Hey guys, so basically my plant has excellent looking fully developed trichomes, good ratio of cloudys to ambers, but the bud doesn't look finished at all, it still has a number of white hairs and appears to be putting on the weight still. Should I chop it or should I let it stay for a while? The strain is Lowryder #2 x AK-47 (aka easyryder). It has been growing since sprout for about 6 weeks now, 7 from seed. I don't have any pictures but I will post them as soon as i get the chance, I am a little cramped for time at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recently had this same dilemma. I ended up harvesting and wish I waited another week. Check this out. https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/210501-zeuss-take-harvesting.html

Thanks for the reply :) I think I am going to wait until the bud actually looks ready, by that time I won't even have to look at the trichs anyways most likely. Any more opinions?

Hey Bro

6 weeks is a very short time - exactly how long have they been on 12/12 cycle? I've seen some people on here run White Widow over 10 weeks of 12/12. You could have another 2-3 weeks to go. I used to go by the trichs but after reading Zeus's take (I see you have the link above) there are more signs than just that. I would wait.

He's running a autoflower no need for 12/12, can't compare that to widow. But you should still have 2 weeks left on that easy ryder depending on what light schedule your on.

stop looking at your trichs and start listening to your plant.
