It's been growing more pistils, which pisses me off because it starts growing more when the other ones recede. So I think it's almost ready and then a few days later it looks like it has two more weeks.
I've been thinking "just another week or so" for the last month
Now I'm just checking the trichs, looking for 20%-30% amber trichs... And I'm also looking for calyx swelling, which is beginning.
If your problem is like mine then I'd just stop giving a fuck about the hairs or youll drive yourself fucking crazy

I'm in the same boat as you and not sure what to do. 16 wks now. The lower buds are so mature I think I should just cut. Im afraid of bud rot if I leave them much longer. They're blueberry, 80% indica.

The pics shown look like they need another 2 weeks minimum. Don't bother with the trichs until the hairs have turned brown/redish and receded. Regardless of what the breeder time is, the plants need to fully mature, pulling them at this stage is ~2 weeks early.
Some strains/phenos will keep throwing out white hairs until the end. I run a couple that do that on the main. In that case I look at the overall plant maturity and pull it at that point.

Foxtailing (as per the original poster's pics) is an abnormality so normal considerations may not apply

Some strains fox tail regardless of nothing and are a trait

even though this thread is oldeur buds are foxtailing ( like sir verde's), your buds are too close to the lights or your lights are too powerful. foxtails are new growth so don't judge your ripeness on these buds cuz your trichs will be new too. look at some buds below these and judge your decision on them.
in other words they are done and yes old buds get new growth.
PS:hope your not getting all your advice from here, double check on other sites cuz the newb to exp grower ratio is insane, it will ruin your crop if you don't.
merry xmas even if its 8 years later!...ps, why the fuck do people bring this shit back, think he's still waiting for his plant mature?

Just curious, with all this talk about the white hairs, and talk about trichomes.......no one has mentioned looking at the trichomes through a microscope. Have you done that? it's the absolute best way to tell how ready your plants are:
clear trichomes: not ready
cloudy trichomes: getting there
Some amber trichomes....can be harvested, but not as strong as when they get more amber. but not TOO amber.
More amber (can't remember percentage...maybe someone can help me out), then you're ready!
Too much amber....... past due...gone.
good luck ! You have some nice plants! I had AK47 last year, and enjoyed it!
OMG, I had no idea this was started in 2010!

The recommended time is usually off..a lot of factors come into play for a plants maturity date. Start flushing if you haven't already & like an old head grower told me back in the day..when they look done, give them another week! Also your plants are looking good, esp for your first grow!

harvest at around 30% Amber (70% milky)

Havent read all the replies but it looks like you got some foxtailing on your buds.
Its caused by heat or lights too close. It will keep growing more buds out of the top of the existing bud and thus, more white hairs.
So yes, a plant can be ready and still have white hairs, because it has foxtailed.

I had this same issue this year. My trikes said “definitely yes” and my pistils said, “not even close.”
I’m going with the experts, this is the first year I’ve used a real decent dope scope, with white and UV lights that clamps on phone, also works with naked eye. I also kind of cross indexed, that is, stem checking. It was taught to me, as your plant approaches maturity, actually at maturity, your branches will become more hollow, a pencil sized lower branch will be able to be squished with pressure, you can feel it’s hollow.
This is just my method, I use it on outside plants, it’s not a complete tell, however in this case, it helped me feel more secure that my plants were in fact ready to harvest, despite a lack of pistil darkening.
Nice grow, btw, props.
