Hardest part is deciding when it’s ready to chop...

[Anonymous_grower]

I always have a hard time deciding if it’s ready to chop or not, I have a Handheld magnifying Glass but still can’t decide if it’s clear or cloudy..they look slightly cloudy but I guess some could say that’s still clear?? , some look clear but with a tint of amber, others are completely amber, they just started their 9th week of flower, seeds said 8 weeks but I understand that is in perfect conditions, I started counting when I first saw hairs not at the flip, the hairs have all gone from white to reddish, I know y’all can’t give me a very accurate answer but suggestions would be great.

Buds "look ready" at least a week or two before they're really ready. If you can see amber trichs, are they on the flowers or the leaves? Leaves don't count.

Once you start seeing amber on flowers, it's a few days to a week, in my grow. It could take shorter or longer, depending on temps and the strain.

When in doubt, it's not ready.

Another week. Just give water. Then let it dry a few days then look at it.

I lmao at people who think there is one exact day they have to cut. Harvesting a few days before or after the "perfect day" ain't gonna matter much. And how the hell did anyone ever manage to grow good pot before the scopes were invented?

Personally if it's showing amber on buds at all I'd give em 2 days of dark and chop before they see the light

Well as long as they've have atleast a no nutes flush or 2

If your not sure, add 10 days to what the breeder says

I do check the buds not leaves, The buds do have amber about 10-15% are truly dark the others look clear/cloudy with some having a tint of amber but not fully dark but will give them a bit longer, thanks
