First timer, do these look ready to harvest?

This is about week 8, it has grown outdoors and I've been covering it to get the 12/12 for the past 7-8 weeks. There are still white hairs and the Tri chromes look really swollen, but I don't want to harvest early (less potency) or harvest late and lose potency. Need some guidance

hard to tell just from this pic, looks well developed but can't say with 100% degree of certainty with out seeing it under a scope. Go to Radio Shack they sell pocket microscopes that are 100X and sell for just under 20 bucks.

I agree with Istay, Thats the only way to tell when to harvest is looking at the tri's under a microscope

it really amazes me how much this fucking question is asked on a daily basis!!! do kids today know how to read?? as stated by these fellas and a thousand times before, get a scope, inspect trichomes, easy as that!

it looks like a male r u sure thats bud and not pollen sacks ?

Dude if that is a female cannabis plant, do it a favor and chop it now... that little thing is in bad bad shape. Please post a better or closer up pic, by the looks of those leaves it might not be marijuana, i think somebody might have lied to you buddy. No offense but that may be the oddest plant ive ever seen.

Sorry man ive been looking at this for about 20min and i guess you can say im a bit confused, what is going on there? Where did u get the seed, or did u just like find this in the woods and thought it looked like weed or are the leaves just totally burnt up. Im curious to know, dont feel like im attacking you

i'm in the same boat as db1140,

that is the weirdest lil' mother fu*king plant i've seen! haha is it male?!?!

i'm not trying to be offensive... but wow.

we need answers.

If you harvest that thing just be SURE its marijuana before trying to smoke it.

so it looks in the pic as if you have another plant beside this one?? Dude thats not weed, or hell if it is im not sure i would wanna smoke it either. Are the pics just fooling my eyes or what, give us a few answers bro. I guess the other plant my look worse or what, maybe you should show another plant in a pic.

That is the smallest outdoor grow ive seen. Doubt id be smoking that!

I may be wrong... but i think you're getting confused when it comes to trichomes.

to me it sounds like you're getting them confused with the calyxs'.

look at this picture CLOSELY



Trichomes are the tiny balls covering the calyx. they vary in colour depending on the maturity/potency of your plant, as you said.

i don't see many (if any) hairs on your plant also.

lol seriously
wtf is that?

it cant be taller than 6 inches, and most of the leaves dont even look like marijuana leaves

looks like shit do it a favor and kill it!

wow man, people are mean .... haha
what do you have against the poor guy? he had a question, he asked it ... if you know the answer than go ahead and answer it but ... don't critique the kid that bad.
this suppose to be a site where people are helping each other! not laughing at each other!

Looks like MJ to me. It's probably just a combination of weak genetics and a low (no?) veg time. It's also gone through stress, no doubt, so the leaves are all fucked. The leaves don't look like MJ leaves because they're all missing portions of the leaves, and some are only 3-leaved.

im sorry buddy, i dont want to be hating like everyone else but looking at the pic, it really doesnt seem like mj. do you have any better images that could help us determine and if it is, to better determine if it is ready for harvest?
