should i harvest soon or wait

still see some white hairs give it some more time and is that week 10 of flowering or from seed

My LA con turns yellow ten purple then black. If thats La genetics, flush her more. I see a lot of green on the fan leaves

Buy a 30x magnifier. Look at the trichomes. You CANNOT tell if a plant is done by looking at the "Hairs". Some plants will have white "hairs" even after it is finished. The "hairs" are actually called Pistils and are there to collect pollen and they will stay healthy and white as long as the plant is healthy and properly cared for. Your goal is good ripe trichomes. Since you are working with a strong indica strain I would recommend letting the trichomes mature a little longer than some other strains. I would expect a nice strong indica punch from an LA confidential plant and that is achieved by letting the some of the trichomes become amber before harvesting the plant. When you see the trichomes going from a silver/blue color and starting to turn to amber its a good time to begin harvest. The longer you wait the more "couchlock" your weed will develop. This is only true for a certain period of time. Indica plants have about a 7-10 day period where the flavor and stone will be perfect. Also, your plants will naturally "Fade" at harvest time. If you harvest a plant with super green leaves it probably isnt ready and wont have the best taste. Let it start to naturally yellow. The yellowing is the natural process of the buds sucking the sugars from the leaves and converting it into starches for trichomes and terpenoids. If you think it is done WAIT ANOTHER WEEK. It may turn purple on you during the final days. It would be worht waiting just to see what she does.

She has a little nutrient burn also. Keep feeding her clean water and she will fill in a little more and start to yellow out really soon. She has more bud to give you if you let her swell up. The final weeks are often when indica plants swell up. Be patient!

Well Running around telling everyone you're growing and them telling you to take them down now because they want weed....Good Luck with you're future endeavors. Hope you have a Lawyer on retainer and some sort of personal protection, you'll most likely need one if not both in your future...

no it's not like that at all. this is all legal under state law. only 3 different people have actually seen the plant who i caregive for, and have known for 10-15 years. i have about 20 plants and never . they all harvest on a different schedule. yes i also have personal protection, i have a cwp and glock 9mm. never had to use it, probably never will nor do i hope i will ever have to. i rarely smoke, im only a caregiver really. i do have my own card too though for the rare occasions i do smoke. you cant be under the influence and carry a cwp.

this is nothing new to me. i been doing this since it became legal in michigan. i live in marquette upper michigan. i just like getting additional opinions at harvest for every plant.

week 10 flower

Bud looks immature, not filled out. Without looking at trichs, I would guess 2-3 more weeks at best.
