They don't look ready to me but there's only one certain way to tell. Read this:
GROWFAQ
Read everything in "How to grow marijuana" in the GrowFaq.

P.S. They look real healthy.

first off what strain is that??? and secondly how long have they been growing?? and also how tall are they?? they do look healthy and the trichromes are all over but you will need a microscope to get a good look.

can possibly give good advice with that much needed info

Yeah, if you look really close, the trichromes are the iradescent little things that come off the leaves near the branch, they are all over the calyxes (which are the buds, the little guy ^ up there in the roll it up logo is a calyx)

They should be ready if you live in michigan, but since the weather is good harvest in a week or two, before any big storm, or if the temps drop below freezing, they look good, I'm gonna také a closer look. And i should know more.

The white hairs that come out of the middle of the calyx should all be ambering by now, and the trichromes should be getting cloudy white, instead of transparent/clear, that means it's ready.

tallest one is about 3ft tall . they have been growing since about mayl. flowering about 8-9 weeks.Strain questionable since i didnt read about strains until after i was growing. i would like to know though.Just picked the seeds out of some good bud I got. Thanks

The trichromes are on the bud in the inside, the frosty looking stuff.

The little whit spots on the leaves are probably bug bites. Nothing to worry about they look good, you should harvest before the next storm in my opinion, a lot of it looks ready, there won't be that much more growth.

If you have a week, take it, but watch for any big storms, the winds and rain will knock off some trichromes, and the rain isn't good right before harvest.

Watch out for ambushing wolverines

Happy toking bongsmilie

thanks howard. i added you if you dont mind. I lready had to cover from frost once. so if i harvest tomorrow , Ill have some decent bud? what if i watered the soil today? Also the other day I watered with the hose over the tops does that make it less potent also?

Everything should be set, I was about to say it looked like there was already a frost, some of the calyxes are purple as a result, that's a good selling point for some smokers (there's no real reason other than color) there isn't any special quality of purple weed.

They can be harvested any time, they look ready to me, the best time is dawn, before the roots start sucking up moisture from the ground and begin photosynthesis. Easier drying and better cure.

Look into the FAQ for drying questions. Basically cut off all the big leaves and hang with plenty of circulating air/fans.

It does have a bit of new growth coming out of finished buds. The finished part looks more to me on a few plants, what did you feed them?

I didn't get your contact request, and you can't pm until you have 50 posts.

You have a boyfriend/husband to help you with the trimming?

You'll never know, it seems like a indica/sativa hybrid, sativa dominant.

Depending on how it tastes, I could probably tell you was strain it's close to. ;)

But with bagseed you can't know the real name, just the same taste, if it was good weed, then it'll taste the same as the bag you smoked. :mrgreen: bongsmilie
