Looking very good! Have you looked at the trichromes under magnification? Just by looking I would probably go another week but depends what the trichromes look like and the type of high you are wanting. The buds look like they could get just a little bigger and swell a bit more. Very pretty, sugary buds! Excellent plant!

Yeah, I have a scope and am checking daily. There are still some clear ones, especially on the lower buds, so I was figuring a week. Actually, I want to chop Sunday. I don't know why Sunday more than Saturday or Monday, but it seems like a good choppin' day! But if it isn't ready, I can let it go for as long as she wants!:hump: I am just getting antsy.:peace:

Looks delicious hmmmm ,

Man they look about done nearly i can see a slight orange tint on some of the tric,s then some other just a bit cloudy ,its days rather than weeks keep a very close eye

You will need a microscope to know for sure 50/50 cloudy amber or 60/40 vise virsa and through time you will learn what suits you best

Very good job ,,,

I don't think you have to chop the entire plant all at once. Can't you chop the ones that are ready and give the branches that are not ready a few extra days?

Yeah, it does have pink hairs. I will find some really good pictures of the pinkies. As far as strain, it is the super duper top secret shit that only I know about. Actually it is bag seed at its worst-bricked up shitty mexi crap. I had about a billion seeds and grew one out. Shows what love can do. Marijuana is Marijuana.

the reason I asked is because I have one that was given to me and I was told that it was some kush, but its got the pink hairs too and I was curious about that.

Since it is commercial Mexican crap, I am sure that it is a pretty pure land race sativa. I doubt they do much breeding there since they don't care about seeds and drying, curing,and like that. I clipped off one of the buds because I was dry/curious and quick microwave dried it. So of coarse it tasted and smelled like shit, but the high was good. A little too speedy, so it definitely needed some more time.:peace: Here are some better pics of the pinkies:hump:

Hmmm, With out knowing the strain of how long they have been in flower. I have to just go off of what the buds look like. From what I see. They have not hit that SWELLING stage that happens in the last 2-3 weeks. But then again maybe that is the strain you have. It would be best if you went to radioshack and bought their $10.99 60X-100X scope and looked at the trichs.

I do have a scope. There are still some clear, so I know it isn't ready. Also, that last picture of all pink hairs is from a week ago at least. Don't worry all, I will harvest when trichs are at least 50/50 cloudy/amber.:joint:
