Don't stress on the pistils. What do the triches look like? That is the best way to tell when it is time to chop. Clear triches, keep waiting. Milky triches can be hacked but not the best time if you want couch lock stone, 75-80% of them amber, time to PARTY!!, all dark amber and bending over, too late still smokeable but THC is deteriorating. Good Luck!

you don't have to chop all in one go. some of that looks ready. save the pale buds for last. over the course of a few days they may ripen up nicely. good luck.

i don't have a scope, so i thought i count on triches,

yeah some look good, i guess i'll wait for few days, i just watered it today, i'll keep it 4 to 5 days without water then total darkness for 48hours then chop , is this the right way?

i disagree with these guys..none of that looks ready..the one with the red/brown pistils is closest and that looks like it has 2 weeks..they will get frosted and swell up some more just relax

yeah you've got at least 2 more weeks to go man...watch it over the next 2 weeks and you'll see the dramatic difference as it swells and trichs start popping up everywhere all over those sugar leaves :D

My first grow I chopped when they looked like that and they smelled like hay when they were done drying... Since then I make sure I go by the Trichomes.. My last run with Super OG the pistles kept coming out.... I had some that had amber Trichomes and shitloads of new pisltes.. so go buy one of those $12.00 radio shack scopes and check the triches.... You want to make sure those buds are mature when chopped and keep that skunky smell

thank you all for your help, i guess i should get one of them scopes , so this is the most accurate way to tell ha,
and by the way the smell is awesome already , i can smell it right at the door even before opening it, the pictures aren't that good quality but i see a lot of triches already , but can't tell if they are cloudy yet with my naked eye , here are some good pics
