Too long in flower?

[Hairy plopper]

So im towards the end of my 1st grow and my main problem has been to many in a small space, and ive had to do 2 pulls so far and working on the 3rd now. My friend who has helped a little in tye past has told me i need to pulp them before the end of the week bcuz theyre tryimg to die that if i leave them any longer the thc strength will dissapear and theyre no good. Does this sound possible

No not really, the harvest window stretch’s for weeks not days. Some people harvest early some late it’s just personal preference. Do you have photos of the plant in question?

Im still not sure if i need to pull them or not cause ideally id like to try and grow them more before i do

Buying a cheap 10-13$ Jeweler's loupe or a nice 27$ Jiusion 40 to 1000x magnification endoscope for a computer is the best way to know everything you need to know. By just looking at plant pictures for us is not really going to help you.

Yeah i he did explain alot about it, it sounds like he might be right. He said to look up digital scope but id never heard about it i was beginning to think i would have months of pulling left at but they definetly have been cloudy like that for sometime so does that mean i can keep the immature looking buds that dont look frost going for a few more weeks then

@Hairy plopper How long has your plants been flowering? When i don't use our Zorb, I hardly ever do anymore now, I personally go by the stigmas/pistils. I prefer my bud on the "racey" side, so I harvest a touch early. This equates to when the pistils are about 50% curled back. This is also when the trichomes are about 50%-80% cloudy as well. The plant stops producing new pistils. Most smokers prefer a "couch locky" type of high and wait to get a touch of Amber in the trichomes. This will be when just about all pistils are curled back.

This is just my experience and opinion. Which at times doesn't amount to much.

...and still again, I have seen plants that didn't display true stigmas/pistils. Stumped the heck out of me. On the whole (chuckles), stigma/pistil curl back is a pretty good indicator as well. How's about some regular light photos. The HID can be a touch obscuring.

Ok im understanding it, thanks. Some days it feels like the more i read the more off track i get, nice smoke lol

They been in flower 19 of june so im coming up to just over 2 months in flower and 5 months all up of growing. Sorry i was so baked last night my brain just wasnt reading anything properly. I did try to work out the dates but i fell asleep shortly after smh but its nice to have learned about the picking times yesterday as i also prefer my high to be uplifting. I will be looking into buying a digital microscope/jewellers this week, the photos would be nice to keep im sure. All my photos are taking on a galaxy s10 witch i just upgraded to from the 9 im terrible at using phones and computer, i did notice the photos looked different and thought it was just a shitty camera
Ill look on google and try to work out how to change it over from hid as i would also like my photos to look natural under the lights. Thankyou for the reply, i did try to research it but i was only getting the generic grow chart but was looking more towards what to do when your times exceed the expected. Sorry if msgs are hard to understand i find talking in person alot easier but not possoble lol yeah i did really well with this grow ive already pulled easily 30 ounces but to long in vegg with to many in my tent was my biggest down fall but learned alot with this cycle and look forward to my next.

It’s hard to tell under the Hps but it looks like you still have a ways to go. It’s still pushing out fresh white pistils.

Yes even the buds currently hanging still have white hairs and a few
