Are these ready to harvest?

[Strracer75]

This is one of my small outdoor plants. Is it ready to harvest?

Hi @Strracer75 ,

I am quite new to growing but I can tell that this plant needs a little more time in flowering. It lools like a Sativa which flowers significantly longer than your typical Indica strains. I state this since the hairs have not darkened significantly which is the usual tell that the flowers are ripening. Once they darken I woild recommend using a 30x or 60x magnifying lense (Jewelry scope) to look at the glandular hairs i.e trichomes. The heads of the hairs should be cloudy white and about 20% amber. The scope is cheap and it is really worth the investment

Hope this helps

That's what I have here. A 30× and 60× led loupe. Best 12 bucks I ever spent. Took all that pain in the ass guess work out as far as trichomes are concerned. Bought it on eBay

Hey Strracer,
How many days have you been seeing the pistil development?
That looks like it may have several more weeks to me.
Generally in my experience Sativas flower for 9-12 weeks or 63-84 days.
I just finished some supposedly 8 week flowering hybrid, and they ran 74 days (over 10 weeks) before trichombes were milky.
like Waldo said if your going to keep doing this a loupe is a super investment.

About 4-5 weeks to go.

You might also consider cutting off some of those fan leaves to let the light get to the flowers directly

These look three weeks in.

 

[Wristle]

Man you already wanting to cut?

I think your biggest problem is going to be patience haha. It's all good. Just chopped my first plant last night and I'd been wanting to do it for weeks. Now I'm thinking I should have gone another week.

 

[sambapati]

You can sit right here in the sitting room or wait over there in the waiting room

Thank you will do

Everyone in this thread should be considered your new best friends! All great, spot on info for you. Make sure you take it to heart. They are def steering you in the right direction.

There is no need for a loop yet. That thing has a month to 2 left.

 

[Frankster]

Yea, can't have too many loops, I've got one exactly like in the picture (just ordered a few weeks back, but not with the logo) I try to keep a few on hand in case I misplace them, I usually carry one around with me actually, as I"m going blind.

Also, some smartphones do a nice job. Most of them you can "magnify" by pinching the screen inward or outward. I've got a half dozen phones, so they vary, but usually have between 4x and 8x magnification on them.

I've got a nice 51MP microscope coming from China, should be here in the next few weeks.

Looks like another 4-5 weeks from where I'm setting.

Here's my coolest loop, it's antique and several hundred years old, made out of Baleen whale teeth. (I don't carry this one around, as it's very rare)

More pics

 

[sambapati]

Those plants are doing well for you, don't stop thinking about tomorrow....and then wait some more.

 

[Frankster]

Look like a thai variety to me.

 

[Strracer75]

It was a mix of seeds so not really sure on strains which kinda sucks.

 

[HeavyKush]

this plant looks like she's in week 3 and looks sativa dominant so it could be a 10 week plant.
