Looks like they almost ready but could use a few days I’m novice though they just don’t look milky they say if u want a more couch lock high to wait till they start to look an ember color ---

They are auto flowers, but have been in flower for about four weeks. Thanks for your response. Due to some surgery scheduling I have to either harvest or in the next three days or wait about three weeks. I don’t think the three week delay would hurt anything but it would be more convenient to take them down in the Next few days. ---

i suggest definitely wait a few days at least and go from there, check the trichomes after the few day wait, but in my opinion, id give it another week or more. maybe the better option of the two may be the longer time frame rather than the shorter one, a premature harvest could backfire on u on a side note, that is a very beautiful bud u have there. maybe throw in a pic of the whole plant as well ---

If they have only been in flower for 4 weeks, I would let them go another 4 at least. Is that a bud you clipped off of plant in question? Looks a little premature to me. I would let them ripen to their potential, and wait until after surgery. Hope ya have a speedy recovery. ---

it might be more than four weeks, so I’ve got several projects going on didn’t record things properly, but I think I will leave things go until after recovery. I appreciate your input. ---

Allot of glass in that picture. All that shine is immature trichomes. You will see them all turn milky, even from a distance most times w/o magnifying device. Got a current pic of entire plant you can post? ---

If I had to guess you got 3 weeks or more . I see more clear trichs than anything. If you do go a little to long cuz of surgery it will just help sedation effect aka couch lock 😉 ---

Tbh the next few weeks bro just let them sit and after surgery you should have some couch lock bud ready to be dried and cured ---

thanks for all the response. I think I’ll sit there for at least a couple weeks perhaps a month it’s a situation where either had to harvest now or wait about a month, and I think the latter will provide a much more enjoyable situation
