First grow day 55 from sprout Newbie Nerves

Just wanted comments, advice if anyone has any helpful tips for me. This is my first cannabis grow ever. Need help finishing these ladies

Doesn't look like much help is needed. Plants look good.

Stick the landing. Read a lot about curing.

They only take a short period of time to dry and if you miss the windows you basically wasted a lot of time to get grass weed.

Thank you! How much longer do you think till harvest

Probably a month...they will look done...but not be done. It sucks. They sit in the...I look done phase....for a week or 2.

My plants look done as fuck. But ain't done yet.

Thank you!

Just keep doing what you've been doing and keep them healthy until harvest.

looking good, hang in there! Great advice on harvesting, your plants will finish nicely if you keep doing what you're doing so the next big hurdle will be waiting long enough to harvest, then it will be drying them just right. Get a few decent mini hygrometers and test them-I forgot the name of the test but you moisten some salt and put it in a jar with the thing-there are instructions online. Then you can test each hygrometer and figure out their exact accuracy. Then you just focus on not overdrying your buds before you get them in the jars-then just go by the hygrometer readings. None of it is very difficult, just requires daily attention, focus, and restraint. Do not harvest too early! There is almost no chance you will harvest too late.

Thank you for the advice! So excited!!

Help with what, telling you to be patient LOL! They look great, and there's not too much work from here on out. The buds will keep getting bigger with more crystals, and more and more potent. Towards the last week or so, you'll want to stop with the nutes and let the plant leech whatever it needs from the stored energy in the fans. The leaves will start to look depleted and will turn yellow and brown. This is absolutely normal. If you continue to supply nutrients up until harvest, you have a good chance of ending up with weed that can be harsh, from the excess nitrogen.

If you dont have at least a 30x jeweler's loupe, get one. They're cheap. Use it to look at the trichomes to determine when it's time to harvest. When you start to see a handful of amber trichs on the buds, it pretty much time to harvest. Too much amber causes couch lock, and not enough milky will mean less potency. You can look at the pistols for reference. When they get really dark orange and brown, start looking at the trichs. Trichs are more accurate than hairs.

You've probably got another few weeks.

Thank you!!

Just wanted to post pics of trichomes. The first pic is the mute, they look clear to me.
The next couple pics are of her sister and they are looking mostly milky. I just wanted to check with everyone and make sure I'm reading the trichomes correctly. First grow nerves!

Stop looking at trichomes. Think of it like cooking a steak. You don’t cut open and check the inside before the outside looks done do you? Plants look good. Keep doing what you’re doing. Take this time and search through ripe bud pics.

Thank you! I have started reading about harvesting and it seems as though there are many variables to being ready to harvest. The buds swell, the hair turn orangish/ amber, the hair retract, and there is change in the trichomes. I am going keep researching, harvesting because I don't want to f*** my lovely ladies up
I'm a firm believer that the plants tell you what they need, ( think this is why they are looking good for my first grow), so I'm hoping to believe they will also tell me when they are finished, well along with more research. Thank you!!! I appreciate your input.
I don't want to get stuck on the trichome train!

I'm in the same boat as you in my first grow, waiting while my pistils looking like shredded taco cheese. Mine are about a week or so older. So nervous about the end of the process because it took 3 months to get to this point. Plants look really good! Good luck to you.
