Does this look ready to harvest? Or is it early. Asking for a friend.

Hello growdiaries. I have been harrassed by a grower I won't name. He suggests he is extremely experienced, makes no mistakes, all his bud is top shelf... etc. He plans to harvest this bud tomorrow. Does this photo represent a ripe, well grown bud?

@Organoman @Killab1405 thank you guys for your input. All his grows are supposedly for his medical patients. I just want to throw this link and see if you agree or not. https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/community/main-forum/when-to-harvest/

I agree with organoman. Waiting too long can be a mistake. Anytime you put a picture up on this site people will always say 2-3 weeks. But I took that advice before and yes the weed was very strong and overpowering. But it also put me to sleep. It all depends on the high you want in the end. But to answer the question. Yes I would totally harvest at that point. But I like a happy uplifting high for recreation. If it's for medical purposes I'd go the other route.

I would be happy to harvest at this stage. THC levels are at their peak purity at this maturity. After this the THC starts to break down into CBD and CBN, amongst other compounds, producing a sleepy and heavy, zombie like stone. I much prefer to get high and up-lifted, not zoned out. Everyone has their own preferences, so it is up to the individual and what sort of stone they prefer. Look at the pictures that the breeders put on their websites when advertising their products. Nearly all will show flowers with 5% or so, of white pistils still remaining. This is for a reason. Once all the pistils are brown, the plant is basically at deaths' door with degraded THC. But, each to their own. Like you said, "all his buds are top shelf". Hope this helps..... Organoman.
