Mossy Ready to chop? OPINIONS PLEASE!

[shark]

hi guys,
my "mossy's mix" auto has been in the soil since 16th december. i had 2 of these girls. the other one was more indica and was chopped weeks ago (damn good smoke it was too!). this girl has more sativa characteristics and took a little longer.

im thinking its now ready to chop.. there seems to be some new growth, buds growing out of buds, hence the white pistils on the top bud..
can you all have a look at the pics and give your opinion on whether it should be harvested now or given a little longer?

many of its leaves have been removed as they either pale and yellow or otherwise damaged/old, so it doesnt really have much to work with!.. lots of pics! (note the lovely RED colours on the buds and small leaves).

today it is 70 days old.

Looks like you did a good job there mate. Just out of interest, how much did you harvest from the one you've chopped?

[shark]

the one i chopped (see my sig, its a contender for this months plant of the month) had a cut down weight of 73g, trimmed to 56g, completley dried to 15g.. nice smoke too!

[Tay]

it's lookin really nice man, have you got a loupe or that to check the colour of the trichs? looks nearly ready, if you havn't already started flushing, i'd get on it. maybe leave it another week? some kind of magnifying glass would be your best bet though.

edit: what kind of light are you using?

[shark]

i dont have a loupe unfortuantley. its been on 18/6 since seed. it has a busy schedule.. its under a 200w envirolite for 6 hrs a day, and a 400w hps for 12 hrs a day (hanging out with its big pals in the flowering room)..

any second opions on whether to chop tonight or not? (ive got the scissors ready!)

She looks ready to me mate but someone else may tell you different. Enjoy.

B'jesus would you look at that! :mr:

If I get one of mine even half as good I'll be chuffed. Excellent growing there mate.

lovely looking mossy mate :bigjoint: top marks :headbang:
obviously if you could acquire a loupe it'd make things a lot easier, but judging by those delightful pics of the precious girly (quite passionate as also have mossys on the go ;)) i agree with tay, give em another week or so, and give them a final flush :bigjoint:

thanks for the comments guys..

..too late! i gave it a hair cut then cut it down. trimmed wet weight of 79g. it hadnt been watered for a good few days so was pretty dry/thirsty..so im hoping for less than 75% weight loss..it should dry to at least 20g, maybe more.
