Zoom in on your pics, and even tho they’re out of focus at that point it’s easy to see the trichs are all white or clear. Zero amber caps. Looks like it needs more than a week or two to me. But that’s why steak is served anywhere from rare to well done. Personal taste. Enjoy your harvest

I would stop feeding nutrients now and flush for harvest sometime in the next 14 days perhaps. But yes check every possible indicator that the bus are ready to come down

In addition to checking the trichomes to make sure they have finished out the way you like, it's probably also worth checking the flush too. You can cut some mid level bud off, and either fan dry it, or dry it in a a microwave and give it a go. If it's harsh, tastes of chlorophyll, sparkles or tastes like chemicals/fertilizer in any way, give it an extra week of plain or even distilled water before chopping. another good indication of a successful flush if you don't want to smoke it is to wait for the plant to begin exhibiting micro nutrient deficiencies after 1-2 weeks of flush. Purpling stems, yellowing leaves, and just generally more colorful bud is a good indication that the plant and medium have both run out of nutrients. Based on the visuals and other journals, I would say you have another couple weeks to go, and hey you may get lucky with lower tent temps and maybe some light blueing/purpling.

if time reches to harvest the Girls, iam looking at the Whole plant . How does the leaves look=? are they showing signs of discoloration ( autumn coulurs) are the Pistils at least to 75 percent brown/ orange, did she produce nice sugar=? How does she smell? and how do the trichomes look like, I start flushing if trichomes are milky. So look at your Plant and if you see most of the signs ( some srtains never show a lot of orange pistils) Your girl is ready to harvest/ start flushing. If i look at the pictures of your girl i would say.. start to flush and harvest is very near in around 8-10 days

Hey snoot the only reliable way is to monitor your trichomes with a 30x or better 60x magnifying glass. You want to harvest with the highest percentage of cloudy milky trichomes as possible. Clear trichs=not ready. cloudy=reaching maximum thc level. amber= too late your thc is converting to cbd and other less desirable compounds. You will get different effects depending on when you harvest. A early harvest with several clear trichs will give you more of an entergetic high where a late harvest with a lot of amber will give you more of a sedative couchlock effect. It is really something you have to experiment with to see what you like. With that being said yours looks pretty close to me. Enjoy that harvest!
