Trichome pictures - few more weeks?

[Cwmoore577]

I’m sure this question is a tiring one. This will be my first harvest and I would prefer a more heady high rather than a couchlock one so I thought I get some differing opinions on it.



Thanks!!

I’m sure you will get a good answer soon. I think all of the experienced folks are gone to a convention or something cause it seems slow around here this evening. I no pro but it looks early, still some clear.

Atleast 2 weeks, that plant is not done swelling and ripening yet.

Ignore the whole heady high versus couchlock high thing. If you harvest plants early you get less high. This may seem more "up beat" at first, but it also won't last nearly as long....because you are less high... Once you have more grows under your belt and you have plants to play with, then experiment with them. That's what I did over many years and hundreds of plants. I found a LONG time ago that the best smoke comes from FULLY ripened healthy plants.

The type of high you get depends predominantly on the strain and the specific effects it triggers in YOUR body. Strain effect varies greatly based on personal physiology. As you grow more plants and try more strains you will start to understand how they effect you. Personally I LOVE sativas!

It is REALLY easy to harvest plants too early, especially on your first grow since you havn't learned to read all the signs the plant is giving you. There are MANY experienced growers that don't listen to the signs, and still harvest early because they don't care and are trying to turn a crop faster. Harvesting early will result in lower weight and lower quality, period.

It is REALLY HARD to harvest plants too late. It takes weeks for these growth processes to occur. Plants don't go from good to bad over night. I've never seen someone accidentally overripen a plant.

Best response I’ve received on here yet. There’s so much misinformation from reading articles from “experts”. Thanks for the knowledge brother!

Plant looks good and healthy good job there guy. But it's nowhere finished its close tho also looks sativa dominant. But depending on your setup and your strain we cant actually say from random trichome pics.You could have 2 weeks left or more your plants nowhere the end of it's life tho.

Id give it another month those buds are really small plant hasn't swelled and leaves are green as hell.

My advice is listen to @Thundercat.

Give them a few more weeks and share some more pictures here. They should be a lot closer then. Happy growing buddy.

Also while I’ve got y’all here I fed them 2 days ago and just noticed some white-ish splotches and dark veins on many leaves. Is this something to worry about or normal late flower stuff?
