What a plant looks like when finished

OK so I’ve heard so many different things about when a plant is actually done producing. My last two grows I’ve got kind of anxious and probably cut them early my trichomes were milky at least most of them anyways I had a few Amber. But my question is this: I see lots of peoples plants that look very ripe the leaves are yellow some even dried curled up the plant just literally looks done LOL. My last two grows my plants were still very green and did not look like that at all. So should I wait till my plants literally looks ripe? Yellow and dead leaves or should I continue to go by trichomes?

If your giving nutes through the whole grow your plants will most likely stay green. The reason some people's plants looks like the leaves are dead is due to them flushing it with just plain water. If a flush is done then the plant basicly eats it self sucking all the nutes it has left in its leaves. I personally don't flush I don't see the point. But every one to there own. The best way I feel to no when your plants are done is through it's trichs altho you have mostly clear and some amber just leave it another week and keep checking your trichs as they tend to change colour all the time.

You hear lots of opinions because there are far too many idiots in this hobby -would it be too much to ask that some actually complete a few grows and work it out themselves.

Most of you should not attempt to grow without the minimun of common sense

OK man your starting to not be a nice guy now, ...be nice, kind, Peace to you.

Use the eagle eye to look at the buds and note the trichomes. Cut what's ready, let what's not ripen.

Thanks to the ones who gave good advice, to the one who got up on my post and lipped off for no reason go smoke a joint

Let’s see some pics!!

Here are mine at the middle of week 7. They’re starting to fade.

And regarding flushing, that really should only be a week long 2 to 3 pour evolutions.
