You will not know when the good time to harvest is by watching ths hairs colours except if you are a 70's hippie who did not make the transition to the new century. If you want to know when to chop buy a x40 magnifier and watch at the trichomes colours , depending on the trichomes matitarion you'll have a different effect so if your trichomes are mostly clear/cloudy you will have a energetic high ( not my cup of tea ) If you have more amber/brown tricks you'll have the couch lock / stone effect ( yeah I like that one ) and if you are getting a 50/50 clear amber them you'll have a mix between the 2 effects . Now if you are a hippie then wait until all the hair are raid and when the leaves are yellowing to harvest

They look good. So your buds aren't fattening? The AN line up is good, but Bud Ignitor is typically used during the beginning of budding then using AN Big Bud is used. During the last couple of weeks before you flush AN Over Drive pumps some extra PK into the plants to help bulk up the buds. So in other words they will put on the most weight during the last 2-3 weeks before harvest. So if you have those products use them if not the y will fatten a bit more on their own no big deal. You can use un- sulfured Organic Black strap molasses from a health food store which is high in potassium and a lot of other good things 1 table spoon per gallon of water once a week. When determining when to flush or harvest always go by the trichome color. A good indication to start checking the trichome color is when 50% of the white pistils have dried and started to turn orange. Use a 40X led lighted jewelers loupe (Amazon.com) it works great. When you have more cloudy trichomes (50+%) than clear I would start to flush to be safe. Some growers wait a bit longer until they see mostly cloudy/milky it depends on the strain sometimes. Either way it should leave you a nice 10-14 day window to flush her. Most growers like to Harvest when they have 5% to 30% amber trichomes it depends on what type of high you like. You will see a mix of some clear, mostly cloudy/milky and amber on your buds at harvest.Hope this helps.👍

from what i see next week start your flush or 50% amber tricome at 80 % its ready to harvest ... but from the date you started to now its been 42 day budding meaning you have a other 30 to 33 day before harvest (Blue Dream Auto Comprehensive life cycle70-75 days) so if i was you i would wait 2 more week before flush
