Day 40 since 12/12 flip
Are they ready for harvest?

Not aware of any Photo Strain that only takes 40 days, whole plant pic would help folks give you an opinion too.

I posted some whole plant pics in my grow thread last night (see sig). I'd repost here, but I'm not at my computer.
Looks like it will probably be a zippy high at this point.
IMHO you got awhile still, at least a week and probably more. They put on a lot of their "bulk" last week or two. Probably some others with more experience will chime in their opinions.
@angelass - Getting there. For my personal taste, I would harvest within the week.

I say that you have too many white hairs to chop yet. I go for overall "ripeness". I like lots (at least 80%) of withered/retracted pistils and fall colors on the leaves.Day 40 since 12/12 flip
Also, I prefer mostly cloudy with little or no amber, think 90% cloudy to 10% clear at chop. Chronic pain requires us to have the highest THC possible at harvest.
@Dwight Monk I made this 3 way cross (photo x auto x photo) and this particular phenotype finished in 47 days of flower. Unreal. Even Sensi NL that is supposed to be done at 45-56 days goes 9 full weeks in my world. Bummer only 1 of 5 plants expressed this super fast trait, at least I got 4 purple ones.

@concrete everyone has their own interpretation ripeness. You really can chop whenever you want. Without widespread affordable lab tests we are left to our own devices.. generally trial and error to fit our own tastebuds and endo-cannabinoid systems.
@SweetSue recently told me that she prefers to harvest just as the trichomes start to cloud up. You should check out some of her content here on 420. Amazing grower/photographer and even more amazing person.
Peace.

Yes, Sue is on my grow journal and she gave me some good feedback when I started it.
It's getting complex. Just as I thought my plants were finishing, they began to sprout new pistils!

Those are some nice frosty buds for sure. I do think she has a bit of swelling to do yet. I will swing through your journal tomorrow when I am caught up and not completely exhausted.
Peace

@concrete - I would be giving these some more time. She’s not quite ready to give you her best.

Gorgeous! My Critical mass is at 45 days and starting to look ripe.I say that you have too many white hairs to chop yet. I go for overall "ripeness". I like lots (at least 80%) of withered/retracted pistils and fall colors on the leaves.

Hijack - wish I can take pics that clear. Kush @ ~9 weeks since flip...
Me thinks a few more days - What say you?
You can too. I took my pics by taping my 2.5 year old Lg V20 cell phone to a $6 jeweler's loupe.

I would go another 7 to 10 days before cutting. Flowers will increase in size with the additional time. I like the empty seed pods to be swollen at time of harvesting.
