Ok so this plant was just from a bag seed so I have no Idea what strain it is or how long the flower time is but it looks like it's pretty close I just want to be sure.
And there are some hairs in the pics but it's just my personal not a big deal for me.

It just has finished it's 9th week going onto 10
Yeah from the pic of the whole plant it looks damn close to done, but the trichome pics are telling a different story. Maybe wait one more week then? Those last couple pics look super frosty!

Hmm well the first like 4 pics look like its gonna be fun couch time for you :P
The last two look like you could maybe wait a few more days but it really depends on how much amber you want. If you don't want any i'd harvest now and you're still going to get a decent amount of them if the first 4 pics are accurate of most of the buds. If they last two pics are more accurate for the majority of the buds and you do want amber trichs than i'd wait a couple more days but I think you're already at peak THC percentage. I'm not really seeing any clear trichs, just cloudy and amber.

Everybody has their own preference. I use it for PTSD and pain, so I like it with as little clear as possible, and about 15-20% amber. The only amber I could find was on his sugar leaves, and you can't count that

Yeah I've only seen a couple on the actual bud I'm probably going to give it another week or so

It looks like plant had a few issues during grow ... and might have played into current question.
im afraid the triches are pretty clear and not quite there yet. The shiny claw leaves tell me that there was some N tox ( which affects bud size - symptom ) . Looks like it threw nanners too.

I would pull it to cut losses.

Yeah there definitely was a bit too much Nitrogen during flower and even though the lower buds are pretty small they are like rock hard so I'm thinking I'll get close to two ounces which is ok for me that's just one if my plants I have some more that are around 2 weeks from chop and with the nanners i spotted them a couple days ago I know 100% I don't have a light leak and none of my other plants have them or are seeding so it's either from stress or just genetics but it dosnt really bother me I'll just ride it out the plant is almost done anyway

Hey guys not much going on but last night I did chop a bud off the plant and hung it to dry. I'm thinking it will be dry tomorrow. I will trim it up and see if it's ready. I know it won't have the best taste since a quick dry. I will post an update when I'm done testing and I will try to remember to take a pic of the bud trimmed up.
