first grow how long til harvest

so im on day 45 of flowering of my first grow and i was wondering roughly how much longer i should wait til i chop down the strain im growing is white rhino now i know some of the buds aint the biggest but i didnt expect to get massive buds first grow also if you look at the first pic some of the bud looks really wierd like its died but if you look around it you can see healthy looking plant so im hoping for some advice on this and how much longer i should leave it before chop day thanks guys

Any advice guys help anyone

Go out and get yourself a 30x pocket microscope and take a close took at your trich's when they are milky/amber your good to go. I cant really tell you the ratio because that will have to do with your taste.

Any ideas on the weird looking part of the bud anyone

My first thought upon reading your post and looking at the picture was 'bud rot'. Not had any experience with it personally (thankfully), but a google image search for 'bud rot' presents pictures that look worryingly like what is in yours. What humidity levels do you have in your area? Do you have fans to move the air around?

If it is bud rot then you need to remove all of the infected areas and throw them away. It is best to remove more than you think you should as the spores can be present before the rot sets in. Be very gentle when doing it too, as the spores when disturbed will become airborne. It may also be worth considering cutting your losses and cropping the lot, in case the rot spreads and you loose the lot.

Sorry to potentially be the bearer of bad tidings - but thought it was better to post than not.

Yep had a look and I think you could be right what's the best thing to do here
