Much Longer?

I am thinking about chopping next Thursday. What do you guys think?

they still have at least 2 weeks to go imo, but would benefit from more like 2.5

i agree a few more weeks to many white hairs they will shrink back into your buds and they should fatten up a little more and be so much worth the wait looks good though!!

too early, agreed on that. get a pocket microscope from radioshack it's like 10-15$, worked flawlessly for 10 years+ with me I check trichomes with it to determine ripeness

I have clipped a few ends to check the trichomes with my 40x microscope, they are mostly cloudy, some clear, some just turning amber.

Totally agree with botanist95, ​from my exp. you should wait till the white hair recede/turn orange. You can tell in photos 3 and 7 that its getting there. The buds will swell up noticeably!

Sounds like she is ready.. turn the lights out for 48-72 hours and cut away,

The state of the trichomes you described. Is what I like to see. Some cloudy, some amber.

I determine if its done by looking at the plant overall, are all of the hairs amber and sucking back into the bud? are the lower fan leaves starting to yellow? I usually have an idea when its going to be done by looking at the genetics of the plant as well, if it's indica it will be done flowering earlier, 7-10 weeks, and sativa can be much longer anywhere from 9-14 weeks. By looking at your pictures I would say 2-3 weeks left. The longer you wait the more trichome development you will see. Checking the trichs for cloudy/amber isnt always the best way to determine if its ready to harvest. Some sativas don't even get amber trichs. -chron
