Is my plant ready to chop?

I've been growing this beautiful plant since April. I had noticed it started flowering August 19th and now it is 4 weeks and 5 days past that point. The bud looks good but I had to move my plant (in the bucket) to a different area so that no one knew where it was. exactly 2 weeks into flowering i took off a good portion of the fan leaves and the flowers have started to look quite a bit like buds. I got to know how much longer to let it grow because this new area presented new bugs and my plant is not being eaten the shit out of, it's just there's one branch where 3 leaves have been eaten up a little and it's been about a week to a week and a half since i noticed it start, so really I'm not too worried about it. i know the plant will only be growing at most 3 weeks. I just can't do anything about it when the plant is this far into flowering. So. How long would you say i need to wait based on this picture (it was a wee bit windy)? try and zoom and see what you think. I have no way to magnify it and look at the trichomes so if you can help please do! I've seen on this site people that chopped their plants before they looked like this and just wondering what other growers think.

ONCE AGAIN!!! NOBODY CAN TELL YOU IF YOUR PLANT IS READY FOR HARVEST!!!!!!! PLEASE, BEFORE ASKING DUMB ASS QUESTIONS LIKE THIS... PLEASE.. TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE FORUMS... TO FIND THE ANSWER.

Whats the point in having a forum site... when people don't even use it correctly?!?!?! Brainless idiots.. and you know who I'm talking too. The ones that ask questions like this..

We have no way of telling you if its ready man.. its impossible. Oh wait, well.. yeah just go ahead and chop her down man. She's good...

thats the lamest excuse I've ever read in my life. You have no way of looking at the trichs huh?!?! Bullshit.. everyone on this site is able to get themselves a magnifying glass.. or jewlers scope.. so don't try and sit there and tell people that you have no way of checking it for yourself.

Man... some people... the nerve!

good luck.. because nobody else is going to tell you different. Go out and get yourself a scope just like everyone else has done.. and check them for yourself.. because once again.. its impossible for us to tell you if your plant(s) are ready to harvest.

Done.

looks like a good 1.5 months to go

sounds to me like somebody needs some ganja
ooooohhhh the relaxing qualities of the herb, how i adore thee

Hey buddy don't worry about people being asses to you.... he should have just past your post by if he didn't like it or could have advised you of things a little better then he did. That's no way to help a fellow grower. But yes there are a few places you can check for these types of answer but sence you are here I might as we tell you how to check to see if your plant is ready to harvest. The best way is to go to radio shack or someplace like that and buy you a 30x microscope and look at the trichomes on your buds. Once you see that about 75% of them have changed from a clear milky color to a brown milky color you are ready. Cut to soon wont be as strong, wait to late your plant will start to take back resin and again will equal not as strong as it could have been.

if ye've nothing positive to say, dont bother saying it. your rant was useless. just ignore the stupid questions and they will go away, as in drop off bottom of board. But if yer gonna post in it, at least keep it constructive gangaluvr

Tell the guy he needs to get a microscope of x20 or better so he can see the colours of the heads on the crystals.

Mostly a clear colour and too early, would just give head high n b giggly, mostly cloudy/amber is prolly about right for a first timer, mix between head high and couchlock and if they are already all amber and going darker, chop right away as it will already be a total couch lock stone.

There, all that said in about the same time and same amount of words as it took you to rant.


//edit ^^ i was beaten to it. as you can see the there is no perfect harvest time, each person likes a diff colour of crystals.
