Is my plant ready to harvest?

I can't tell if my plant is ready to harvest. There isn't much smell and its buds aren't very big, but the trichomes look milky? not sure as they might be clear but there's alot of them. Been around 10 weeks for a Zkittlez Auto. Any clue?

If you can buy a microscope or jewellers loupe for cheap you'll be able to tell from the trichomes close up. Can you see any orange trichomes (not the pistils!)? If you can see a few orange ones then she's probably ready to chop when you want. Milky trichomes will get you high. More orange trichomes = more stoned/couch lock. Enjoy your harvest!

Harvesting is ultimately up to the grower. It’s hard to answer when we can’t see your grow. With that said, if you think it’s time to harvest, it probably can go another week, or two. One mistake I made early on (a lot)was not giving the plant enough time to “be a plant”. Do you have a strong magnifying glass or jewelers loupe to examine her trichomes? Is she an auto or photoperiod? Have you done any research online to see what others have done? Research the plants history to have an even more accurate idea. I’m sure there’s more educated growers here that will answer but harvesting is all on the cultivars. Good luck

Use a jewelers loupe 50x and above and you should be able to see clearly what color the trichomes are. If you can’t tell the difference between clear and milky then wait until 20% amber.

Your buds are full of seeds and you knew about 5 or 6 weeks ago and left them so now all will be the same scrap the lot and clean everything well and start over with fresh seeds and throw the seeds away as they are 99% chance of being hermie again its the risk that you took but they're definitely seeded you can see seeds in your pictures Sorry too say

Sorry but you have had male pods so your buds would have stopped producing buds and producing seeds instead and then you will have seeds in all the buds and it losing the thc levels I'm sorry to say all the plants in the area will be the same sorry for you loss happy growing
