It looks pretty ready for harvest. As of right now, the earlier you chop, the headier the high will be. From here on, the longer you let it mature and "amber" the more stoney and bodily the high will be.

So make your choice and bring down the axe on it! haha

Looking good by the way. What strain?

Thank you...Ok i see what you are saying. So even if she is leaning all over she is still fine and will still absorb the flush. Honestly i am not sure of strain i got a few seeds out of a bag a buddy of mine gave me and decided to go for it. First full start to finish for me. Also how much does light degrade thc because i have no dark place at this moment and her sister is not ready at all. So if i do chop i would need to put her in the back of my room and kinda block the light off. This is her1417355819383.jpg1417355819383.jpg

What about the plant tells you its ready? And what about it is good?
The pistils are all in a receding state, getting brown as they shrivell, this indicates maturity cycle is finishing, from here on out the trichomes will begin to degrade (get amber and then brown). Some people prefer clear/milky trichomes for a headier effect, others prefer mostly amber trichomes for a more bodily effect. I explained this to him in my post so he can decide what he wants.

This is a n00b grow, and the lad has been able to achieve glistening, good looking buds.

Hence I said it's a job well done. For a first try, I'd say it's a success.

But yes, it can and shall improve as he gets more and more experience.

On with the show.

Cheers :bigjoint:

Also, from this new picture I spot a lot of white pistils I didn't see before, so I'd change my vote. Let it go on for another 2 or 3 weeks.

As for a dark place to dry, I'd just use the old cardboard box method. Stick a small fan in it if you live in a humid place, and 6/7 days later you should have pretty nicely dried herb. Then it's a matter of putting it all in jars for curing.

From the pics in the first post , I would start feeding again . Waayyyy too soon . You still have at least 4 to 5 weeks to go . Cheating yourself and plants potential. Patience will pay off big time.
