Am I ready to Harvest???

Hi guys, I know this question is asked over and over but i'm a first timer and not sure if my plants are ready to harvest yet. I've been growing 3 plants mostly indoors under a 250W MH bulb, i started to put them outdoors during the day during the veg cycle and noticed the white hairs on the nodes but 3 months in since they sprouted i figured the natural light in early July would keep them vegging but it didn't.

I have 3 females, grown from seed (unknown), one plant consistently has been taller, more leafer, bigger than the other 2 almost since the start. Maybe they are different strains but other than the size they seem like the same strain.

The big one has been on12/12 for about 4-5 weeks. the 2 smaller bushier ones on 12/12 for about 4 weeks. The larger one has had orange/brown hairs on the buds for about a week or 2. The smaller 2 have just started to get orange hairs. i don't have a loupe so i can't maginfy and see the trichomes or whatever.

Do they look ready? I'd love to wait longer and let them bulge but i want to harvest at the right time. on the big one, there are lots of side branches with small bud sprouts that are pretty well blended with orange hairs but the top seems to be still pretty white.

The more close together leaves, bushiers ones are the smaller plants. i topped them both off (during very early flowering since i didn't think they started yet). One grew 3 heads and the other 2 heads. the big one just has one top cola.

Thanks,

id say a couple more weeks... harvest some of those lower ones you were talking about and quick dry them... itll give you a little idea of what you have in store from the main shit but you definately could let it go and have a much better harvest like atleast 2 weeks probably even more for the little ones like you said you want the best harvest possible... theyll probably fatten up mad in those last couple weeks

yea i agree. at least 2 more weeks. 3 or 3 and a half more realistically would give you the biggest and nicest yield. good job so far!
