Gelato and blue diamond cookies grow

Hi @UpncomingGreenthumb! Pistils can be a clue, if you noticed that new pistils have stopped appearing and old pistils have almost all turned red/brown and curly, but the best way to ensure it's the right time is to look at the trichomes with a magnifier/microscope. Clear/Transparent/Thin trichomes mean it's too soon, Milky/Cloudy/Fat trichomes mean the harvest window is open, Amber trichomes mean the harvest window is ending, and THC is degrading (less THC, more CBD/CBN). Looking at your last pictures, I think your buds are ready, or almost ready. As long as most of the trichomes have turned from clear and thin to fat and milky you know the 'harvest window' is open, even if you don't see any amber. Harvesting too soon (too many clear trichs) will result in a uplifting/energetic effect but you will lose some terpenes & oil potential. Waiting longer (too many amber trichs) will result in a heavy stone/couchlocking effect. Hand-held microscopes can be found for a few dollars on the internet or at your local growshop. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Looking good! I'd start flush and go and buy 20x-40x loop and start checking trichomes to decide the exact tdate when to harvest. Pistils are good way to somehow know that I'm getting there but the last decission on cut down should be made on trichomes.😉👍

I would plan for a Day 60+ harvest and re-evaluate from there. Typically plants run towards the end of the Breeders flowering time. I recommend harvesting when the trichomes are at the stage where you like your high. I recommend 10% amber to give you a good terpene profile too. The buds just get better looking the longer you go. The last 2 weeks are the hardest haha! Good luck and Happy Growing!! 💪
