HELP! Harvest ready? - Advice needed.

[wombatcombat]

Hello! i got two girls of the same strain growing; Girl scout cookies auto fem from FastBuds.
They are supposed to have 7-8 weeks of flower time (started by FastBuds themselves)
I'm looking for some input on my harvest time. I'm a first time grower and i can therefore not confidently state when they started flowering, but i first noticed them doing so around 7 weeks ago, give or take a week. The two girls grew completely different though, one is small but a dark purple, which to me looks like she is further ahead than her sister by at least a week if not more. The other is huge (compared to the purple b****) but paler green. Due to IRL circumstances I cannot do a partial harvest, or even harvest one plant before the other as i need my tent for the drying process.
I am looking for that energetic high though so i wouldn't mind harvesting on early side of the harvest window, my question is, am i there yet? and if not how long does it look like i have yet to wait. any Input appreciated

You have amber tri’s on both plants. They’re ready

To start with wombatcombat - those are great pics and fabulous looking buds.

You are definitely in the harvest window - and you've been patient - i say wait 5 more days or so......

What did you use to get such great pics of your tricombs. I want to buy one!

You should be proud after producing that on your first grow, really well done.

I wont link the actual page cause i dont know the rules about linking to other sites on here, but i just bought a cheap 20 dollar electronic microscope on amazon, if you want i can PM you the exact model, just know what to expect with it, it takes okay pictures but everything has to be held completely still, it's zoom function is a manual scroller on the side, which is a huge pain in the ass when you try to sharpen the picture as the tiny fraction you move it when you touch it ruins what you wanted to capture. That said what it does well is capture a snap shot of what you want to look at and post to friends/other growers, over all though i still think a 1 dollar loupe beats it in overall ability to check a whole plant, if you have the experience to do so.

Beautiful pics just great ones. Yes i would wait just a bit longer but boy are you gonna never go to a dispensary after you cure this up. Really nice well done. Now don't rush the dry & cure. And by golly get another grow going cause if you got friends well you may just run out LOL

At this point you won't go wrong harvesting. Now, a few days more, you will not be disappointed. Those are beautiful.
