Much longer. If you chop now it will dry down to mostly hairs.

I would wait another month those sugar leaves are going to be crispy but would go as long as I could with it now

What's the strain? How many days of flowering? And you need a microscope or jeweler's loop to see the trichomes.

I don't use a scope anymore. You can tell just by looking at the buds. The pistils will recede and the calyxes will swell.

What do you mean by go as long as I could with it now? Did I fuck up?

Your sugar leafs are going to be crispy all the way up to your buds by the time your done. Nothing wrong it’s just how it’s going to go by the time your done

I don't think you f'd it up really, but everybody kinda said it already, longer, I'd check back with update pics in a wk but also show zoomed out pic too then, gives greater context, the top of the buds look like they need cpl wks but imo under buds need longer still. Its pulling N from top fans which is normal but lots of green hairs still. Gg4 gets pretty bulky and known for decent weight.

You're close. Def want to see the trichomes though. I like to chop when they're all milky, very few amber if any. I'd def flush now if I were you if you haven't already... Unless you want a total couch lock high.

Definitely do not flush.
The plant needs all the nutrition it can get right now.
Those calyxes have to swell up. Too much leaf and pistils still.
Trichomes are only part of the equation. A small part. I wouldn’t be concerned with that yet.
Just keep them healthy another couple weeks so the bud can fill out more.

So if he looked at the trichs right now and saw 60-70% milky and 40-30% clear, you wouldn't flush? I understand wanting as much yield as possible, but trichs can turn quick.

Tried the no flush a few times. Could def tell a difference. Compared it to flushed bud. Flushed had whiter ash and tasted cleaner. I have sensitive sinuses and the non-flushed made me stuffy the next morning. Just my experience.

Flushing has no effect on trichs.
It has no effect on anything, but that's another debate.

Harvest at different times if it's your first time with this strain to see what you like.
