the buds feel very solid with milky trichomes. They are female seeds lemon kush. They are at day 65 and call for an 8 week finish time.
Should I harvest?

Doesn't look quite finished to me, I would give it a week of water only and then chop it. Could be done though, use your instincts.
Still see some white hairs up high on the main cola so no, you have 7-10 days. As a famous breeder (Soma) once said, " when you think they are finished, wait another week!".........
Normally I go about 7-10 days later in flowering past what the breeder claims is the finishing point. They'd probably be good now, but why not wait til they're great? Patience, patience, patience!!!

It's hard to be patient when your this close. Keep an eye on the trichs, it doesnt look to far away.

Patience is always the hardest part, but it is necessary. I'll let it go at lest another week. I have 5 plants in a 6.5x6.5 space. I took down the top colas from my special queen #1 plant last week. The top colas weighed in at 312 grams wet. Still waiting to see what the dry weight will be.

Well, I might be odd man out here, but to me it looks done. If half of your hairs are brown and you are seeing the leaves start to yellow around the cola, that is close enough in my opinion. The bud will continue to mature for a few more day's anyway. Burn it baby. (nice looking bud)

You will lose about 50% water weight, at least.

I'm thinking more like 75%. As long as I get a pound dry between the 5 plants I'm happy.

Thanks dude. I feel like these were great results for my first grow but I plan on switching it up for the next one. I'm either going to go with Coco or a RDWC system
Wet to dry will normally lose about 80% weight. any less than that, mold could be an issue.
If you want a more heady, lighter buzz, harvest now. If you want a heavier, stronger buzz- wait the 7-10 days. The biggest mistake people usually make is harvesting too early. 10 day longer can make all the difference in potency with certain strains.

You want to harvest on time you need one of them microscopes to see the trichomes and you want to harvest when she is mostly cloudy nobody can tell you just by looking at the bud just make a guess maybe a week maybe ready no way to know unless you see the trichomes up close.

My dakini kush is just right when I chop at the very first sight of amber any longer and I think it would be too heavy for my liking, but if you like heavy indicas try it out its by Centennial Seeds.

I have a scope. That's how I know they are all milky. I found a few Amber on some colas. I harvest colas individually based on when each one ripens. I took the colas down with Amber

Here are a few colas(110 grams wet) I took down. There are still a ton left at least 250 grams worth left on the plant.

110 grams wet = 3/4 Oz good dried bud.
Nice job.
Maybe a week soon, but I chop early too sometimes.
Peace

I'm growing one too, you did a nice job with yours. Mine's also early 60 dayish. Not quite ready, Very soon though. How's yours taste for a quick dry?
I don't usually weigh, but most of the plant isn't in the picture so it might be ok. Whatever, I take what I can get.
