Hey folks! First grow here and I’m thinking I have to be pretty close to harvesting. I’m worried to harvest to soon or too late. Any thoughts? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/c/a/dca6284e849df99258f62c33a0be8e76c207467c.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/4/1/641e641ccec80c24624682fe1c485064c4c7e807.jpeg) ---

Jewell’s loop, you can get a cheap one of Amazon as long as it works, those white hairs you see is still spawning, once your buds start to fully ripen, those oistils start turning brownish, reddish, and they start curling, but if they straight, long and white like yours, she still putting in bud weight and ill just keep her consistent on cruise control until you start seeing much more, orange, reddish, brown pistils that’s at least 3 - 4 nodes down under the main bud cola, and check the trichomes on the 3 bud down, not the very top one, of course the top one will show some anger from the light, but when you get a good cover of amber 3, 4 nugs down from the top, yes that’s that real dank. ---

I mean the time I see from experts here is around 1 1/2 or 2 months in flower you can just dial it in for your preference- energetic couch lock or 50-50- from 1 month into flower you can start looking for what you like, max ripeness and size the longer you wait if longer than 2 months it would probably starts degrading the product ---

I appreciate the feedback. As a first time grower, I can’t help but feel nervous. I’m already planning my second grow and I am sure it will go much smoother.
