Third grow here. I feel like I’m getting a good handle on being patient and not harvesting too early, but I’m still not confident in my ability to read trichomes. This is my white widow in her 9th week of flower. She’s in a good fade, and my read says I should keep waiting, but wanted to get some more opinions to be sure. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/4/c/44c6eeaf5eaeee6c10d86a67b7c1f8a59313d7c3.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/8/0/d80c86be6c55f29b398c3a33ad6ebb4fb24fbcc5.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/4/3/54345bfbcbcfdc728baef31aa49638fe5136be72.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/b/7/5b7e1321ec783d4b288fd95cdc4173b5e893ca11.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/b/5/e/b5ef4ceeb5bf04f475f2876789aa5f6bc096fa2a.jpeg) ---

You could chop now but you may eventually need a pace maker if you smoke all that bud. I’d say a 10+ day forecast may be called for. Don’t forget how much more chunky they get in the last few weeks of growth. Real nice looking weed. You are inspiring me to start my next grow! ---

Not ready. To many white pistils, and no amber trichs. Probably a week or maybe two. ---

@Jmky105 , good patience! They look close but you’ll be at peek potency when you see a few ambers on the buds, not on the leaves. You look to be nearly all cloudy and some milky white. You have some new growth. The buds should be getting a bit beefier. When the amber starts (on the buds), the plant is done growing. Looking great right now.
