Not sure how long it will take but in what little experience I have maturation can happen pretty quickly. One day they look like that. And a week later 90% of those hairs have color and the flower is ripe. I occasionally get one that finishes under 60 days. And you could harvest now and still have good smoke. But waiting another week or so makes sooo much of a difference. Like I said when it happens it goes pretty quick. Best of luck Great looking flower

If mine, I would think another 2 weeks but as mentioned it can happen quickly. I do not keep track of time for the purpose of determining when to chop. I go solely by the white hairs, once 90% or more are brown and recede back into the bud, I then break out the scope and start looking at the trichs. I shoot for 15% amber and then chop.

This ^^^^^ id guess at least 3 weeks minimum.. depends on how you like your trichomes. Head, body, or both.. be careful and dont harvest prematurely or youll smoke a bowl and feel like youve been launched from a state patrol vehicle at mach 9 and theyre taking bets on who can catch ya first…

Here is what I was taught and keep telling people when it comes to harvest when them white hairs almost all turn orangeish reddish and curled into the bud then it’s time to start checking trichomes for milky/amber colors. The normal census is between 20-35% amber depending on desired effect. Will need a zooming handheld microscope or a strong magnifying glass or a very good camera to see the Trichomes. I sincerely hope this helps and gives a good understanding.

Switch to 10 on 14 off Since Sativa’s take longer This will tighten up your buds and finish quicker on your last 2 weeks!
