Ready for harvest? First grow

Hi, I was wondering if I should harvest now or wait a few days

Hey!

I was wondering if I should harvest now or wait a few days.

Genetics: Where's my bike

Thanks!

Without a picture, who knows?

As a blind guess, "wait a few days" is rarely the wrong answer.

haha my bad, didn't attach the files

Wait a week or two until the calyxes swell and pistils recede. Great job looks like some good smoke.

Not quite there…..but not long. Give her a week, probably 2….

Thanks! I was waiting to see more amber but here in Uruguay the humidity is too high lately so I was worried about that. Also she is almost not drinking water anymore

Keep up the good work, they do drink less and less towards the end so beware of overwatering.

Update: those pics were from last week, I think the calyxes swell a bit, but I think is not there yet. What do you think?

You’re getting there……patience is key here and will be rewarded. The main thing I look for in these situations is how is the general health of the plant. In your case, the plant looks to be in good shape from what I can see. It’s normal for some of the fans to start fading out as it gets late in the grow…..but you’ll see lots of plants that have used about all the gas in the tank. In those cases, the plant isn’t going to keep progressing as it would if it was in better shape.
Your plant looks pretty green still and should be able to finish out strong. I would wanna see as few new white pistils as possible before I chopped it.
Lastly, I think there’s a decent window at about 2 weeks that exists with most strains. I prefer the early side of that window as I’ve noticed a reduction in the overall stickiness and smell of the buds if you go much longer.
I’d give her a week and see. Good luck.

Thanks man! Really appreciate it

As well as deterioration you must also look for bud rot as the buds get nice and chunky. This can depend on the humidity in your area though.
Nice looking buds

Thanks! Yeah, I was worried about that. We had a few days of rain here and the humidity went through the roof
