I think to much emphasis is put on trics. When I was young I grew some of the best all leaf no bud no trics. plants. I don't even know if they were female. Many experienced smokers got wasted on my leaf shake. :bigjoint:
They do look a little young ..... but do what you gotta do. Those are some really nice buds!!!!!

my dad said he's getting stone of the smell of my plants,so i want to harvest.
The only thing is there trichs are cleat r to a heavy milky color.:wall:

First of all you have a beautiful buds right there ! what kind of strain ?

I still see the white hairs standing out....i rather wait for few weeks till pistills recede into calyxes and the calyxes will swollen, you can check the trichs from there..but thats me...you can always check trichs daily...if you want soar high , then 100% cloudy on trichs, chop it down :D

have a good bountiful soon, buddy.

happy harvesting.

i usually wait until there are about zero fresh flower petals - the long white hairs - when they are all going amber then i get out the magnifier to watch the ratio of trychomes to go from clear to mostly amber within a few days.

when the white flower parts wilt then i know that there won't be any more massive growth and that the ripening is under way.

they are not ready for a while. Wait until you start to see the white hairs all change to red/brownish then pick them. Also they can get way bigger during this stage so dont just pick it.

I think if you wait two more weeks you will be happy. They look nice and healthy, great grow! If you want the maximum from your plants go for roughly as much milky trichs as you can, clear trichs are not fully developed, and amber is over developed and is the sign of THC degrading. Man those are some nice buds.
