When your calyx are swollen, pistils mostly red, trichomes are mostly milky and your choice how much amber, they are ready. Garden looks like the start of autumn. Maybe one more feed, then water to the end. Finish may come faster but I see three more weeks.

Did you give any nitrogen in bloom.. might just be a strain that fades early, don't know... keep her going she will plump up, missing something somewhere...

Nein die braucht noch ein paar Tage, wenn du siehst das fast alle trichome milchig und ein kleiner Teil amber sind, dan kannst du ernten ich denke so 1 bis 2 Wochen. Aber wie gesagt kontriere deine trichome und nicht nur die oberen buds sondern auch weiter unten. Viel erfolg

Its best du invest in a better magnifying glass that really lets you see the thrichomes. They should be almost all cloudy with a few amber ones.. Otherwise I found that the hairs are verry often also good enough to tell the state of the flower. If almost all of them are brown and only maybe 10-15% white she is most likely done.

long hairs = more time. once you get the full plump and can't see it plumping any more, start scoping trichomes on the calyxes -- at different levels on the plant so you get a good perceptions of development. The percentage of amber is your trigger. The exact point you harvest is personal preference that others cannot figure out for you. you can harvest some buds early middle an dlate and test to shorten that learning curve. If you like sleepy buds, go for more amber on the bulk of it, but still cut off and label a few buds at different ripeness so you can test it out in 1 grow as opposed to several. There's some variance to this, but once calyxes are fully plump, i find it still takes another 7-10 days to see the trichomes mature. I prefer an earlier harvest window, for reference. Some rare varieties will barely show any amber even if you wait so long that the buds die on the stem. Not something you can predict, unfortunately. If something has been fully plump for a long time an dthe pistils are all dead and coild up, sometimes you harvest without the targeted percentage of amber trichomes. So, while trichomes are the best option to determing when to harvest, use other physical characteristics to help make the decision, too. Bud density and pistil coloration are not as good of indicators, but sometimes it's all you got.
