I don't know if my plant is ready to harvest!! please help me

I've been wondering if my plant is ready to harvest, but i definitely need help i'm not sure of what to do. And also i really want to harvest at the best point. Its my first successful plant, so i hope you excuse my ignorance.

im a newbie to growing but from my experience with weed over the past years id say they still have some more flowering to grow

The best way to tell is go to your local head shop and buy a 420 scope and check the trics. There are still a lot of white pistils on it, most of them will turn amber and curl back by the time it is ready. What day did you put it into flower? If you remember that then add at least 8 weeks.

you likely have about 2 to 3 more weeks for the best results, you could harvest right now but the buzz wont be as full and yield will be lost, it still has pistols that are very much alive and you can see from the picture many clear trichomes but mostly milky, I say two or three weeks but really it is any day now that you will start to see major changes but I am not a psychic, it is best when they get this look yours has for you to just wait 2 to 3 weeks and it will be fine smoke regardless, goodjob my friend and congratulations.

Keep an eye on the overall hue of the plant and you will see it get darker as the trichomes amber and more pistols recede, notice the sparkle will go away and the plant looks snow covered instead of shiny as the trichomes turn from clear & milky into opaque and amber. You really don't need a scope to see this after some experience but it sure can help you learn about your plants in particular and the maturation process.

here is a good read on cannabis maturation: http://www.kindgreenbuds.com/marijuana-grow-guide/cannabis_maturation_harvesting.html

agreed two more weeks at least. when you get a microscope remember for a more up lifting high you want really cloudy trichomes with little bits amber for more of a couch lock effect a lot more amber. A lot a people like when its half and half to capture both kinds of high's....good luck
