Yeah i was having a hard time getting good pictures... its day 65 so i was thinking its getting pretty close.I am having a hard time telling from the photos. Bud #3 looks like it is foxtailing on the side toward the light and like a frightened porcupine on the other side. Am I seeing it correctly?
IMHO they are close if a large percent of the pistils (not looking at fox tails) have receded and yellowed a little... Different varieties can look different when ready and I have never grown Low Ryders... but I would let them grow for a few more days, then check again to see if they have visibly matured or still filling and look about the same.... maybe harvest then if they are maturing. You have an ideal harvest window of maybe 7-10 days and I do not think you are quite in it yet.
Oh, I thought I would mention that I picked quite a few buds from my grow that looked ready but the side of the bud away from the light still had quite a few green pistils and had not filled out as much. I'll pick 'em like that. IMO when picking always look at the sunny side.
Thanks for the help, do you think it would be good to start flushing them now? the top part/cola looks pretty good, but the small popcorn size buds at the bottom still need a few more days it seems. If i flush for a week or so, then it may be time to harvest?Oh, I thought I would mention that I picked quite a few buds from my grow that looked ready but the side of the bud away from the light still had green pistils and were not filled out.

IMO go for it! You should get some great bud! As for the popcorn if they still don't look pickable I have read that shutting off the lights completely and not watering for several days or a week will tric out the popcorn...fatten them up a little. I haven't tried it yet but it wouldn't cost anything to do it.
yeah thats true, I really just care about the main cola anyway lol. Alright, well ill start flushing tomorrow! then in a week or so i will harvest, i can't wait!
How about this just starting trimming scared cutting to early
Did you check it with a scope? IMHO If you're concerned about cutting too early hang that one up for a few days till it gets crisp on the outside. It does not look like you are harvesting late... you still have a good cut window... so a few more days should be ok. Then check the bud you hung... use a scope, check the color and firmness. IMHO I can tell more after it has been cut for a few days by checking and comparing to the fresh cut.
id say you still have a few more weeks
