When Do I Harvest?

So I don't have a 30x magnifier (ordered one the other day) -- but Im getting a little nervous that one of my plants needs to be pulled shortly. These guys are only 50 days old (autoflowers) But it all depends on what the buds look like.. so here's the picture..



The hairs are about 30% orange... and the trichomes seem to be milky. But I can't tell for sure... will someone with more knowledge than I tell me how soon I should pull? Or is this pic not enough info... or should I wait the extra few days until my magnifier comes....

Note: This pic is one of the side nodes, and not of the main cola, which is alot bigger.. I wanted to get as good a closeup as I could with my phone...

Wrong sub forum BUT I'd say give em about 2 more weeks. Like almost all orange hairs. The trichs more around 80% amber unless you prefer sativa then pull em milky.

looks earrrly as fuck


dont pay attention to hairs, as much as the calyxes..


watch the calyxes... as you get closer to peak harvest time, they will fatten up... also sometrichomes should be turning amber... this shows that the trichomes are peaking in THC levels, and are beginning to degrade to CBN/CBD..

yeah, youll see the hairs retract in and the calyxes get nice and fat near the end. it will fill out more, and the leaves will start do deteriorate. then its time.

But you both agree...bout 2 weeks left?

Id say give it a couple weeks............you could pull now but lose out on alot..........never get to edgy........plus you have your cureing time so about 4 to 5 weeks before a product that is smokeable............but thats just me...........ROAR

i cant really tell from that little pic... id need to see it a few weeks back, and now... and the whole flower

could be 2 could be 5 depending on strain

yeah, more pics are necessary to predict it. but i think more than 2 weeks. go as long as you can, its worth it.

It's an auto though...they don't get THAT big.

Great feedback guys! Thanks!

Yea, Im going to give it at least a week, and can relax knowing my magnifier will be here within the week.. so I'm good.

just for a bit hehehehe and my new sig..............ROAR

You can spread some to me lol, your plants look to be about 2 weeks from harvest wait till they turn 80%.

thanks for the + rep ill keep an eye on this thread in case you need anymore advice

So I am curious as to what you guys think of my plants? I really liked the zeus's take on harvesting link. Thanks Verde. My pistols have turned orange and receeded into the buds, triches are plentiful, though I don't have a loupe and don't know what color they are. But none of my leaves are dying or turning yellow??? They are at 62 days into flower. Thanks!





That closeup came out kinda shitty. And I'm too lazy to take another right now.
