She seems close mate, have you any more pics of her? Have the leaves turned yellow and appear to be drooping like they are about to die off? That's a tell tale sign of her bein ready, if in doubt wait a week and go from there it can't do any harm!

Happy Growing :)

Yea she sounds very close in my opinion but I can't see her in all her glory to get a better perspective.

Don't worry about the hairs bein white/Amber it's the trichomes that you need to go by, if your unfamiliar with the term it's basically the tiny lil crystal like dots covering your bud, if you look under a microscope/decent magnifying glass you will see them enlarged and then you will see if she is ready or not, you need as many as possible to be milky or cloudy, if they start turning Amber then your starting to lose potency so harvest soon as poss! Look at the picture which will give you a good idea.....

Happy Growing :)

Sorry I seemed to have missed those pics lol it appears to me she is very close if not ready, the leaves have yellowed which means the plant is absorbing all the stored energy, sugars etc from the leaves, the pistils appear to be receding into the calyxes which is another good sign that harvesting is close/ready.

I think it's down to personal preference but I think you can harvest now, I've harvested earlier than this before and turned out just great! Good luck mate she looks a beauty!!

Happy Growing :)

Is this your first harvest? If it's is take a look at the harvesting category it can give you a lot of info how to cut her down and drying/curing to get the best out of your buds :)

Honestly I don't know if it's necessary to flush organic nutes or not, look it up on Google or try researchin somewhere else, one thing to bear in mind is don't water in the last 3-4 days before chopping her down as whatever water she will be holding will take longer to dry out! I made a silly mistake by watering the day before I decided to chop on my first grow lol

Happy Growing :)
