Is it time to harvest this plant?

Jack Skellington - 9.5 weeks into flowering

I know people like to harvest at different times according to different stages of the trichomes being clear/cloudy/amber - this is my first real grow so I'm a little anxious. Hoping that anyone who has grown could take a look at the 3 pictures and say if they'd harvest now or not.

No. I am not seeing any amber trichomes. Is it an indica or sativa? Have you been Flushing?

From the looks of your trichomes you're still quite a few weeks out.

No, not all strains allow u to go by trics. You need a few deciding factors so if u throw a pic of the whole plant ill let u know

Also dont flush,only morons flush that have no understanding of the plants biology.
Here are my 3 methods.
One:bud density
Two:trics
3: hairs receding

The final flush,,,, IS A MYTH!

Bandit (with the great looking Rotty) is right.

I'll put it like this though.

#1: Trich's ambering. If it's a newer strain that does not amber - go directly to #2.

#2: Trich's all cloudy and the calyx's are swollen. This goes with #3.

#3: Pistils have receded into those swollen calyx's.

Harvest.

I don't count "days or weeks". Not accurate! Every strain I've ever run, runs a cpl weeks longer then they say... A plant is "done" when it's done. Early harvest FUCKS the quality = PERIOD!

I also harvest in stages. Mains done and ready. Then allow the lowers branching to mature and ripen. The quality is then consistent and it's been proven that those lower buds allowed to properly ripen. Are more potent then their big sisters at the top... I have patients that specifically purchase the lower or "late harvest" buds. Size don't matter to them, quality does.

All he has to do is post a pic of the full plant and ill happily tell u whats up.

Dont you ever use bud density as an indicator? Ive found once I use all those steps im dandy n tbh I dont always check the trics.
Ur bang on about the suggested time..waaaay 2 many variables to consider shes done when she tells me shes done.sometimes I dont even count days but I do give a rough estimate to mates unless its something I always grow then ive my environment down to a T know how much they can take without stunting them in any way thatd add to the flowering time and a great peace of adive for noobs is that if u think its done add anout 7-14 days.



Dog just got an abcess removed from his leg,purely ascetic but its on his ankle joint so if it got bigger itd be way harder to close up after since there so little skin there



Edit u mentioned bud density my bad

Dr, does it stress the plant in anyways? If not ill definitely try that,means I wouldnt have to spend days trimming on emd when I can trim a bit here n there

I’ve been harvesting my plants bottom to top.

The trichomes are all still pretty clear. Just going from that I am going to say you have a few more weeks to go.

I really appreciate the feedback. I grew this plant in a shoebox so it's tiny. It's a Sativa hybrid.

Leave her go another week+ mate the hairs aren't even receding and the bud densitu is poor n try n gove em some support mate it looks super messy
