Should I harvest or keep growing

I'm like 7-15 weeks into flowering. Completely lost track lol (memory isn't what it used to be and I misplaced my journal...)

80%+ hairs are red, and recoiling into the buds.

Almost all Crystals look cloudy. May be a few that look clear but I'm not certain..

I wanted to wait till I see the first amber crystals before I harvest it, but im concerned the "burning" is moving into the the buds.

Is it still too early to harvest?
Or should I wait a couple more weeks?

Obviously your flowering time will be strain dependent i.e. Sativas having longer flowering periods then indica's but in my personal opinion. I would begin my flush and harvest in about 14 days. Have you checked you trichomes with loupe? If your to late into flower your THC will be converting in CBN. Hope this bit of advise helps you buddy. Just remember. If in doubt, flush it out. Harvest when you can and start a fresh run where you are more prepared

Yea you should flush and harvest in a week or two. I like them with 50/50 amber. But its really how you prefer your end product. Good luck

I'd be flushing now and pull it 7 to 14 days unless you really need to befor then ..what strain you growing

Agreed on the 2 weeks. Maybe 10 days if it is fast flowering but I like to taper the concentration of nutes down steadily as she ripens.

Takes practice but when it is right yield, canabanoid content and terpenes will go up.

Yours is over fertilized some so I would leach with some fresh water and then put back a milder mix of balanced complete nutes.

IMO

It's over fertilized because I used hot soil :)

I was expecting to harvest August 1st when I planted it back in March or April, so I guess I'm on schedule.
Im looking for the best possible high, but with a bit more sedative properties.

It was bag seed. I like the product it came from, though the buds were heavily fertilized and loaded with seeds.
So I don't know the name.

The plant has very very little smell. I only notice it when I first open the grow box in the morning.
When I crush a sugar leaf it smells very diesel fumey.

I'm concerned because some of the calyx tips are turning black.

I googled but couldn't find anything about that happening, except for mold issues and I am pretty sure I don't have mold
