Should I wait 1 more week to Harvest?

https://growithjane.com/growlog/unknown-strain-fxzqt

First time grower /Super Noobie - but I have 2 mothers and 3 clones, all from my first grow. My first plant ZA I think is ready. 1 more week or do I start harvesting/drying now? Pictures are from 2 days ago



Thank you for your anticipated help & guidance. :potted_plant::crossed_fingers:t2::muscle:t2::facepunch:t3:

Looking beautiful bud and as for your question itll be hard for us to give a definite answer without close up area of trichomes. Are you able to zoom in on the bud sites and check the trichomes? If able to but unable to show pics what youll want to be looking for is milky colored trichomes with some amber color to it ( the amber amount is personal prefference) if most are clear/see thru plant still has some maturing to do. If ya dont have a way to check trichs then my next suggestion is whatever the estimated flowering time is for variety id add an extra week or 10 days just to be safe or can go the old school way and once most or all the white pistils change color shes close to harvest but be cautious as this technique is not as accurate as checking the trichs.

Thank you so very much!!! I will be able to upload pictures in an hour. They wake up soon and I’ll zoom in with the camera with & without flash.

I hope you can tell by these. The lighting is a mixture of LED & CFL bulbs in a makeshift space bucket using garbage cans.

Love the makeshift setup and using every zoom option i got on my phone it still a little hard to say but id say depending on the type of buzz your looking for you could chop anytime now. Me personally the way i like my buzz id give 1 more week but thats me. She looks pretty mature to me so if you decide to harvest now should be okay bud

sadly we cant tell based on photos from a camera. You need at least a 60x to see trichs clearly.

Need to zoom in this close to the buds, or closer.

Thank you so much. This is my first grow and I’m beyond excited. I’ll look into this right now and hopefully come up with something to share. They wake up in 11 hrs so I have time. Lol :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Thank you. I’m waiting the week but I’m also going to try and see if I can get a 60x zoom for the community to see. They wake up in 11 hrs so I have some time to figure this out. :potted_plant::sunglasses::boom::dash:
