SnowRyder LST; harvesting question

[Caeso]

Hello there!
I have a question relating to harvest.
on October 29th I planted a White Label Snowryder
(60 Ind/20 Sat/rest gen is Rudy).
It's been a great experience seen her grow. She has her little spot of summer warmth in my otherwise cold winter house.

She's hearthy and very green still at day 67 but with approx 40 mostly white pistil type buds with a few ambers with the calyxes mostly swollen and amber -as opposed to pistil hairs-.
She's been flowering for approx. 5 weeks and is getting fluffier in these calyxes.
So as I've said, she's at day 67 from seed and I'm wondering - as I like trippy highs-
Should I cut it now?
or my actual question:
will the buds swell up more than this or would I be degrading THC with waiting to cut?

Hard to see from the pic but looks like it still needs some time to mature. Have you checked the trichs? If you have milky trichs then cut, if most are clear then wait.

Thanks for replying
I have some trich photos but they are not very clear. I find it hard to determine whether they are clear or milky because of the light my 60/100 microscope emits.... These shots are at day 62/63 from seed.

From the looks of your first picture based-- on the white and still active looking pistulas your early still-when did the plant first show it's sex? If at 3 weeks your a week or so still for the 10 week time frame. Super phenos sex latter and finish latter.

I'm guesstimating somewhere between November 28th and 3d of December. I had size issues from the start, she's a very vigorous plant, probably a super pheno as you pointed out
She's still very much green and smells only lightly weed-ish when moved (citrus freshness).
The main bud has some sugar on her leaves, but the smaller side of the plant which has separate lighting, is mostly greenish bud. Some of the lower leafs have fallen off after yellowing but the rest only shows minor Ca def + some dark blueish coloring on the side of some leaves (Phospor defiency?). Seems to have plenty of food left, yet has 1-5 pct amber hairs.

Some more shots. Main cola and side cola.


p.s. Here's the missing picture Inhumboldt was referring to above in his post.
Deleted it, then reuploaded it.

It's amazing to see a single seed grow into healthy plant in the middle of winter.

If It took 5 weeks to sex then your in this for the long haul!!! Look at your first photo-the top or apical flower. It's still a spring chicken! They are the pistulas that turn color and dry first -based on your sex time I'm guessing 12 weeks ( from emmersion ) before considering harvest. That would be "now lets look and see" not any kind of harvest date.

Cheers and thanks, great info!
It's nice to be able to wait for a bit more, before harvesting.
