Would you harvest this or keep going?

[A.k.a]

Strawberry pie auto, as usual
supposed to be quick but it’s at like 13 or 14 weeks.

The pistils all changed pretty quick a while back. I’ve been waiting for them to curl up for a couple weeks now, nothing seems to have changed at all except the trichomes getting milkier.





It’s been pollinated too very early on, idk if that makes any difference.

 

[Mr_X]

yeah.

I would look at the trichomes with a jewelers loop or a handheld microscope.
Below is an example I took checking my plants last week.

i think she's done

It's done, harvest it

Trichs are only a small sector imo. Best to assess the bud structure as a whole. .I've seen plants with milky/amber trichs that have new pistil growth, no looping/receding or calyx swell until weeks after trichs show maturity.

From your pic you have awhile to go just due to the white hairs. No need to check the trichomes anyway I haven't in years. Ppl tend to harvest early using that method anyway

Callyxs have some swelling to do, id say give her another week at least

Zeroskill didn't ask a question about when to harvest.

I would pluck a seed pod and make sure the seeds are ripe.

 

[A.k.a]

Thanks guys. This has just been a weird one for me.

the seeds are all ripe, i pollinated very early on. I plucked a test bud that weighed maybe a gram and it had 26 seeds in it. It’s hard to tell now though cuz the unpollinated bud grew over the seeded stuff.

if you wanna now how many seeds you get make sure pluck every seed from every bud and just weigh it all at once see him many grams you have and multiply by 50 and will get a close count. I did and was tedious work. But got a life time and 25 generations worth of seeds to pass on. But their is around 53 seeds per gram so pluck them all. Can still smoke the bud. I did and have smoke bud when I was a teenager all the time from Mexico and was always full of seeds.

If the plant isn't ready in bloom within 9 weeks (~65 days) from flip to 12/12 I toss it. 14 WEEKS!? Chop it down! That plants costing you more money than its worth.
