Is my plant ready for harvest? Please help

[Wickedk]

It's my first grow an I've done absolutely everything right and it's the beginning of week ten, I thought I was already ready to harvest with cloudy trichomes and orange pistils. Then just the other night I had an new growth of white pistils,.? Plus it does t seem to be at maximum yield yet. Can someone please help me?

I would strongly suggest that you look into this usb microscope been using it for years and at around $30.00 it takes out all the guess work ..Plugable USB 2. USB Microscope | Plugable

Yes, thank you I have a good jewelers loupe, they're cloudy an I've seen maybe a few amber trichomes, however it just doesn't seem to be very filled out, (the buds), and there's recently been new white pistils emerging and it threw me off as to whether or not she is ready to harvest..

If you have amber trichomes you are in the ballpark ..

Dealer's choice on when to chop it.
It looks to me like it could go a little longer. Have you tried a tester off it?
You can always do a partial harvest, taking the most mature buds while leaving those that aren't quite there yet.

I had a good friend tell me once, when you think it's ready give it a week and then chop it down.

I had a good fiend tell me once, when you think it's ready give it a week and then chop it down.

I love a good fiend.

If you have not ready begun studying up on harvest and curing. Begin now. Well done my friend! Great first grow!

The fun is soon to be over with and the work begins. I would take Weeds advice and start reading everything and anything about harvesting and curing. That is much to nice of a grow to screw it up at this stage of the game.
Great 1st grow my friend

I just got done suggesting this exact device to another person. They're bloody reliable scopes for sure!

Harvest is not a universal standard. It comes down to what you want. I personally grow mostly Indica dominant hybrids. I'll cut at Milky because I don't really care for couchlock. I will grow some pure indicas I have to the point where they are mostly amber for the pure reason of having some "before bed" bud. I hope this was helpful

Welcome! Harvest time is such fun.
