newb here! ready for harvest?

hey guys im new here and just am finishing up with a grow. research research research trust me I have lol but still not quite got the eye to see what is finished and not. as for flushing I have flushed it 2 times now in the last week of watering. today was my most recent flush(round 2) and I am seeing a lot of orange hairs.. id say top buds are around 50-60% orange hairs. pistils hairs have mostly all receeded into the pistil and I have a few pics of them up close with my 8X zoom on my new lg g10 phone which I will brag is amazing at taking good pics haha.

Those are good pics, but what will determine if the crop is ready for harvest is the triches. You need to use a magnifying glass and look at these very closely to see were the plant is at, you dont want want to cut when they are mostly clear, you want to cut when the triches are cloudy/milky with just a little bit of amber. That is what you are aiming for.
Good luck.

Looks good! I'd give it up to a week or two longer but harvesting now would still be good. Get in close and look at the trichomes. I suggest a cheap $10 jewelers loupe from amazon with at least 40x. Look for milky and a little amber.

Good idea is shine a white light on them and see if they parkle. The milky trichs don't refract light like the clear ones. Sparkly buds need more time.

Never noticed that but I'll have to check that out!
