Should I harvest or wait

Hey this is my very first grow/harvest. Just want some opinions from some more experienced growers! I started seeing white pistils around last week of July which would put me at 9-10 weeks of flower I believe. Just wanted to see if my girl was ready or if like one more week would be best

Several weeks to go yet. Begin looking at trichomes when all of the pistils have browned and then harvest at your preferred trichome maturity.

It is helpful to get a cheap USB microscope which gives greater magnification. I’ll post an example pic below.

Wait until you get more amber color in the trichomes. Give it a week or two. Let the buds thicken and sweeten. You won’t be sorry, unless you get ripped off. I’ve just recently gotten back into growing, strictly indoors. In the past, every nice monster plant I had outside got found. Only harvest I ever got outdoors was the early girls. Never a prize winner, thieves or cops always. But the times are changing, my state is even starting on the road to cannabis free market. It’s medically legal here now, I hope I see it become recreational here :grin:. Good times! Keep on growing

Them white pistils will turn an orange color and start to curl in. Then you can start looking at the trichomes like the others mentioned above. Then it’s preference when to chop. I like 5% amber on my plants with mostly cloudy trichs :beers::call_me_hand:

to me, it definitely seems like your looking at the trichomes on the sugar leaves rather than the bud itself.
the trichomes on sugar leaves could look different than the trichomes on the actual bud, always make sure to check the buds trichomes and avoid sugar leaves or you could end up with a different harvest than u thought u were getting. :+1::smiling_face:

great feeling to be chopping soon especially for the first time, awesome job
