If you have some cloudy trichomes to me it's ripe. But I don't like couch lock. Ripeness is a bad word to use, think maturity instead. Ripeness is for fruit has to do with starch converting to sugars and fruit acids developing and all that.
I am pretty sure it's not mold making your leaves yellow because it started in the older leaves and your flower parts look fantastic. Leave those leaves alone unless they are easily pulled off.
If you have a vaporier, I feel fresh bud is even better in a vapo than dried.

You know harvesting is not an all or nothing deal. Harvest half if you want and let the rest mature further. Sometimes it's great even without the cure. I suspect most harshness is actually related to burning and smoke temp. Getting the moisture back from the stems must be a big part of it.
Check your bag of Lime, if it has a rough 2:1 ratio of calcium to Magnesium your good.
For example I have a bag of Mayville Garden and Lawn Lime, 22%ca 12%mg.

thanks for the tip maryjohn, i have a vape and never have tried it on fresh buds before!
If you crush it up into a powder, you can sorta do this, but it's probably easier to just apply the powder to the surface of the soil and wash it in.
Nope. Won't work that way. Dolomite must be thoroughly mixed into the soil and be wet to work.
Why don't people follow the directions?
If there was another way, I would have posted it.

Hey burn, it can work in a large garden situation as you can apply with a mechanical spreader or just broadcast by hand. Then you do your addition of organic material int the fall with straw mulch on top. Of course I am building the soil up so by the next year it's not a top dressing.
Potted plants not so much.

Right maryjohn-
I just put ten bags of pelletized dolomite lime on my lawn. But first, I did a two inch core aeration on it. I have to do that every spring and summer. It takes months for the dolomite to become effective. I know because I have a soil sample taken and sent to my state agriculture center to be analyzed. Even with adding so much dolomite, I had to put down ten bags of gypsum too because there was not enough calcium in the soil.
So outside in a large garden situation, I would take a soil sample and have it analyzed twice a year. It's free in most states.

Ugh, that gypsum is a mixed blessing. Come to think of it so is a lawn. I'm glad I don't have one right now. I'd probably just let it go if I did. Pain in the rear and riding mower is only fun for the first beer.
I've taken it before in a Chinese medicine formula. I felt like my belly was a soil container.
