This is my first try at a home grow. I've kept everything alive and buds are looking frosty... now I just need to make sure I harvest at the right time. Are these ready to harvest? Thank you!

Hey Drizz......a quick lil test, without any visualization, which you did provide, is to squeeze a bud, the very bottom bud....

Is it soft? Needs more time
Is it mediumish? Could be done, depending on preference
Is it hard? It's done

If you’re east of the Rockies they are done! If you are west of them, you have another month!

First time grower here too, to me it looks like this needs more time, but I’ve not had a harvest yet so what do you experienced growers think?

Looking good but still a few weeks out. Keep an eye for the trichomes close up like in this pic and watch for them turning amber on the pistils (not on the sugar leaves!)

Once you have around 5-10% amber trichomes you’re good to harvest

Good luck bud!
