Close up of trichomes: am I ready to harvest?

[Texahontas]

To me they look cloudy. Not much amber but some?? Thoughts out there? Am harvesting this one now but should I wait on the other two?

Are the close ups 3 different plants or different parts of that one plant? First pic I'd harvest but the other two I'd give longer. Check in another week maybe.

You are in the harvest window but agree with VetSmoke- need more info,

Hey VetSmoke85..... Thank you for serving our great nation!!

 

[VetSmoke85]

You could harvest that now. Personally I'd give it a few more days and check again but it really is down to personal preference.

This is a closer look at the one I’m harvesting today. First grow. Might have jumped the gun?? But have two others to go. Will give them more time. Def some amber no? End of week 9. N Lights auto outdoor grow in Canada.

Thanks. Was an honour to serve. Not sure where you are in the world but I'm a UK veteran.

Yeah I'd say maybe a little early but it depends what you like. Might find it's a little speedy.

Texahontas - you’ve done well on your garden, they look sticky!

Too right we are. Had the pleasure of working with US forces a number of times.

I don't know what strain you are growing or what effect you are looking for??? I personally look for lots of amber trich's, as I use my weed in the evening for insomnia.

Thank you for your service!

I do it based on shape too. Of course I’m looking at trichs and pistils. If christmas tree chop all at once. If you’ve got layers like lowers, mids & uppers then partial harvest might help - take the tops and leave mids and lowers to fatten up for another week or two. All depends on your skill and your preferences.

Beautiful plants @Texahontas Congrats on the grow! What part of Canada? I'm in Manitoba right now and have 2 grows going. A couple indoor and 1 outdoor. Im really worried that I will not have enough time before the temps really drop and kill her, she has only been flowering 3-4 weeks outside and we have already had some pretty cold nights.

 

[Texahontas]

Yo!! Thanks all. Allies for sure. Full respect to all Vets. I’ll let the other two ripen more and see how this one feels after curing. Im in SE British Columbia. 2/3 chopped

Very nice buds! I bet some excellent smoke too once cured

I have one outdoor here in SE BC. It got hit hard by the last frost and also is only in week three. I am not counting on it to make it. Glad I also tried autoflowers. They are small, in pots and I move them into a shed to protect from frost. Have two more to harvest but will wait for more amber trichomes. Good luck!! I started the autos in mid May, and they are just finishing now. Fits my grow season.

I'm seriously contemplating digging up my outdoor plant to bring inside if it gets any colder but that would likely have dire consequences as im almost positive the roots are dug in deep and not smart, hope it works out for both of us.
