Is this plant ready for harvest?

Hi, anyone.

If you have time to look at my photos I'd appreciate it. Last 2 photos show other plants budding, they look completely different to me.

Three of my plants look very similar in terms of bud development. One is different. All 4 are different strains, no idea what strains either.

The plant at the back on the right, almost all pistils have turned orange and are infact dropping off. There is a birds eye photo showing it. I'm only at the start of week 5 of flower. Its buds are also spaced out and thin compared to the other plants. I dont assume its ready for harvest, but to me it looks sketchy and I wonder if something is wrong with it and if I should just take what I can get now.

Growing in soil, 450w led in a small tent.

Thanks. Appreciate it

No way not close

Ok so any idea why the pistols are falling off like that? It's only that one plant. And is the bud size and shape just a characteristic of the strain or have I fucked up my grow somewhere along the way?

i think the pistil retracts when it catches pollen.


.....you know you have seeds in there, right?

Yea I do. I had a male plant that had one branch develop sacks before the rest of the plant, which I missed when sexing them. It sat in the tent for 2 weeks before i saw it but it was too late. I'm hoping I'll still get some smokable bud anyway, worst case I'll use it for baking. I can't grow again right now, moving house so I'm just seeing it through.

That's not done and it's full of seeds. Good thing is that if you had a true male then you have some decent seeds for when you decide to start up again.

Unknown seed can suck but the greatest majority of us have dealt with seedy bags in the past. Watch your trichs, they probably won't produce much more as their energies have switched to seed growth and protection, but the trichs you already have should mature like they would have without the seeds. Let her ride. You know you've got seeds coming, let the rest of her get as good as she can.

Nah man, another 2-3 weeks off harvest. Pic 3 is a nice looking chunk. Those seeds should be decent quality. Live n learn my friend. You learn something with every crop.

It is not, 2-3 weeks at least. Do you have Jewelers loop?

2-3 weeks is modest. You honesty have like 3-4 weeks to go IMO. That don’t even look like they’ve started stacking yet.

Sweet thanks for all the comments. Appreciate your time. I just made a split second decision to chop them and start again. I may just have enough time before I move house, to get through a cycle.

Hopefully some of the seeds have developed enough that they're usable. I have 4 feminized OG gelato seeds so will get germinating now. I assume cleaning my tent down with bleach and staying out of that room for a couple weeks will kill off any roaming pollen? Can I reuse the soil? I paid up for that shit! Or is there likely to be pollen in it?
