I’m getting close to harvest time on my first grow. How many days/weeks do yall think I am from chop day? Couldn’t get any trichome pics since I have jeweler’s loupes but I see an amber trichome just kind of every once in a while, I wouldn’t even out a percentage on it. But I’d like to harvest around 15% amber trichomes. It’s GDP photo fem from seed supreme.

This coming Monday is the start of week 8. Also forgot to add there are definitely some mixed clear and milky trichomes, I just can’t tell you how much of each because i cant keep still enough to really get a clear image with the loupes lol. @MidwestGuy

Here’s a few more pics, a little better quality.

You are close then. Monitor trichomes and harvest when the are colored to your taste.

This is the stage of the grow is where it seems to take eternity. The stigmas will usely change from white to brown and curl into the bud. The tech will be milky. I like mine just when amber starts. I know other people say 10 percent amber. That is not my preference I like peak milky. I always take a few samples off the lower buds. The pics look like there is a few weeks left to me,

Ive heard if you cut your lights on down to 10 or 11 hours at the end it can help speed up maturation. Ive done it an honestly didn’t notice a difference. Its hard but patience seems to be the main thing at this stage. Currently on day 6 of an 8 day dry on my white widow photo’s…Saturday is gonna be fun! Best of luck

2 to 3 weeks would be my guess. You want nearly all those white hairs to turn brown and recede back into the calyx’s then start checking trichomes.

Be patient my friend you have a awesome grow going on. Congratulations. Here Is a microscope that works very well for people like me that can’t hold steady. This can be put on a microphone stand or the bud will help hold steady if you hold it against it. They are about $30. Good luck with your grow it’s beautiful
