Harvest? Interesting Pics

Well these are my plants, they have been flowering about 10 weeks and are bag seed strain. I'm trying to decide if they are ready to harvest. I was away on a 5 day trip and they have just recovered from a little bit of dehydration.

Plant#1:
This is my larger plant, and is starting to scare me. I am not sure, you can judge for yourself as you can see in the pictures, I think this plant may have mold. A LOT OF MOLD. So I'm crossing my fingers on this one as I was expecting the most from it, received very little and now its struggling to do just about anything. The leafs around the bud died in some areas while I was away, I'm not sure if this was because mold or lack of water or just natural cycle. The main cola on it was utterly dissapointing and seems to be the only part effected by or not effected by mold/fungi ect...









Plant#2:
This plant is my favorite and has shown a much more impressive cola size than my larger plant, while being much smaller of a plant. This one has less amber hairs, at least I think, it is hard to tell because the hairs are purpleish. This one may have mold too, which would kill me, because I love this plant. But you tell me, there are pictures. Looking at the trichs... I guess this one could use a little longer, but the fear of mold and since I'm looking for more of a cerebral high makes me want to harvest.












Questions:
How much longer or do you think it is ready?(For each Plant)
Do I have mold!???!?
How are my trichs looking?
Any comments/suggestions?

is the pot, ina pot, thats in a pot???

plant 1 is nowhere near ready, 2weeks again, plant 2 is near maybe a fiew more days to a week. my opinion, dont forget to flush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s plant 2 bud looks realy nice

u aint got mold either, not that i can see, just make sure u got good cyrcilation, ventilation and low humidity 45-55%.

Really? I assumed plant #1 was further ahead because it (from what I can see in the trich pics) has cloudy trichs and a few amber ones. And plant #2 is pretty much still clear from what I can tell. Its hard to see but plant #1 is over 50% amber hairs too.

I started flushing too early. I'm over a week in to flushing. I have been using molasses in my flushing though, should I continue this, or give it another dose of ferts and start flushing again?

Well there was this white fuzzy stuff you can see in the close up trich pics fairly well on the interior part of the plant. Its very weird. I hope its not mold, thanks.

Do you know if the dieing leafs on the bud are normal?

Thanks so much! +rep, fantastic help.

Yes, my pots just that cool.

older fan leaves yellow as u know but the bud leaf can also wither slightly!! it wont harm at all to give a 1/4 strenght feed and flush then feed then flush if u get me!!!!!!!!!! its when u give high doses of neuts and dont flush is when the bud tastes crap. just go light. il have to have another look at ur pics to look for mold ok, 2mins m8

realy hard to tell if it is mold m8, i can see slightly what ur on about but its not clear, mold looks like a white'ish fluffy sort of fungi growing deep in the bud, watch this if it is coz it can spread quick and ruin ur crop, as ive said keep humidity low, in ur case between 30-50%

a fan blowing gently on the buds can help prevent mold 2, if u have concerns keep air moving constantly until u chop if u can, im at the same stage as u and my humidity is high during the night and i am keeping a very close eye on mine, luckily no mold as i have 24/7 fans moving air, good luck.

Had to harvest my main colas early because they had mold. Lost about 1/2 of their weight. Letting the rest mature for another week. 2-3 more weeks would over-ripen my bud and give a heavily narcotic effect. That is for sure. Not looking for that.
