Help me decide chop time!

[dutchroot]

Hello! Exactly 7 days ago I posted some trichome photos and someone on the forum helped me estimate that it was 7-10 days from chop.

Today is the first day of that window, so I figured I should do some crowdsourcing again and see what you all think. This is my first grow so I want the extra reassurance :)

There are 2 strains in the tent. Here are their photos taken today 7/26/2023:

Crazy Glue (Bubba Kush x GG#4)

Berry Crunch

Additional question: I have 2 strains in the tent. When I chop, should I chop everything at the same time, or is there any reason to try to stagger it? I only have the one tent so I think I have to chop all at once so I can use the tent to dry, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Chop em both. If you have not flushed, 2 days flush with straight ph water and chop.

This really comes down to what you want out of your weed. This is going to cure primo thc after a 2 day flush. You’ll be bright white after cure.

Well it would depend on what kinda high your looking for from your bud. If you cut them now they will have a More cerebral kinda daytime high. While if you wait till there is more amber than cloudy you will get a more sedating high. (This is relative of course, genetics still plays a large role in what kinda high your gonna experience)

I'd say you're in the window. Waiting would provide a more mellow high. I always stress myself when I'm trying to decide when to chop, even though I'm sure a few days one way or the other probably won't make much of a difference.

It sounds like you should do both so you can dry them both. I haven't found a better place to dry them than a tent with climate controls. It's what I use.
