I have been looking through alot of posts and have not found what I'm looking for. I have a plant the is going into it 7th week of flowering and I was planning on flushing at week 8 and hanging on week 9, but the hairs on my bud are turning brown, (not a lot but quite a few) so as clarification, when is the best time to harvest her?
You can harvest at 85% cloudy trichomes, 15% amber. Get a 30x loupe/magnifier and check out the trichomes. Looks sativa dom, so it has a good 3-4 weeks left
From your Photos I would say you are a long way (weeks) from harvest. Personally I never bought into the Tricome Cloudly/Amber theory, for me it's always about Hairs(flowers) - when the plant has MORE wilted flowers (brown hairs) than new (white/magenta) flowers your closing in on time to cut. Of course this can all be affected by nutrient load. So you are definitely at flushing stage and just run with it till things look good. Pay attention for botritus (mold) in your buds. that will be a more determining factor than anything else.
