Hi everyone this is my first grow...she looks ready to harvest but want to know experts opinion on this. 59th day of 12/12 under 2 X 400W hps, in soil. I sampled a bud last week, high was ok but not as strong as I smoked WW in amsterdam, bud was not dense enough, but from last week to this week buds got fatter.
I have a 3X magnifier that does not say much, pistills are 80% red. If I go by pistills she is ready, or is she? I know it is better going with the trich colors but I dont have the equipment for that.
The seeds came from seedsexpress.nl , it says 9/10 weeks so this week would be 9th week, should I wait another week?
Experts would know by just looking at the pics. Tell me if I need to wait another week otherwise it is harvest time.
I stopped nutes 12 days and flushed 9 days ago...
Is it time to harvest????

It´s normal to harvest when 75% of the little hairs on the buds are brownish red.

Looking at the pics, I would wait another 3 days (or for)

And euhhh keer the Rv low.

I always harvest 3 days after about 80% of the pistilles are orange/red.

I prefer a more body high as a pose to head high. Thats looking very nice for your first grow.

Thanx for the compliments people.
I have 3 more WW almost ready to harvest. There is one plant that I like the most, with thick stems & large fat colas, another 2 weeks she will be ready. I am no longer living in the States (enjoyed 6 years there) Anyways I got that 50X magnifier with light, cost me $50, rip off, chinese made, possibly sold for a few dollars there
It works perfect, I saw clear, cloudy and some amber trichs, that told me it was the time. I placed her in a dark room and leave there for 2 days without water, lets see if there will be the last drop of goodness.
I really enjoy growing my own stash, I am so hooked I will do SOG next time...

here is my clones that I put 12/12 right after they rooted, cuttings from the pictured mother behaved like their mother and stayed short. The other cuttings I took from the tallest lady grew taller( leaning on more sativa side)
It is just experimental for future projects and to fill up unused space.
