Proper time to chop?

Hey there I would say you could harvest now if you wanted but buds will not be prime they will still smoke good but if you wait 7 to 19 days they should fatten up and fill in and more hairs will change colors Good luck don’t stress it to much weed plants have more like a 2 week harvest zone it’s not like you have to harvest on a specific day I’d say now is more the time to stress and read up about cutting and drying and buying everything you need Be prepared for drying and harvest b4 you harvest Drying and cutting is just as important as growing the buds themselves Good luck

Hey growmie, those buds are looking frosty as hell and the fade’s on point! From the pics, I’d say you’re real close, but not quite there yet. Maybe give it 3–5 more days depending on trichs. The calyxes still look like they’re stacking a bit. If you’ve got a loupe or microscope, check the trichomes on the buds (not just leaves) — you want mostly cloudy, with maybe 5–10% amber for a balanced effect. If you’re going for that couchlock, wait until more amber shows. If you want more heady, energetic — you could chop soon. But honestly, a few more days will fatten those buds up even more. Looking 🔥 either way✌️🌿❤️

looks like a lot of unripened calayxes to me... long white hairs and lots of plumping remains. some stuff plumps up and still takes 14 days to ripen. Other stuff takes forever to plump but is mostly ripe once that finishes. All you can do is observe and react. Once it fattens up, start scoping those trichomes. Looks liek 2 different plants pictured? One is further ahead than the other.
