Are these ladies ready or should I give them more time?
KingMickeystarted grow question 1y ago
Flowering time is said to be 60-70 days, today is day 62. I've seen a lot on the trichomes and when to harvest but I don't quite have the eye for it yet as it's my first time. Would you guys say these are ready or should I go a few more days. Thanks in advance for any help!

High KingMickey, You still need about 1 or 2 weeks to go. The best way to tell that a plant is ready for harvest is with a pocket microscope (60x is perfect). The trichomes change color from uripe (clear as glass) to ripe (milky white) to expired (amber brown). When 80% from the trichomes are milky white it is the perfect time to harvest.
But if you do not want to use a microscope then the pistils (brown hairs) are the second best indicator. When 80-90% from the pistils are brown it is time to harvest.
You still need 1 to 2 weeks till the ideal time for harvest. The buds look great buddy! Enjoy the harvest! π

It's not even time to start checking trichomes... Wait for it to plump fully before you start to worry about it.
you can find amber at almost any stage of life cycle, but it only matters after it has fully ripened. It's a correlation not an exact thing. The trichomes buried under growth are more mature than most realize.
The hairs should 'look' short - they are as long as always but the calyx plumps around it. After a couple harvests you won't think twice about it... simply start scoping trichomes after it plumps and allow that to trigger harvest. (trichomes on calyxes only)

Probably 2 weeks left depending on how quickly she ripens. Maybe 10 days. If you post another questions in a weeks time with fresh pics that would help.

In micro photo you have sugar leaf. You dont check any leaf trichomes, you check buds calaxies and trichomes on it, not on leaf.
By look to eye they still have a week, by maturity of trichs i cant tell. If you see most milky and a bit of ambers - thats perfect time.

needs more time, the trichome looks mostly clear, the 60-70 days are values ββunder optimal conditions (or selling point). It usually takes longer to be ready to harvest.
