Harvest now or wait for loupe

[Mari0s]

Hi my friends,
I'm growing for the first time and the strain is Ethiopian Highlands sativa as it's my only option availabe.
I can't buy a loupe due to my location and it would take a week or two to arrive to my remote location, I would like your openions and help for when to harvest if the aim is head high and not body high please.

Definitely needs more time. You have enough time to order the loupe.

Thanks for your reply,
If I couldn't get my hands on a loupe, is there any other way to know the harvest time?

You have lots of white hairs left, wait till more are turning brown.
But if it rains they can also get brown.
Interesting genetics !

95-100% dark orange hairs and very swollen calyxes.

The burnt tips of the leaves look like overfeeding.
And also very curved leaves, not sure what that means.

The curved leaves are also overfeeding.

The curved leaves are also overfeeding.

But its not like a claw, its completely curved, in the background as well.
I think you are right anyway.

When nitrogen toxicity gets more severe, the leaves do that.

Ok
I saw Bodhi has some Ethiopian variety as well, supposedly with a very nice sativa buzz, gotta try some day...

I stopped feeding the plants two weeks ago, just plain water rated at 1070 PPM

That is not plain water, you want the water to read at less than 100ppm for flushing.

I think that sativa doesnt need much food...

Is that an issue? And when to start using water less than 100 PPM

2 weeks before harvest so you're still not there yet. But even now you need to lower ppm because you're plants have toxicities.
