Yeah, I’d harvest now. Looks really good so far, with just the right amount of amber trichomes. Enjoy it 🙂

Hey 👋 I would stop feeding her. Acc. To trichomes you Shared I would say you got 2 weeks Left if whole plant has that coloured Trichomes. If only top you got a some weeks more. Nevertheless, it’s better to stop feeding esrlier, than too late… otherwise your smoke will be scratchy 🤷🏼 Good Job for first grow 🤞🏽👊

About 2 weeks more, give or take a few days. You are right about stopping ferts now. Once there are 95-99% brown pistils/hairs, you will be entering the harvest zione.

Locker noch 2 Wochen braucht die Dame, würde ich behaupten. Wie schon gesagt wurde: ignoriere die Trichome auf den Zuckerblättern. 👽

Hey Buddy When harvesting, ignore the leaves as much as possible. Trichomes on sugar leaves turn cloudy and amber earlier than the ones on the calyx (the actual flower). That’s where most beginners get tricked. So: • Sugar leaves = misleading • Calyx trichomes = truth serum 😄 ⸻ Our philosophy (and he can choose his own) There’s no single “right” harvest day. It’s all about effect preference. 🌱 Clear trichomes • Plant still producing cannabinoids • Effects: anxious, racy, unfinished • Flavor: green, sharp ➡️ Too early ☁️ Cloudy / milky trichomes • THC at its peak • Effects: euphoric, energetic, creative • Flavor: loud, terpy ➡️ This is where we personally aim 🍯 Amber trichomes • THC degrading into CBN • Effects: heavy body, sedative, couch-lock • Flavor: deeper, sometimes flatter ➡️ Great for sleep meds, not everyone’s daily smoke CBN is not “bad” it’s just different. More amber = more narcotic. ⸻ What I see here (and why I’d wait) From what’s visible: • Lots of clear to early cloudy • Very little true amber on calyx • Pistils still active, not fully receded • Buds still swelling That tells me: 👉 The plant is still stacking weight and resin 👉 Harvesting now would leave potency and flavor on the table ⸻ About stopping fertilizer (important!) Stopping nutrients ≠ harvesting tomorrow. What I’d suggest: • Let the plant finish • When trichomes are mostly cloudy: • Then stop feeding • Optional light fade / water only • Harvest 7–14 days later, depending on response Flushing doesn’t “fix” timing — timing fixes flushing. Ultimately it’s your call, some people harvest earlier for a more uplifting high, others later for heavier effects. I personally like harvesting when trichomes are mostly cloudy with just a touch of amber, and from what I see, your plant isn’t quite there yet. Lets Grow my friend you got this, growers love and remember this is just how i do it please follow your instinct 👊

Don't judge it based on the sugar leaves. They mature weeks faster than the buds. Try to get close to the calyx under the buds and check the tops the middle and the lower part of the plant. The tops will mature faster as well but don't judge based on the leaves

you are looking at trichomes on leaves. Don't do that. Trichomes on calyxes only. I don't ignore trichomes but they aren't the only physical observance i use. pistil coloration and density of the buds is a big part of it. For whatever reasons self-inflicted or genetic diversity, not all plants ripen the same way. It's good observe more than one thing to keep you honest. Looks like a good amount of ripening remains. Long white hairs means the calyxes will still plump more. Too early to scope trichomes.

I personally don’t harvest by looking at trichomes since years now. Just wait for 80% of the hairs to turn brown/orange. It mostly looks like an Indica, flowering period should be about 8-9 weeks. Stop the nutrients 2 weeks before harvest and give it only water with some Magnesium + Sulfur to finish . Well done for a first grow 👍
