Greetings to all,
I am a 1st time grower. I have am growing a berry kush dispensary clone indoors w/ soil. It has been a good process. She is now 3 months old (about 95 days). I did let her grow wildstyle so she is a big girl now.

Please take a moment & look at the pics as I need advice about when to harvest. I have an ecoplus 60x-100x pocket microscope (not the easiest tool to handle by the way) that shows the tri chomes as white. Some of the hairs on the flowers have started to turn a brown reddish color.

Should I wait or start the harvest? Peep the pics n lemme know what you think.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

IMO, Wait.
Those caps look mostly clear from here.
Might have several weeks to go.
What is your light source?
and how far away?

Aloha,

i have 2 500 watt bulbs that I had been in use for photography, they are positioned 5-6 ft away.

I'm thinking 2 or 3 wks?

looks good, so far ... ignore the color of the pistils (hairs), judge her only by the color of the trichomes .. pistils change color, for a number of reasons, maturity being the least accurate ... I harvest, when I see about 10% amber trichomes, but that's just my preference, everybody has different tastes ... happy gardening :thumbsup:

Just noticed your pics, I had a similar looking plant to yours a few weeks ago and was thinking of harvesting around now as trichomes seem to be mainly cloudy now with a few amber. How was your harvest? Tried any yet?

no, I actually waited & i'm glad I did. My girl looks great! I'll post new pics later this weekend. I figure @ the moment I'm about a week away from harvest.
