Arrow 9th week PPP - Are they ready ? Help please !
We are now at the 9th week of flowering my femenised PPP and it seems to me that I don`t have enough redish pistils distribution for a harvest.

However , the buds are starting to get dryer (to the touch) they are not as sticky as they where a week ago. The growth as virtualy stopped altogether for the last 10 days...
9 weeks seems enough too...

Feels to me they should be harvested ... Any idea from you guys ? Please Help out

I'm actually growing PPP myself at the moment a few weeks left to go...will put some pics up, 9 weeks should in my experience be enough for PPP but you really need to look at the trichomes to be 100% sure it still is the only true way of knowing if your plants ready...''

if growth has stopped and the buds have began to dry i'd say its definitely ready for harvest, but if you want to be certain checking the trichnomes with 30x is the way to go.

your looking at the trichomes, or the crystals. Under magnification they look like little mushrooms, you want at least %50 of the caps of those mushrooms to be amber. Trichomes form clear, then turn cloudy, then amber. The more amber the trichomes the more couch lock the high from the weed. on the clearer side is mostly a head buzz

If you cut them now you will get a good mix of high and stone,waiting until all of the hairs are really brown will leave you with a super stoney pot but not so much high.
Personally i never use the scope method
