Papa_Tanswered grow question 1y ago Inspect your buds at multiple different locations. With a jewellers loupe or pocket microscope.
Are there still clear tricromes? If yes, then she needs more time.
Are all your tricromes cloudy? If yes then your harvest window is open.
The pictures you show us, thereās no possible way for us to say if itās ripe or not. Simply saying youāre at week 12 isnāt much to go by either.
From what I see I think you have an other two weeks before harvest. Youāve still got lots of white pistils.
This is the time for you to inspect your buds daily and train yourself to look for those visible cues. Thereās a big distinction between a clear tricrome and a cloudy/milky tricrome. If you start seeing amber tricromes then sheās more than likely ready to harvest.
When to pull is personal preference. When theyāre all cloudy bud is at max potency.
Let the bud mature a bit further to see some amber tricromes, but potency is on a slight decline but flavour profile develops further. The more amber tricromes the more sedative effects the bud will have.
So thereās about a ten day window for harvesting, itās up to you to choose what you want from your crop.
Donāt prematurely chop your bud. Read them and adjust accordingly, trust what your eyes tell you.
