Hi all,

Got fast flowering purple lemonade on the left and peanut butter breath on the right with the yellowing leaves,

The trichomes are looking milky (I’m looking for highest content of thc) but there are still many white pistils, also buds under the canopy are still small and immature.

I’m worried if I leave them too long the buds will start yellowing but also don’t want to harvest too early!

Any ideas? Well appreciated in advance thanks

When the trichomes are all cloudy, that's max THC.

Does this look like a harvestable crop to you or does it look like it needs longer?

If lower buds are very immature should I harvest the mature ones and give more room and time?

Thanks bud

I can't tell from that clip. People do harvest in phases. I've never done it, but it's a thing.

The plants look good and it's hard to tell from the vid in that light if they're ready. My instinct at first look was they need more time. Without really good magnification it's always just a guess. You need really close up pics of trichs where you can tell the difference between the stalk and the head. That's the only true indicator of THC vs CBD content etc....

Like this close


And you can totally harvest in phases if you have the patience lol

I’m going to chop the mature looking buds and let the small immature ones go and see what they do, try different harvest times

Good evening fellow growers. This is my first grow and Ive been a bit late at every step trying to blindly follow youtube growers, and trying to learn from my mistakes at the same time. Ive spent so much money on all equipment I need to grow some great batches proving how committed I am to learning and growing for many years to come. My girls are in week 7 and a bit smelly so far in my grow tent in my basement. Ive messed up to the point I had to flush a couple weeks ago and now I am at this stage. I know average autoflower is roughly 10 weeks life cycle, but since Im about to enter week 8 Im concerned. I keep RH at roughly 45-48 and temps for daytime: 74-76 Degrees Night: 64-68 Degrees. I have a little bit of trichomes it looks like, but nothing like ive seen here. Im giving them foxfarm trio in worm casting tea, being careful not to take my PPMs past 600-700 (trying not to force a flush til end again). I keep PH at 6.2 - 6.4 everytime. I plan on a straight watering with spring water next time with no nutes at all as sometimes I get antsy and want to forcefeed them. Can you guys give me some tips judging by the pics I post and info Ive given? Also, judging by the pics and the fact its at 7 weeks, how much more time do I have for these girls to fatten up their buds before harvesting? Thanks in advance guys. Any and all advise welcomed.
