Is my plant ready for harvest?

[Newbgrower1]

Hey guys I know I’m looking at the trichomes to determine if it’s ready. Id just like a nice couch lock on this one. Any and all help is appreciated.

Not ready.

Look at all the white stigmas. When they're red, THEN check trichs.

Thanks my only issue is the hairs that are red have been for two weeks now I feel like the white ones just aren’t getting any darker. I’m on day 2 of week 10 and they call for a 9 week flower period. I’m gonna wait till this weekend and see if anything changes. Appreciate the advice.

The flower times reported by most breeders is an optimistic estimate, at best. Sometimes it's just total bullshit.

I can guarantee it will be worth every additional day you give the plant. If you need weed, just take a branch and let the rest mature.

You do not chop by the pistils ignore them, you chop by trichome, when all your trichome is milky you can chop but an early chop will go straight to your head, if you want a nice body high you will need some amber me I run my plants till I get 20 percent amber and your a little early so if it were mine and it's not I would most certainly keep her going, I know you want to chop but the plant does not care it's on her time not yours, the breeder will give you a guesstimate on how long it takes to run under optimal conditions but in the end the plant does not care, she needs more time.

Oh really? Since when? So i could have a plant totally white with pistils but as long as the trichs are cloudy shes done? Yeah not buying anything you say dude

I have always read that the more amber the trichs are, the more the THC is turning to CBD/CBN which = more couch lock. For couchlock (indica feel) I would personally go with 25%-50% amber trichs..... Just my opinion Peace!

If your pistils turn before your trichome your plants are not done, if your trichome is milky you can chop simple as that.

If you got cloudy trichs and a ton of white pistils something is wrong. Some strains will will keep putting out white pistils here and there but not as the majority.

I go by trichs if I’m really worried about it. I thought this was common knowledge and I never agree with anything dude says lol

Yea I took one branch off so I don’t run out next week. But I think I’m gonna go another week. I definitely don’t want to harvest early it’s just so hard to wait lol it smells and looks amazing. But I gotta be patient lol I know

A cpl more pics. I feel like it’s ready but still not sure. I’m seeing a decent amount of amber but I still feel like there’s some clear in there. It’s so hard to get good pics. I might try the microscope again.
