Based on the trichomes, ready for harvest?

[Alazzzar]

I’m in week 6 of flowering.
I’m a bit back on the schedule for flowering, but I’m somewhere between week 5-7.

Anyways my question for the day is:

Based on the trichomes on my plant.
Is it ready for harvest or can I give it another 1-2 more weeks? I want to flush it using Flawless Finish from AD, but I’m afraid delaying on harvesting is only going to stunt my plant rather than benefiting it.

btw..Anyone here with experience using Flawless Finish from AD?

Sorry for the weak lighting on photos.
Happy Grow!

Looks delicious, assuming you can take it longer, wait for the experts to respond

Your plant needs another 3ish weeks before you should be thinking about whether it’s ready or not. Still lots of clear trichomes.

No nutrients you add at this point are going to make a drastic positive impact on that plant. I would suggest reducing your current feed levels and just letting the plant finish maturing.

Based on trichomes no. Not ready. Every single time I zoomed in I found a ratio of 20 - 1 for clear to cloudy trichomes.

I zoomed in a good 10 times in different spots.

Okey, got it.
Soo I should just feed the plant much less, perhaps nothing?

Personally I feed something to the end to prevent the plant from fully trying to cannabilize it self. You’ve got a few weeks still so I wouldn’t want to starve it that long. It’s up to you though, some people will water with plain water for weeks at the end.

2 at least... Skipping the trich's...
They calyx's have not swelled and the pistil's have not receded into them. Not to mention they (pistil's) haven't even begun to change to dry and orange - red - brown.

3 more weeks, harvest at 10 weeks and you'll have HUGE nugs

I sincerely think the best advice someone can give you for this answer is get timelines out of your head. Giving you a estimate of how much longer would only do one of 2 things.

1 disappoint you when the time is up and you still have more time to go.

2 have you over shoot your goal.

I get that this is your 1st grow. But you need to be looking for the proper signs of ripeness.

Pistils not only browned but receding into the buds, swollen calyxs, and trichomes being more cloudy to amber than clear.

The plant tells us when its ready.
