How much time left for harvest?

[George1961]

High everyone, hope the pics are clear enough, thanks for your help ...

Wait until more of the pistils are brown...but the best way is to get a 30-60x loupe and check the trichomes to see if they are cloudy and/or amber.

Thanks, they are clear and shiny for the moment ...

Looks like awhile to go my friend

Thanks Chris, and what means for you "awhile": days, perhaps a week? Cheers ...

At least a week or two I’d say.
Go by what the trichomes are telling you.

Thank you all, I'm in DWC and have flushed the plant two days ago and I was afraid to have it done too late, appreciate your help ...

I generally don't waste time looking through my loupe until I can see this type of coloration of brown pistils with the naked eye...

You still have 2 weeks....

At least two weeks

Be patient, those buds have lots of fattening up to do still

Nice looking bud , Blew Hiller, still a noob here, I changed the light cycle (to 12/12) 45 days ago, and this strain (Critical +) is supposed to be ready for indoor harvest 45-50 days after the beginning of the flowering stage, so excuse my ignorance: the countdown begins when you change the lights or when you see the first symptoms of flowering? (One week later in my case). Thanks for your help and patience ...

Never pay attention to those breeder claims...the plant is ready when you say so.

High everyone, you were both right, still no amber trichomes and most of them milky. The plant leaves are moving to a clearer green. in my previous grow I have kept in soil the plant in the dark and without watering for a couple of days before harvesting, is it also a good tip for DWC? In case of doing it, what would be a good percentage of amber trichomes to start with? Should I drain the pot when keeping her in the dark? Thanks for your help, still many things to learn ...

 

[George1961]

Hope this is not seen as double posting, still looking for answers. More than two weeks have passed since I flushed and still no amber trichomes at all . Fortunately still green leaves and not many yellow ones, I don't know how can this affect the plant and the harvest, as two weeks seemed to be the critical frontier for flushing and more days have passed. Is there anything I can do than just to wait? Thanks ...
