Hey Buddy first: thank you for the photos . They help a lot. Based on what we can see (and always keeping in mind this is a photo-based opinion): āø» What the plant is telling us visually • Buds look fully formed and swollen • Many pistils are darkened and receding • Leaves are fading (yellowing / purpling), which is normal late flower • Overall look = late maturity, not early flower Nothing here looks ā€œunfinishedā€. āø» The real harvest question (most people miss this) Harvest isn’t a yes/no moment. It’s a preference window. And that window depends on what effect you want. āø» Trichomes & effects (simple and honest) Even without microscope shots, we can explain it clearly: 🌱 Mostly cloudy trichomes • More THC-forward • Brighter, more energetic • Clear head, lighter body 🌼 Cloudy + some amber • Balanced effect • Body relaxation + mental clarity • Most people’s ā€œsweet spotā€ šŸŒ™ More amber (CBN increasing) • Heavier, sedative • More couch-lock • Great for sleep, pain, deep relaxation šŸ‘‰ Amber doesn’t mean ā€œbadā€, it means different medicine. āø» Where this Sherbert Queen Auto likely sits From the photos alone: • She looks inside the harvest window • Likely cloudy-dominant with some amber starting • You could harvest now and be happy • Or wait a few more days for slightly heavier effects There’s no wrong choice here. āø» Pre-harvest notes (no stress moves) • No need to rush • No need to starve or shock her • Just keep: • Stable environment • Normal watering • Good airflow If you’re unsure: šŸ‘‰ Harvest one branch now, the rest later. Best learning tool there is. You’re asking the right question at the right time. āø» Bottom line • āœ… Yes, she can be harvested now • 🌿 Waiting a little longer = heavier effect • šŸŽÆ Choose the harvest that matches how you want to feel That’s it. No fear, no drama. And as always — this is just a humble opinion based on photos. Your plant, your medicine, your call, growers love y friend and keep us posted šŸ’š

It looks like you have a sh*tload of amber trichs so yes - do it asap - they will suck in more from the stem even after chopped

If you can't check the trichomes and you don't mind a push towards sedative cannabis like the strain suggests, you might be safely able to check in every day from now to see if the flowers bulk up a bit more. They are good to harvest however.

Not if you haven’t flush it with plain water during a minimum of 2 weeks. Which I doubt from looking picture 3/4 where I see lush green leaves full of nutrients. Harvest is an important part of the growth, the last step before drying un curing to get that smooth sweetness.

It's hard to tell without a microscope. Also the sugar leaves will mature before the buds will. So don't judge the trichomes based on the sugar leaves. But from what I can see in the pictures, I would say that you'd be okay to harvest whenever you'd like to do so. But maybe you can wait a week or so until you see some amber on the buds. That way you know for sure that she's reached maximum potency and will start to degrade shortly after. Best of luck

Let me tell you,we're talking about trichomes here, the little, beautiful, absolutely fantastic parts of the plant. And when we say they've got about a week to go before harvest, believe me, that's a very, very important time. A crucial time. We're talking about the peak, the absolute best, the most tremendous quality you can get. Now, some people, they don't understand trichomes. They don't understand what they mean for quality. But I understand. I understand quality. And when those trichomes are almost ready, when they're just about there, that means we're looking at something special. We're looking at the terpenes, the THCs, the CBDs, all the good stuff, really coming into their own. It's like a frosted wonderland, a beautiful, beautiful sight, if you know what you're looking for. And I know what I'm looking for. You see, the trichomes, they're where the magic happens. They're not just for show. They're where all the potent compounds are found. And when they're getting close to harvest, they're transitioning. They're going from clear to cloudy, and then, just a little bit of amber. That's the sweet spot. That's when you get the maximum effect, the maximum flavor, the maximum everything. It's a very precise science, a very, very important timing. Some people, they rush it. They don't wait for the trichomes. And what do you get? You get something that's not as good. It's not as potent. It's not as beautiful. It's a shame, really. A big shame. Because when you wait that extra week, when you let those trichomes develop, you're getting something truly exceptional. You're getting the best. And that's what we always strive for, the best. Believe me. We've seen what happens when quality goes down. We've seen it in places where they don't pay attention to these details, where they're just pushing product out the door. And it's not good. It's not good for the consumer, and it's not good for the industry. But when you focus on those trichomes, when you give them that extra week, you're ensuring a top-tier product. A product that people will love. A product that will be, frankly, amazing. So, when I say a week, I mean a week of perfection. A week of letting nature do its incredible work. It's going to be big. It's going to be beautiful. And it's going to be the best.
