Help! Is This Ready. I Can't Get Any Closer To The Trichs.

Lithium OG Kush just completed 8 weeks, starting week 9. I think it's ready. Everything I read says 8-9 or 10 weeks for this strain. I keep staring and I guess I'm nervous to cut too soon. I don't want couchlock either. It' my first harvest, literally...

Lithium OG Kush just completed 8 weeks, starting week 9. I think it's ready. Everything I read says 8-9 or 10 weeks for this strain. I keep staring and I guess I'm nervous to cut too soon. I don't want couchlock either. It' my first harvest, literally scraped up change to buy some pellet for cloning I needed so I can't get any other tools right now besides this little magnifying piece not even that great. Any opinions? Hairs are about 50-70 percent brown, they have been so not going just on that. Anyone?

not a lot to work with but calyxs look swollen and pistils receding and dried. the part that matters, the glands. with this view nobody can give you a great yes or no. most trichs look straight. glands look full and opaque and cloudy. i don't see a lot of long, bent trich stems or any amber or a lot of blown off heads. this plant is probably in early ready stage and will likely be peak any time within 0-5 days. keep in mind this is like assessing this with only 15% of them visible and not fully usable either. my opinion is that you can chop it but it's likely premature a bit or wait up to a week to see if it tosses a nanner at peak harvest time(fairly common and the nanner signifies that shes at or very close to peak ripeness). bear in mind people also prefer different degrees of ripeness and this isn't an exact science like you can't calculate the day of ripeness but you can master a cut and modify harvest as wanted.

wont hurt to wait up to another week and watch closely and could benefit you a lot in yield and aroma. either way if you have a clone, take photos, write the exact day and how it looks and save it for next time. 8 weeks is fast for a truly ripe lady and raw appearance is not a fair assessment so i would probably advise you to wait and watch up to day 60 at least. squeeze some lower buds and feel for fullness. check calyx swelling on the lesser developed buds. they should look developed and swollen fully also.

A lot of helpful information. My gut said another 3-5 or even 7 days. The strain is ready in 8-9 weeks and week 9 begins tomorrow. I am going to look for the nanners. That is new to me also. Ill post a pic of plant in full one sec.

Correction 8-10 weeks according to seed bank they came from and other growers. Here are some pics from today, hard to get good shots.

get a pair of these. they're cheap and work well. I think you'd be safe taking at 9 weeks but always check the trichs

I did not realize that item as so cheap. A friend is going to bring his over, as long as he makes it, so I'll get a close up opinion too. He has one of these.

These will probably be ready before I get paid again, just gonna keep close eye. Anytime in next week or less id say too.

Yea without magnification is hard to say. Shit always varies.

Get your homie with the lenses over to know for sure. I'm taking mine down at maybe 5% amber. I don't like the burn out feeling so I don't let them get very oxidised at all, the slight increase in yield isn't worth it to me, personal preference and all that.
