Outside Greenhouse Grow

hello all,

I've attached some pics of the current grow.
Theres a mixture of different grow times and so on...
The issue I have is, I have two females that have budded but it's only late spring/early summer (aus grower here). Do they look ready to pluck or leave em in for a bit longer, obviously now it's like 14 hour days (although they only get 8 hours direct sunlight, 6 shaded light) and getting more and more each day.
in the pics there are two/three budding and four or so normal growing plants.

i've take a little of some of the budding plants to cure and smoke test.
but they really didn't grow big enough to start budding, fuck all yield

we've had a quiet a cold dark spring so far, so i think the plants think its the end of summer already and started budding..ffs

Personally I think you should wait. Looks like they just started flowering and need time to fill out and increase trichome production. An easy way to determine whether or not a plant is ready to cut is a 30x magnifying glass. Like a jewelers loop. You look at the trichomes (tips of mushroom shaped crystals) and if they've gone from clear to a cloudy white-ish color, that means the chemicals in the plant have metabolized into THC. This is often more of a heady mental high. When they begin to turn an amber color, the THC is starting to degrade into other cannabinoids like CBD(cannabidiol) or CBN(cannibinol), often imparting a more sedative high. Hope this helps!

PS. I have a couple threads going on, wanna swing over and post your opinion?

what do you think of the plant (imag00020)? what do the brown pistils indicate?
I'll deffinatly wait for the other plants, but this one(with the darkened pistils) looks more ready?

and with the sunlight hours expanding, will this lose budding power or thc amount ?

I'd still wait man, the pistils changing color means very little. I've grown bud that had white hairs on it still and was more than ready, and I have one late flowering sativa dominant plant STILL in my garden now, when I harvested all my other plants 3-4 weeks ago(California), it has all brown pistils but i don't think it's gonna be ready for another two weeks. The only surefire way to check is to get a 30x magnifying glass.
