yes, you certainly can... if you see nanners start, i'd abort, but otherwise if it is resiliant, give the lower nugs time to ripen is an option people do with success.

Don’t have a microscope, can you cut them down in stages? As bottoms aren’t filled out

2-3 weeks was best answer (my 2 cents..) i agree, but don't give to me, if you do.. :)

they always "look" ready before they are ready. so, get a jewler's loup, digi microscope, anything that can provide 30-60X magnication and check out the trichomes. there are varying opinions on the optimal time. what isn't varying is that cloudy trichomes is the peak. amber is degredation.... you inevitable have soem % of amber to get the most cloudy trichomes possible. after that, you need a lab and equipment normal people just don't have, or people are just full of themselves if they believe anything with confidence otherwise... the sample size required would be too large for an individual's anecdotal recall.

The tricomes on the buds not the leaves will tell you when it's ready! 20-30% amber is your sweet spot!! Most are ready within 50-65 from flower.! Hope this helps! Happy growing!

You need to look very closely at the trichomes. By closely I mean magnified. If you have a pair of binoculars use them the wrong way way round or try and get hold of a jeweller's loupe. Look for about 30+40% amber trichomes. Other than that just wait an extra few days to be sure

Well you've been flowering for 4 weeks, the breeders suggests 5-7 weeks so, I would guess you still have 2 or 3 weeks left for optimum harvest. Maybe an extra week or so too..., 👍🌱
