First and this plant has been in flowering for awhile. How much longer do you think. ![20211115_182457](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/e/b/d/ebd8505776cb202064b23cb8cd3833db89664d8d.jpeg) ![20211115_182449](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/e/1/2e1732c58b98e9e2a5b3ec63bfc9701285327c57.jpeg) ![20211115_182439](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/2/0/f20f14b7f1de83b9c9975dbc0bcdd7ce6242ecaa.jpeg) ---

Yes. Wait for the white pistils to have mostly curled in and turnd to orange/brown/red as they may, then look at trichs: ![when-to-harvest-cannabis-diagram](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/1/0/a10873ecccdfdb7f52e17ce7d8ce498b04f19ba2.jpeg) ---

Watch the video. You have a 3-4 week window where your bud will be between 92-100% of it’s max potency (weeks 7-11 with 7 weeks being about 92%, 8 weeks about 100% and losing about 2-3% every week after). ---

How do the trichomes on the buds look? You’re looking for mostly cloudy with amber just making a showing. ---
