so then my question in my post. is obviously wrong. it can be really hard to judge that extra plumpness you might get. they seem to grow new trichomes and hairs and then degrade and I suppose it starts over and repeats itself during the flower process. I seen one that was ready and then bam the next week(or few days later) it took on a whole new surge of white hairs which might be why some here are saying you need a few more weeks. its really frustrating for some. experience is one thing but the window for extra weight is hard to judge. especially when its bag seed. this is a hard question to asnwer haha! sucks for me idk about yall! I guess the question would be when does it start to go down hill and degrade before you have shitty bud!

I highly doubt however, that whatever it is you have will be ready at 6-1/2 weeks haha! would be nice... I dont even think blueberry is ready that fast. its about 8-9 weeks. just let her go about 2-1/2 more weeks then report back with more pics. even if its indica most are ready at 9-12 weeks give or take maybe 8-10. so don't jeopardize yield when you could get more weight. even at water weight you will lose most of the weight. so look at that bud and ask if you really wanna risk losing half its weight so early. you might have a 3 gram bud but in reality when its dried you only got maybe a gram. so think about it before you chop her down! because when they shrink up and dry you will be upset. trust us!

Dude, from my readings here at RIU, there are 2 ways to know when to harvest, checking trichrome with a scope or the Color of hairs (pistils) , more red brown hairs or trichromes will give you more stoned body high, less red brown hairs or trichromes will give u head high, so in your case i can't tell because you took the picture under the HPS, which makes it hard to see the Color of the hairs , take another pic with a flash or white CFL , while the HPS is off, i am in my second grow now (my first totally sucked) , today i finished 7 weeks of flowering tomorrow is start of week 8, check the pics they are last weeks (7th Dec) when i finished the 6th week, i guess i'll keep them another week or two cuz i wan't them to get bigger, i grew three, only one was a female :( , if any experts can advise i'll appreciate it , cheers
