Hi, so im asking if i should cut now cause they look like they're turning more yellow on the actual flower if you can tell by the video.

I like to check my Trichomes for harvest signalling. To me it looks like normal leaf die off when harvest is getting near.

Without knowing what the trichs look like I would say you're probably a couple weeks, at least, from harvest.

If you can snap a close up of how the trichs look on the plant we should be able to better pinpoint a harvest date for you. Check at different areas of the plant to see if the trichs are where you want them. Sometimes you'll check an area and it'll look ready but the rest of the plant needs a little more time.

Thanks for posting a response to my thread. These are the best pics i could take of the most developed bud on the oldest tree.

Agree with @Smokie08. Still early. When the hairs on the flower all go amber then you're getting near. Hard to tell from the pic because clear trichs can show up as cloudy in photos but the hairs tell the story.

Not sure what you're using for ferts but if you're worried about greening give your plants a shot of some nitrogen or grow or whatever you use. It won't bring back the green in your leaves but it'll green up whatever new growth you have. I like to run a grow/bloom blend up into week 6 of flower so that the media has enough nitrogen to keep everything green. After week 6 it's straight bloom.

What week of flower are you in?

It's still blooming. The white hairs means it's still growing. You could have a week left or two months left. From the size of the buds I'm thinking closer to two months left. How many days in flow are you currently?

They look good the yellowing I wouldn't worry about. I think that's just fast growth and it's still swelling up. They will darken up when they get closer to being finished. You still got some time left.

Autos tend to fall into a pretty predictable timeline. Most of the ones I've seen usually ripen around week 10 of flower. If you're iun week 5 - 6 then you still have a few weeks before they are close to being ready to cut down.

Now is the time to perfect your dry/cure. Growing is only half the battle. Dry/Cure can make or break all your hard work.

I've looked up some videos on that I'm gonna be careful. Hopefully I don't screw that up to.

What you're looking for are the white hairs to all go amber and the trichome mushroom heads to get milky. This is your sign that the plant has matured and is either ready or close to ready to be harvested.

Just as an FYI but CBD growers tend to harvest their flowers in week 6 when cannabanoids are at their peak. Harvest time also depends on the effect you are going for. If you harvest when trichomes are cloudy you'll have a nice balanced high. If the trichomes start to go amber in color then you'll get a more couch lock effect.
