Harvest time?

[Dank1231]

My Jewelers loupe is too difficult to use and can't seem to tell if ready. I know it may be harder to tell ifrom this view but is there any other way to tell without using a loupe? Here are the pics below.

That looks done to me. The loupe is the best way though. Check the trichs if possible. Maybe pull a small tester and try it

It looks like you are in the harvest window. Really hard to tell. Some strains the hairs dry up really early. Way before the trichomes are ready. As far as hairs are concern it looks ready to me.
Other indicators are.

The harvest time they stated. Are you within those days?

Buds swelling. Lots of times buds will really swell up in the last couple of weeks. The pods where the seeds normally are will swell up just like there was a seed in it. Have you seen anything similar to that?

When buds swell branches get heavy. Lots of strains will get really droopy as the buds swell past the point the branches can hold. Plants will fall over if not supported. Even some supported plants the buds will droop as far as they can. Have you seen anything like that?

On the bright side. I do believe you are passed the point of losing to much THC if you harvest now. The high may be on the heady side but it should still be strong.
