A guide of when to pick, since EVERYONE asks

Okay, so to make it easier and help everyone out about when to harvest.
The pistils are a good indication, but not always a tell. They can stay light and only darken when curing. Your trichomes (crystals) are what you need to look at. So, with the naked eye what may look milky, in fact is not. Go on Amazon. Spend 12$ and get a jewelers loupe with a 30× and 60× zoom. And a light. Look at the trichomes. Of they are clear they aren’t ready. If they’re milky white they are done and a sativa like high. If you wait till amber they’re an indica type high. So half and half is your hybrid type.

It makes a big difference what you are looking at. 5 days before harvest


19 days before chop - I like trichome pictures

Those are still pretty clear. I’d leave them longer myself.

yeah - 19 days before are too early but 5 days before harvest plus the week dry time puts them exactly where I want them
The pictures are saying you should be looking at the calyx and not sugar leaves.

Thats why I made it. And I’m tired of people saying watch your pistils to people that don’t know much. It can work looking at them. But I had a plant my first grow that the pistols stayed light the whole grow. But when I cured they darkened. And it’s a simple 12$ solution and worth it. Lol.

Definitely lol. The pistils aren’t enough to determine. Have to check those trichomes!
