I agree a loupe is great but the idea behind it needs more explaining before peeps jump in and use it as gospel. Just with a loupe it is hard to tell the whole story and im sure some of you guys will appreciate that there again lies a certain skill to using a loupe and judging the whole harvest from it even which part of the plant and other optic angles to use.

i agree, you have to take the whole plant's state into it, how faded the leaves are, how much the pistils have colored and receded, and the condition of the trichs all figure into it. a lot of strains don't amber anymore, so you really have to rely on the other cues for those strains, in particular

They look beautiful and are just getting past the harvest window in my opinion. I would harvest anytime. I don’t want to see too many degraded ambering trichs.

And I do agree with that I never let them go too late on any strain bc I don't want sleeping meds! But at the same time under ripe buds suck and are airy and don't weigh anything that's the only reason I'm hesitant!

Of jelly pie??? I think I can see that I have one pheno with a total of 2 red hairs lol looks like it just entered flower! And the other 2 phenos look like they could use about 2 more weeks!

No not jelly pie. I don’t even know any of these new strains. But it doesn’t matter. In fact the more times they cross these hybrids the more phenos may result.

Also so many variables come into play that different grows of the same pheno will still have varied flower time.

For example. I like to bend and train plants into a bush in flower as they stretch. Just that tends to add a week or two to the bloom cycle as they stretch up their low branches.

I agree and go through this almost every week as I harvest my next plant from the perpetual garden.

I also like to feel the buds turn a bit “glassy” as the cloudy trichs start to stratify. And I want them to feel thick and firm. And well look and feel truly finished.

But too much brown and damaged looking trichs and thc has already been lost. And I’m sure the other canabanoids as well.

At least too early cut is much worse than too late it seems.
