Any thoughts would be appreciated. This is second grow first time I think I let it go too long I never got a great smell buds were huge and looked great but never got the good bud smell? Current grow started Nov 1 seeds are ILGM White Widow Autos. Have been using Sensibloom nutrients. Photos attached thank you for any advice you can provide.

My WWAs went 13 weeks sprout to harvest. If you have a jewelry loupe or portable microscope you can look at the trachoma to Ed how many are clear, how many cloudy, and how many amber. You want little clear, some amber, mostly cloudy. Too much clear too much Amber is too early and too late respectively
Your plants look awesome. Congrats on your effort so far!

I do have a loop and a mini lighted microscope just not sure what I’m looking at? Is it the leaves I’m scoping or the buds? And I’m only 7ish weeks i to grow I may have a long way to go your suggesting? I added booster to the nutrients yesterday and was planning to go a week with that mix and a week of flush. Do you think I’m rushing it?

You want to sample multiple locations from the plant and the samples should be flower material and not sugar leaves (they mature more quickly). Here is a shot of mature trichomes.

Thank you for the great photo. I would have interpreted that as mostly clear that was the mistake I made last time. I won’t be able to get back to my tent till much later today but I would love to post some close up photos of buds to get your opinion? This is a single plant grow so all photos are of one single plant. Thank you

I had to snip a little bud to take photo just using iPhone best I could do. How did you get such a tight photo?

i am growing white widow auto as well. mind germinated from 9.11 to 9.15… right now i am just getting ready to harvest. 4 are ready, other 2 are going to need another week or more. they started to flower 10.15ish
You got a ways to go. 13 weeks seed to weed is average for Autos. I grow WWA, at 7 weeks, you are just starting flowering.
30 days (4 weeks) to pre-bloom from dropping seed, give or take few days. About 2 weeks to full bloom and 7ish weeks getting fat and sticky. Plan a flush 2 weeks before harvest.

I bought one of those 3 mp digital otoscopes that plug into your phone or tablet. They work great for keeping a record but I use a loupe more than taking photos.
I see white pistils on your sample which tells me you have a ways to go. Your WW auto will need a good 65 days in flower to finish and some never show amber or cloudy trichomes. When you start to see obvious signs of a fully mature plant you can start watching the trich’s.
