just wanted some feedback & opinions..
<Specs>
Using roots organic soil. Using blackstrap, pbpro, golden tree, & splash of cal mag+
Using mars hydro 450w *missing sum diodes* led & a 2ft t5 & sum xtra supplemental light w a few cobs & "mini-leds" .. all together i put this project together in 3 days time rushed & on a major budget, oh & the girls were all taken 3week old clones & topped them & lst'd & experimented etc. Put straight into cabinet .. the cold winter air here makes me pull my hair out when i wake up at 6am & look in & see 40° on therm. Not only was i shocked that they even lived but they seemed to be overall tighter & frostier buds ... maybe its just me but after a LONG run (even had a case of bugs at 1 point 'thrips' ) I feel like i rode this grow till the wheels fell off battling mother nature & myself all the way. Experience truly is the best teacher. Peace grow fam..
*p.s. they are 110 days old*

The first two pics look close to me. Then the third throws a kink in it imo. There are white hairs that haven't receded yet, otherwise they do look nice for your conditions. I use a $5 microscope that's a 60x or something to check the trichomes. I harvest when the buds just start to get a bit of amber color on the trichomes. Plus, you don't have to harvest every bud at once. I have harvested buds at different times on a couple of grows. Now that I tie my plants down, the buds ripen much more evenly giving me a nice harvest all at once.

Nice grow. Another way to check about when to harvest is to check (if you don't have a scope) is to see how many red hairs are on the buds, as compared to white ones.

Also, if you have pistols still growing upward, its too early. (what I've read).

Looks like you could probably have lowered your lights a bit. Looks a little high. Not a bad grow for a new guy using a MarsHydro blurple board, really. Pretty. It doesn’t look like it’s swelled quite yet, so you have a bit more time, I think. And your pistils are still white and long. When it swells, they’ll retract into the fattening bud and turn red/orange/pink/purple.
