Close To Harvest?

So, I live in Colorado and this is my first time growing weed outdoors. It's in it's own planter and has been pretty rich in N for the flowering cycle and has been going through the flushing process for the past 10 days. It's on day 54 of flowering. And thus here is the picture - I have no experience in when to harvest and there is simply too much info online.

Additionally, under a microscope, most of the tips are murky, some turning amber and few clear. Thoughts?IMG_1795.JPG IMG_1798.JPG

Looking good buddy Im no expert but i would say that could go a while longer. A good way to tell is when the fan leaves are dying off, and those still look pretty green to me.

But as i say i am no expert and it is totally down to you at the end of the day, also i know some people like to harvest when the trhics are milky/clear some people like amber/milky as i say its totally up to you.
Peace

At this point you may think your ready, because it will have changed so much in the last few weeks. But there is still more to come. She will swell and the hairs will recede, then you can start looking at trichs. Plenty of packing on weight yet.

So should I continue to flush or is it too far out that she needs nutrients? How long do you think I have to go I guess would be the question?

Thanks!

Well I don't believe in flushing unless I'm trying to leach my nutrients from my medium to reuse it. But if I did believe in it, I would continue feeding her at this point.
Hard to say how long is left because some strains can suddenly swell real quick and others may take more time, but guessing it could go another two weeks, if you flush that long she's going to be missing lots of nutrients, she's already showing signs of deficiencies. :bigjoint:

I would give her nutes, no need to flush unless you've got nute burn, it wipes the medium. give her a couple weeks with the nutes and then if you want to flush do it in the final days.
Thats all i got, shes looking beautiful otherwie :)

Nutes are back in and I'll keep you posted with some pics - I have no idea what the swelling process looks but since she's female, I'd imagine just another bloated chic :)

7 Day Update -

So attached are a few images. The close up is what she's looking like at the moment which includes a close up of the bud and the whole plant. The second is another plant I'm growing that is getting close...I think. Thoughts? How's she doing? Another week for the first and a couple more weeks for the second?

Man that's a pretty small plant for four weeks. I think that it will probably survive, but if it's going to be worth it? I don't know. Might be a light issue.
 
the buds are ready when it looks like you could pick one off and load it in a bowl (not recommended)
I think that sounds like great advice - any chance you have a picture of one you've done that was ready? I'm a visual guy and while I know what weed looks like to be packed in a bowl, there's a few other influences I'm not quite sure about. Thanks!
