Just cut, too early?

Hybrid strain grown in RDWC, day 60 from 12/12. Been flushing for 5 days. Cut this branch to do a test of the earlier vs later harvested buds. No scope, won't be getting one in time for this harvest. Should I give them another week?

I see a few white pistils that could've receded, but it doesn't look like you cut way too early. I would dry, and cure to see how she turned out. Might be a little heady, but if you run the same strain twice you should feel more comfortable with letting her go a little longer. Otherwise, you can get a jewel loop, or microscope to determine harvest time. I would like to point out that some strains really don't do amber until it's too late (noticed this specifically with some cookie strains).

is the name of the strain a secret ?
I never regret letting a plant go another week or so

I let a crop go too long and it sucked. Buds got crumbly when dried & the taste wasn't right. Not sure how to describe it. Not rotten but kind of funky -- and not in a good way.

I believe that strain is called, 'Gummy Scissors'..lol

Might have let it go for another 5-7 days but it's not really a big issue. I personally prefer to let it go a little longer then a little shorter but that is very much a personal choice. Your idea of taking a branch first to test is a good one and will give you a much better idea especially if you plan on growing the strain again

@chemphlegm its a local strain called Klondike. Didn't expect anyone to have heard of it. Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm gonna let it go another 2 days (5 days since this branch) then chop!
