Trichomes.. trying my patience!

So I’ve pretty much realized that growing and getting a plant to harvest is not the hard part. The hard part is timing that harvest right and checking trichomes with a loupe or digital microscope… both which I have. I don’t know if my eyes are shot or I just don’t have a steady hand, but this shit is frustrating the bejesus outta me. I cut the main colas last week on this gorilla glue because they were getting kinda crunchy tips and changing colors I think because the light is so close due to no more room and I wanted to give all the other lower stuff more light. I’ve smoked some and it’s decent, but I think I jumped the gun. Today makes 10 weeks in flower and I was going to chop it tomorrow. Im kinda to the point I want to be done with this plant which is a bag seed with unknown genetics and free up space for the autos in flower who can use the room. These are the best I could get with the microscope

Looks like a good time to harvest to me, nice and milky with a few ambers. If you want more of a couchlock high, go a little longer.

just to be sure, that is the buds and not the sugar leaves, right?

I was focusing on the buds, but at the same time, these buds are real leafy. Here’s a pic of the plant, and the colas I chopped last week from same plant

Thanks man, do you see what I mean though. Just sugar leaves everywhere. I’m focusing on the spots of bud but you catch a leaf or two in each shot. This plant was started mid April, and being it’s my first grow. Either way I’m happy with the results and yield

Nice man! That’s a great haul. I didnt even realize this was your first grow also. I don’t know about you, but I’m hooked. Next round of harvest in October.

I feel ya dude. I’m right there with you. But me and a couple of friends smoked some I accidentally clipped from lower branches and got fucked up and for hours. Lol! Maybe that’s why I’m so impatient.
