Is my plant ready? - New Growers - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hi growers, I'm growing RQS Gorilla Auto. I have entered the tenth week (which ends on October 27th) which should be the last according to what RQS declares.
I post here the pictures of some flowers, in your opinion how long is the harvest missing? The trichomes are almost all white or transparent (I really can't tell if one or the other), amber there are very few. On the lower flowers not even one, the apical one has some.
Sorry for my english if I wrote something wrong

Yes, I can wait another 4-5 days. The weather will be fine until Sunday, then I could give it 48 hours of total darkness. They say it stimulates the production of resin, is that true?

she is ready for the chop, imho....

do it early morning, before the sun comes up

I'd let the pistils start to turn orange.

Where are you? the scenery suggests the season is over. Everywhere is different but 23rd October (today) is a farming calendar milestone here. Ground frost can now be expected. This can destroy tissue and let the mould get a hold. Long before this many of our plants are dormant looking. Spending the day repairing the damage of cold nights. They do look healthy and things usually take longer than it says in the packets. I think when the native plants have died back there is little point carrying on. My own personal thoughts are that cold plants pull up phosphates they can't do anything with. Flavours leave and that bonemeal flavour becomes apparent, leading to a hard black ash. Our plants want good weather to perform. Better than the natives.

Id also go a few more days. Shes close.

Leave it a few more days if the weather allows, but it looks ready enough to chop if necessary.
I wouldn't bother about the 48 hours dark thing, enclosing the plant in that way could easily lead to problems like mold / rot. Not something i have ever bothered with or been convinced by.

I was advised to look at the heads thru a loupe to see if most of the trichomes are orange yet.

(Loupe = 10X magnifying glass) If you've never done this, it's a blow out! Another dimension!
