i'll be locked on how your yield turns out, in the next 2 weeks you should really pack the bud weight on
and it wasn't luck, you chose one of the better strains for a 1st grow

i'm doing a micro grow with cfl's. real micro with 78w of 2700k in a 16 x 38 inch tube
not sure how mine will end, but i've started small and stealthy. if i don't get a much as i'd like, next time i'll take it up a notch

You should wait till she's at least 8 weeks into flowering. She won't go "bad" if you let her go an extra week or two. If you cut her too early you're going to be pissed. That strain needs every bit of 8 weeks of flowering. Harvesting by trich color is not the only criteria you should follow. Look at pistil color, majority of them should be other than white, trichs should be cloudy/amber and your leaves will turn yellow and get a touch crispy. You've cared and worked this girl for some time, why not wait just a little longer and make sure she's reached her full potential. The buds will swell, almost double in size and get really dense in the next couple of weeks. Theres a huge difference in the 2-3 weeks you have left.
Good luck! All the best and happy growing!

looks like your light is making your trichs look amber ..so it's sort of hard to tell ...but my guess would be wait at least 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks minimum..take your plant into natural light..take a look and see what color your trichs are..more amber means more mature or ripe...you've waited this long ..why not let her finish up as much as possible...my .02..peace

How can you tell the color of his trichs through a picture? A picture that is not magnified at that! SMH...you need a microscope to properly see trich color.

it would be hard to argue against results like these, things just look plain sweet
as for the yellowing, i'm going to have to get more harvests under my belt before advising on this
i will say, nothing out of the usual from other RIU harvests i've seen
