IMO i still see a lot of white hairs going there. Just looking at the pics there a little blurry so its kinda hard to tell. Get some better pics and we can tell a little better

Its hard to tell from just looking at it. Do you know about checking trichomes? Look through the harvesting and curing section of the forums if not. its the best way to gauge if the plant is ready to be picked. Its also a good idea to crop the plant over the course of a week. When you take the crowns, the lower branches catch a lot more light and produce more. I have gone so far as to flush for a week, pick, add nutrients for 3 days, fresh water for three days, final flush for two and pick again. It wastes chemicals but you can end up with a few extra ounces off each plant doing it this way instead of cropping the whole plant at once.

Yup, looking really good however not mature yet with that many white hairs. Are there many or any brown hairs yet? I usually start flushing when I start seeing a significant amount of brown hairs for 1-2 weeks before harvest and just watch the trichomes which is the only true indicator...

ATM i have White Rhino in a greenhouse and have been flushing for a week, they have around 80-90% brown hairs and the trichomes are mainly cloudy with a few partially amber and a small amount still clear i decided to harvest half in a few days and let the other half go for an extra week to see the difference but generally i find harvest time to be best when you have 70-95% brown hairs for indica dominant indoor strains :)

Like someone else said, do a search about checking your trichomes. Thats the only way to really tell when they are done.

I usually like atleast half my trichs to be amber before I chop. I like the feeling of havin my ass super glued to the couch though:eyesmoke:
