Nice going outside!! 1. Buy a 100x magnifier that hooks up to your phone. Then you’re not guessing. If I were to guess, I’d say a week for the first one and 10 days for the other. 2. Harvest at 20-30% Amber trichomes. Harvest what’s mature and let other colas get to that 20-30% amber. Do big plants over time. 4. Personally I don’t flush, I run 50% reduced ppm nutes the last week. Best of luck in your grow.

She's tracking well. I'd give her another 10 days till the bottom leaves have dropped off and the top leaves are as yellow as the bottom ones are now. Hope it helps.

still has time. ignore the advertised flower time.. even when if the estimate has integrity (as opposed to just lying to sell more), it's not exact. it can help choose what to buy, but once that see is in the ground, forget it. observe and react... nothing else matters except what the plant shows you. In this case i see unripened calyxes. You don't even have to scope the trichomes, yet.

The best way to determine the right harvest time is by checking the trichomes on your buds. Here’s a simple guide Clear trichomes too early, the plant is still developing potency. Milky/cloudy trichomes peak THC, strong energetic high. Amber trichomes THC is degrading into CBN, giving more of a relaxing, body effect. Most growers harvest when around 70% of the trichomes are milky and 20–30% are amber, depending on the effect you prefer. If you want more of a head high, harvest earlier (mostly milky). For a heavier, couch-lock effect, wait until you see more amber. 🤗

You're above the breeder's specifications, which is already good. However, your lady doesn't look ready for harvest yet IMO. The strain can look very crispy under LED lighting, but outdoors it's always, outdoors, your environmental values are very important.. You can still see white hairs, but not too many. I would give them another 1-2 weeks, hopefully with warm and dry weather. Otherwise, check the little powerhouses on the buds; the trichomes will ALWAYS tell you when your plant has had enough of maturing.

This has still a bit to go unless as he mentioned get a loupe and check for milky trichromes, but i think they can fatten up a bit more ;)

bro i see still a lot of white hairs. i personally follow this rule : wait for hairs to 50-70% brown then star flush then after 2 week average i harvest. obv check trichomes with minimum 10-20x glass or phone
