Not to be a dick, but those are really bad pictures and no one will be able to tell looking at those.
Anywho, the way you check to see if you're ready to harvest is by looking at the resin glands with a microscope. You can buy one at HobbyLobby or Walmart for 15 bucks. But truth be told, anytime most of your resin glands turn a milky color, you can harvest.
Here are some clues that its about ready to harvest:
1. Flick the stem, it should sound hollow when its about ready for harvest. 2. Resin glands are milky in color. 3. Most pistils turn brown or orange.
If you got all of the above, shes probably ready :)

Is flickin the stem for real?
 
Me neither, just give her a little flick?..:bigjoint: Got some PK crosses coming in at 63 tomorrow, I'll definitely flick for some hollowness before she goes into the dark tonight.
 
would that be more like a thump on a watermelon sound or maybe it is closer to the sound heard when searching inside a wall for a stud?
LOL never heard this one.
 
i dont see any yellowing of fan leaves. make sure u dehydrate the soil and let her throw up that sugar. plants want to get shocked a little last 10 days of harvest. should have been flowering 45-65 days. look into introducing cold last ten days or doing a couple days of dark. also make sure u flush properly. after flush the fan leaves should yellow
 
fyi pistils changing colors doesnt mean anything unless you've run that strain before, what u want to make sure of is that the trichomes are not clear, and at least are all milky. diff people like more amber and others dont. I think that if u go long enough, you get amber and then milkys drop again, and you get a way stronger bud... if that makes sense.. a lot of people say just wait!!!
 
I started 12/12 on the same day.... I'm currently at 49 days flowering.

mine are NOT done yet... go 70 days min.
 
I did it to my northern lights plants 67 days flowering, definitely made a hollow sound, what does this mean tho :lol:.

Shocking a plant at any stage of growth is not a good idea, it slows down any growth which is the exact opposite of what you want it to be doing in the last stretch before chopping.
 
i disagree, i think if u stress the plant the right way at the right time the result is alot of trichs thrown up fast
