Think these are ready?

Not sure why these pics are sideways? They were right side up when I uploaded them.

I did a trichome check and non of them are more than 20% cloudy but the cheese pistils are >30% turned. Maybe they'll push some more out?

Hi Inthewind,

It's hard to tell from the pics, but the papaya looks like it might be the closest to harvest. I personally would give it another week or even 10 days before I chopped. It kind of all depends on what type of high your after though. I know I really struggle with waiting long enough toward the end of a grow.

Be well and happy growing.

Don't worry about pistils. If you're only at 20% cloudy I would definitely wait longer.

You've still got about 3 weeks to go

hard to tell, you need to see your trichomes magnified to determine how close you are to done. Here's what you want to see.

Wait till most of the white hairs have turned amber and receeded into the calyx. At this point you should see the calyx's swell and right about there is where you want to start looking at your trichomes. When it is still pushing out a lot of white pistils, its still swelling and you want to give it at least 2-3 more weeks.

Thanks Icemud, Trichomes, JJ Bones, and TanR. Appreciate the comments.

The cheese aren't pushing that many pistils and have a finish of 6-8 weeks. I'm really keeping an eye on them because I'm about at 7 weeks. I started Botanicare CNS17 Ripe two weeks ago on them and they are filling out just not turning like they should. Maybe that lengthens the finish time? I kinda doubt it but hey, anythings possible.

I'm also realizing the problem with attempting 3 different strains! Different finish times means different harvest times, trim times, dry times, cure times etc...

All in all not too bad for first time back in 3 years!
