Ready to chop?

Thats is a stunning specimen sir

Whats the strain??

Thanks! No idea of the strain i'm afraid mate. I was given a small plant that was kept outdoors as a gift from a friend. She reckons it's some sort of Gelato - she just planted a seed she had in some of her smoke.

I can't judge by your pictures, always easier to tell in person but if it was me I'd let it continue growing some more as I like a long lasting body and head high that give me a real heavy couch lock want to crawl in bed high. I can't see many amber trichs but you are getting closer. I have a hard time telling on mine unless I have a pocket microscope cranked up to 120x. Using a loupe I can't even focus.

You can always cut a good looking bud, look under magnification inside, dry it and give it a smoke. Harvest a bit and dry it, leave some to mature a bit more. I did that with a big autoflower and a photo plant last year. I have two large identical autos growing outside right now and am tempted to cut a few buds off each now and let the rest go for another two weeks. Kind of insurance in case it isn't really ready yet. If it isn't fully ready you can end up with a racy mind buzz that only lasts 30 minutes or so instead of a good high that last a couple of hours in my case anyways.

Good looking plant though. Looks healthy.

Oh looking real close Just depends on how you like your smoke as well. More dark trichomes, the more couch lock it is. If that was an upper bud, maybe check some lowers as well. You can always top harvest and let the others mature a bit more. Enjoy!

Nematodes for gnats. I see a lot of Clear/ milky trichs, kinda getting down to personal preference now. Personally I'd give here another week 10 days but that would be tops. I find the fast strains I've run come in between 65 and 70 days.

Cheers guys =) giving her a week then cutting her down. It's for my wife to help deal with her disease so I don't want a sleep potion lol.

I chopped her boys. Top two colas were ready so I just chopped the whole plant so I can start the autos. This should keep my wife happy for a little while!
