I think harvest time is getting close, what say the experienced growers?

[Markyb]

Hi! This is my first grow. In veg everything was all good but flowering phase has been a kind of a struggle.
Despite my mistakes she has pulled through so far. I think harvest time is pretty close but I don't know how close.

I have been feeding her pretty well, but she is getting more and more yellow and I don't know how long I can push her going.
I still see few white pistil but I think most have turned orange.

And bout the trichomes, I can't make much sense how the ratio is. I'm unable to focus properly with the loupe, at one point I might see most trichomes milky and after checking out again after hour on the same spot I see them mostly clear.
I tried to take few pics but they are blurry as hell, hopefully you guys can evaluate them better. Also the first pic looks really weird, I think my phone is doing some weird processing on the pics.

Don't drown in the tech... ...take a mid bud...slow dry overnight and Test it........


If it feels Good for you....harvest....if not hang on another week and repeat...

Good Luck....

Changes in how trics look at different times is Probably how the lighting is when you take the shot...........

I see very little amber in your tric shots... personal opinion..she could go longer..but a test bud is the best way to check what is Right for your tastes....

I think she could go a week or two more like mossy said very little amber showing. Always a good rule when new if you think they are ready give them least another week. What you might being seeing when you say the different color from cloudy to clear in the same spot it's the reflection of the trichrome stem through the head if that makes sense.

Getting good shots free handed is ver hard you need very steady hands. A digital wireless microscope and microphone stand make this a lot easier

Thanks again for all the advice! I appreciate!

I also noticed that all the upper leaves at the top buds are getting really dry (like a paper) and clawing up. What could be causing this?
It has happened at all apical buds overnight. Other leaves are not like this and they feel normal.

I don't think it could be temps because temp stays between 24-25C (75-77F). RH is stable 50% all the time.

How often are you watering and with how much (and how big is the pot size?)

And how close to the top of the plant is the light?

Hi! I water her when the pot feel very light to lift, in practice it happens every other day. The pot size is 10L (2.6Gal)
I water 3 liters (0.8Gal) at the time and I get around 15% runoff every time.
The light is about 50cm (20") above the main cola. The other bud sites are much farther away from the light, and this same has happened on all of them.
