im guessing if you look and your trichs are cloudy they are good im not expert so lets wait for another veteran member to correct

Looks pretty good to me. Make sure the rest of the plant looks like that. Hope youve been flushing her. Oh and Put that girl under complete darkness for a couple of days before chopping her down. It will get every last bit out of her...

Sweet.. until 30 minutes ago I thought the trichromes should be amber before she goes down. then i checked a post of a veteran and saw the "cloudy" Comment. I will check her tomorrow if all buds are cloudy.
here come 2 more questions though:
What happens if the lower buds are not cloudy yet? should i wait a week more before putting her into darkness?
I have been flushing her for the last 7-8 days. Last water she got was 4 days ago and she was supposed to be watered tomorrow, should I water one last time? or str8 into darkness 4 days and then chop?
thanks for the replies

What you want to see is no clear, mostly cloudy with a little amber trics. Theres no way to get 100 % cloudy but what you want is no clear trics. Whatever amber trics you see at that point will be fine. It looks very nice tho. Amber trics indicate thc is breaking down. So dont wait for it to turn completely amber.

If the lower buds arent cloudy but the entire top is cloudy and starting to turn amber then jus chop the top and leave the bottom buds on for a while longer.

Continue to water as normal. The leaves will start to yellow indicating that the buds are exracting the last of the nutrients your plant has to offer. Putting her in darkness will trigger her survival instincts and she will swell up a bit more and produce every bit of her resins she has left...

Sounds like a plan Killahz, I will check all buds tonight, will see if bottom ones are cloudy enough, if yes ill put her in darkness 2-3 days and then chop,if not i might wait 2-3 days more.
You say water as normal, till the day i chop? cause i read somewhere that letting her dry before chopping makes drying and curing of buds faster, is that true ?
BTW gonna hang the stems within the same grow tent to dry them. Any special advise on that one? I mean the drying and curing procedure. I was thinking to hank the stems in the tent, fans and exhaust fan will be still working as normal but obviously the lights will be removed or switched off, then perhaps put them in show boxes for the curing procedure together with some dry pineapple or smth, not sure yet. Any suggestions?

I have a small temperature problem as well so I don't think mold will be problem. I am around 27-28 Celsius lights off. ( my AC broke down and is not gonna be fixed till late next week ) lights on atm 30 Celsius. all though It has affected her in other ways I am sure
