I always struggle with when to harvest

I have 4 plants that are at the end of week 7 of bloom. 1 out of the 4 has more developed buds and looks to be ready. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Looks perfect for harvesting :green_heart::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes::sunglasses:
Give it 48 hrs of darkness before chopping!

You’re the best! Thank you

Can’t believe nobody said to give it another 2 weeks . That’s the normal answer. LOL

Happy harvesting!

Yeah that’s what my friend told me since they’re only at the end of week 7 and they’re supposed to go at least 9 to 10 weeks. Showed him the trich shot and he says 2 more weeks hahaha

Totally depends on your preference and patience! Some times if you have multiple plants you can harvest differently and see what does better for you. Enjoy your harvest!

You gotta balance everything out. It’s not all dependent on the trichomes.
The calyxes should swell up and the pistils should start to shrivel and pull back into them kinda.
I can’t see the pistils at all in the second pic! LOL!

When you say 7 weeks flowering do you mean 7 from the flip? or 9?
If counting from the flip I’d add at least a week and a half to those published estimates.
I probably wouldn’t take it just yet, but that’s me! I like that max THC potency over the “up, energetic” high.

Yeah she hasn’t been chopped yet. I went a little heavy on the nutrients on this one so I wanted to flush for a week so I’m gonna stick her in darkness on Wednesday and Thursday and then chop next Friday.

That 2nd pic wasnt very good. Most of the pistols compacted into the bud this plants buds developed really fast which is strange because it was vegged for half the time the others were and it’s about 2 weeks ahead of the others. Here’s are 2 better pics

One of the better online guides I’ve found is at growweedeasy. com /harvest

Can’t make it too linky since they have not allowed links on the page. But it’s a great guide.

I see no red or brown pistils at all…
