Almost ready for harvest?

hi Buddy so What we’re seeing here 👀 Left plant — Blackberry Kush • Lots of orange/brown pistils • Buds look swollen and stacked • Trichomes appear mostly cloudy, maybe a touch of clear left • Overall structure looks finished or very close 👉 This one is right on the edge of its window, possibly ready very soon depending on trichome preference. ⸻ Right plant — Mimosa x Orange Punch • Still throwing white pistils • Bud structure is more elongated / foxtailing • Trichomes look clear → cloudy, not fully mature yet • Calyxes haven’t fully swollen 👉 This is not done yet, and what you’re seeing isn’t a problem. ⸻ About the “foxtails” 🦊 This looks like genetic + late-flower expression, not stress foxtailing: • No bleached tops • No tacoing or burnt tips • Even resin coverage Mimosa crosses are known for: • Extended flowering • Continued pistil push • More vertical bud growth late Totally normal. ⸻ The key lesson here (important for them to hear) Strain timelines are guidelines, not rules. Two plants in the same tent can easily finish 1–2+ weeks apart, even if the breeder says “8–8.5 weeks” for both. ⸻ What I’d gently suggest • Judge each plant individually • Harvest the Blackberry Kush first if desired • Let the Mimosa keep stacking and ripening • Keep conditions stable; don’t rush or push feed changes now so in my humble opinion and remember is just my humble opinion this looks like you’re seeing two different maturity timelines rather than an issue. The Blackberry Kush on the left does look close—lots of orange pistils, swollen buds, and trichomes leaning cloudy. The Mimosa x Orange Punch on the right still has plenty of white pistils and is continuing to stack. The foxtailing looks more like genetic late-flower growth than stress, which is pretty common with Mimosa crosses. Even if both are listed as 8–8.5 week strains, it’s normal for one to finish earlier. I’d judge each plant on its own trichomes and structure rather than the calendar. Nothing looks wrong here—just different personalities finishing at their own pace 👍 Growers Love my friend and keep us posted 👊🙌🙏
