I have no earthly idea if this one is ready. Help!

I have a jewelers loupe and a digital microscope BUT I still don’t have a strong opinion if my first ever plant is ready to harvest. Help!

Monday will be the 10th week after emergence of this auto.

I think I see a few amber trichomes but man it is hard to say if it’s not just the lighting.

Would love to hear your opinions and if I should still wait. I don’t want to screw this up!

Thanks for taking the time here are some photos.

I think it’s a little early to check trichs. Based solely on the amount of white pistils I see. I think you’re still in for some nice bud fattening as well. Looking great!

From what I see another 2-3 weeks.

What are you all keying on? What’s the best indicator? Pistil color? Trichomes? Mass of the colas? Phases of the moon?? :joy:

I look for the pistils to turn brown then watch the trichomes to go cloudy and with some amber.

Too many white pistils still. Wait for nearly all of them to turn brown and recede back into the calyx’s. Then start checking trichomes. Looks to me maybe 2-3 weeks.

Hi u need to let ur pics upload first before u hit the reply button

Looking nice. I’d say 2 or 3 weeks also. Usually the pistils all change colors to bro we n orange colors and recede back into the calyx a bit. If it is 10 weeks from soil break u def have a couple few weeks left but for the first grow u did great as they look fantastic
