Help with harvesting..... pics

Can I ask for your opinion, I’m 9 weeks into flowering Maui. Guide says 10 weeks. But these girls look ready to me. Should I harvest them now? Or give them a week?

Thank you in Advance

My first time posting, I hope I can post these pics.

Welcome to forum :slightly_smiling_face:
They look close.
Are you able to look at trichomes under magnification. :thinking:
I reckon you want an 80/20 split ,milky and clear, I like about ten percent amber.

It is the trichomes on your calyx on buds you want to go by.
When the calyxs are swollen and trichomes are 80% milky white 20% clear then you are ready to harvest .
I like some amber in mine,need to get a jewelers loupe or magnifier so you can observe trichomes on the calyxs .
I reckon give it a week more,gives you time to get your magnifier.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the welcome Flitme.
Thanks for the recombination Bunger 64.I received the magnifier today.
I’ll post new pics below. The first pic to me looks like it’s ready, not sure about the other 3 plants.
Let me know if you think I should give them another week or get them out now.

Thanks again everyone.

Pretty close. Depends how you like your high.
Maui wowie is one of my favs. I usually take a cut off a bud, quick dry in the nuke and smoke. If too racy, give it a few days. If good, chop. It will get better as dry and cure.
