It's not exactly my first grow, but I have a bad tendency to harvest them early and my endoscope broke and I haven't got a magnifying glass and so here goes - is this lady done yet?

It's an OGK mother plant that lost half its root to untreated coco coir and also suffered from heavy deficiencies, also introduced with this devilish coco coir (initially magnesium and later NPK in general). On top of loosing half its roots, it also lost maybe 40% of its leaves as I sprayed it with too strong an insecticide (it did kill all the spider mites though). After this I vegged it for another few weeks - more like three or four maybe, where it recovered somewhat. I didn't actually expect even this little a harvest and almost tossed it on several occasions. It's grown in Organic homemade soil (worm poop, rice husks and what's left of the untreated coco coir)...

Back to the question (am baked and babbling).
Should I harvest now or give it another few days?

So, I agree that it doesn't look like it's ready, BUT keep in mind that this is a plant that has recovered from heavy damage (50% estimated root loss from last transplant + 60%+ foliage lost to pesticide and more recently from heat) and it hardly has any leaves left - I added a picture of the whole plant and some more detailed bud pictures. Point is I doubt I will get much more in weight and I'm worried it will have other issues before harvest. E.g. if I wait two weeks, I doubt there'd be much left...

Yeah im afraid they look a ways away from harvest. What lighting are u using? It kind of looks like the buds didnt have the best of lighting.

How long have they been flowering? and have you looked at the tricomes yet?

I'm using the sun and it's only one plant flowering - unfortunately it's more than 40 degree Celsius on most days, for at least the 3 hours around noon (maxed out at 43 degree Celsius yesterday).
I'm waiting another week and then I'll see if I can't get a magnifying glass somewhere...
