Week 8 of flowering wondering if this one is ready?

[Jessiejames69]

All right here's an update guys. End of week 8 now just curious what you guys think. You think it's ready to harvest I want to do a wet harvest this time around I've never done it before first time grower so guys be nice

Nice and frosty.. it doesn't look far away. Have all the pistils changed colour or is there still some white ones??. have you checked to see what colour your trichomes are?

 

[Jessiejames69]

I'm checking today got a x3 magnifying glass with led....I'll keep you posted on the color I'm hoping 10 percent amber thricromes I've heard that's the best time to pull them

Yup!! That's what I go for.. it's still a guessing game.. as long as there's no clear ones really. But it all depends on what type of effect your after.. snip a bud at different stages and you will know for the next grow, what the differences are.. I get all paranoid if there's loads of clear showing. But everyone is different...

Hello @Jessiejames69 hope you are well my friend.
Great garden.
As @Squiggle mentioned there are white pistols showing.
That means buds are still flowering and building for you.
Let the white pistols crinkle and turn red.
Then get a good pic of trichomes.
Clear/cloudy more energetic feeling.
Cloudy/amber more relaxed feeling.
Keep up the great work.
Bill

Looks pretty good! I'm sure it's probably good to chop now but have a look at your trichomes on the actual buds, not the sugar leaves. I try to aim for about 70%cloudy and 30% amber color before I harvest, and even then I may only harvest half the plant and let the rest catch up for a few more days and then chop the rest, it's all up to your preferences though.

 

[Jessiejames69]

Thank you.

Looking good dude - as @Squiggle says, everyone is different and I like mine a tad early and don't even look at the trichomes with a scope
Once the majority of pistils have gone redbeard, that's good for me - I want a buzz, not couchlock

What strain is this - looks good but the flowers could stand a little more fattening up.

Wait for the smell to change then start looking at trichomes.

I go by change of smell then verify with a look see at the trichomes.

Looks good brother you on the right track steady the course. Wont be long now.

IF I was outta weed, I'd probably chop.

 

[Jessiejames69]

I was told strain was deadhead OG.

 

[bobrown14]

Should wait for the smell... it's got Chemdawg in the lineage should get some decent smell going any day now. Looking good

 

[Jessiejames69]

Bro smell is awsome there's no question is there. The smell got me salivating........

 

[bobrown14]

When they get ripe the smell changes that's what I go by. Then check the trichomes to be fer sure.
Its gonna be hard to wait, your plant looks fantastic. I have the same problem right now.

Got 2 ladies taken their good old time. Can't rush mother nature.

Get a jewelers loop on Amazon. Needs to be high powered . I never chop mine until 60% or more amber trichromes...much heavier buzz so just smoke less if you don't want to be too buzzed.

I'm surprised how many wait for most of the trich's to go amber. I'll have to try it. I use a microscope plugged into my lap top and I harvest at about 10% amber. That's my buzz. All good and good luck.
