Am I ready for harvest? Pictures

[Matto835]

Hi guys I really feel that I am closing in on harvest time, this is my first grow and I've come this far and dont want to mess it up, I'm growing auto flowers 4 gorilla glues and one northern lights, most of the hairs have gone orange, but the bud doesn't seem to have filled out to much? I bought a jewelers loop but I find it hard to tell clear from foggy.

Need at least a week more from what I can tell.

If you see mostly dark orange pistols you are there or there abouts.

You have done well. Harvesting a bit early or late is no failure.

In hindsight I would have had harvested half my first crop a week or so earlier and enjoyed a trippier high sooner. Benefitted from less stuff to manage drying in one go, reducing risk and ending up with two different buds from one plant as the later harvested buds would have slightly different characteristics.

Don't sweat it...you are at the finish line

Great thanks for the advice! Should I leave it in the dark for 3days before I cut them down?

I wouldn't as it is unlikely to improve anything noticeable.

I think that the orange hairs are not an effective way of answering this question. You want to play with the loupe until you can see amber or cloudy trich heads, that said I admit it takes practice to see through those things
