Are These Ready Yet???

[UncleScotty]

I''m seem to be having trouble getting my hands on a proper microscope. (Have one on order but it may be another week before it arrives.)

In the meantime, is there anyone who can either a) give me a good opinion of the "harvestability" of the babies in the attached photos?.....or b) tell me some other reliable method(s) of knowing if they're ready to cut......not ready.......or, past ready?

P.S. I suspect that some of these buds MAY have been fertilized by accident....so don't laugh if you see seeds!
Also, this is an outdoor crop, and I know this site is devoted to "indoor", but I haven't found a more "sensible" website to consult.

Thanks for any help!

I don't see any white pistils so I'd say they are harvestable. However waiting for your microscope for a week should do no harm. Getting a good look at the trichomes is the very best determinate. I usually get fast delivery from Amazon. I received my three loupes and Celestron digital microscope from them pronto.

If you see any while hairs not curled in, you may have to wait yet. But Like starramus said, waiting for your microscope will only do you well as many times people tend to chop em down a tad too early when if they would have waited a bit longer they would have had fatter buds.

It all depends of what kind of high you want. Harvest now and it will most likely be a head high,, wait a week or more for a couch loch.
If the trichs are clear= head high,, cloudy= a mix of head and body high, = amber= couch lock. Body high.

OK, thanks guys. Still a little antsy, even though it's my third grow. Nervous about neighbours.......weather.....missing technology (the scope!)....missing the "perfect" timing, etc. Guess I should just take a toot on last years and r-e-l-aaaaaaaaaaaa-x.
