Got a Female Seeds Pure AK in bloom. 76 days of 12/12. Normally I would just let her go until I felt she was ready, but I have some company coming soon and may need to chop her soon so the buds can be in jars before they arrive. I don't think she'll go longer than their visit (9 days from today), but I could be wrong.

I have not been able to see much amber at all on the calyxes, but plenty on sugar leaves. I try to go by calyxes.

Might be ok, nothing in my veg space so I can get a carbon filter for the exhaust and put the drying plant in there (no lights).
 
lol I love the replies here. Since when do most know when to chop by looking at a plant?

Unless you check your trichomes with a 30-100x scope you don't really know. Mostly cloudy skies is what you want, less clear as possible and some amber.

i never keep track of dates or use a microscope. i can tell when a plant is "done".

You are obviously not the majority. Most likely a noob or even a novice and advanced growers cannot just look at a plant and know when to harvest. They may say they can, but they can't.

At 22,000 plus posts I expect you to have superpowers.

Most people with a good number of grows can look at a plant and tell you if it is finished.. It is perfectly easy to tell if a plant is ready to chop. This "check" the trichome stuff is a load of bollocks, just people being anal thinking they're a scientist. few if any farmers of any kind break out microscopes to see when their fruits or flowers are "ready", they have the experience to tell by look a smell or a touch. You emjoy your microscope :D

You obviously have a long way to go when it comes to growing cannabis. It is VERY easy to tell when a plant is ready to be harvested from the look alone.
You do know that checking trichomes means sweet fuck all. People like cannabis as they like it, if they see a plant, harvest it and enjoy it, then that is the end of it, there is no question of "but the trichomes were not amber". They got a plant, harvested it, and enjoyed it, the grow was a success.

You need to grow some more weed..
