Is it ready to harvest yet?

Aphids? Where?
After I discover aphids, I check the plant 3 times a day and also spray with high-pressure water, but they still come back, but under control, the worst part is they leave the shell and stick in the buds, it's so hard to wash away. I cut one bug and try with baking powder and lemon juice, or H2o2, not working well, they are still there and will have some hiding inside the bugs too...

Ain't no way I'd be smoking that after seeing those aphids...I once moved a mite infested AC unit and over 10,000 mites crawled onto my arms. This just gave me flashbacks. Eeeeeeeeeee

Trichomes will tell you everything you need when it comes to harvest. Get a high powered magnifier and when you see 10% Amber trichomes it's ready. I like harvesting at first signs of amber on sugar leaves before it gets to the buds.

Ready to harvest - cut it --- Genrally a marjuana plant is ready to harvest at week 8 -10 at the most ( some 100% sativa;s tael 15 weeks +) if no loupe harvest when the plants psitals have turned 80% amber - Now the longer you waite the thc amounts will decrease But higher CBD levels. (when the trichomes turn "amber" the plant is starting to decay)

Trichomes are not as accurate as many think. Many things can cause trichomes to amber other than the plant being ready and some plants the trichomes never amber. And the OP has sprayed numerous things on their plant which can cause the trichomes to amber.

Wrong. You want all of the pistils to have turned.

This chart is pure garbage. And one of the reasons people harvest their weed early.

You really do not want to check trichomes on leaves. Basically you do not need to check trichomes at all. You want receeded pistils and swollen calyxes does not matter how much amber you see or not. As been said, pistils going to “dissapear” as calyx ripes unless got pollinated. If so pistils will dry and stay sticking out of calyx like my dick in the morning or eventually drop off being pushed out by forming seed. Good luck dude with your harvest!
