If you are low on funds look into this mars 300 if your only doing one plant. otherwise get a bigger one or a high end led if you can afford it.

Yeah man wait a few weeks till you harvest. Let the pistils recede and you will get more out of what u have. You are definitely in the right place to learn, I picked everything I know about indoor growing here.

Ok if you see a lot of milky and some amber that is personaly when I chop them some people like to let it go longer but it is all preference. Are gonna give it a dark period or just hack it first. I'm not sure if this is factual or fiction but people will do 24-48 hours of darkness to ripen the trichromes. Not sure if it works I don't really notice a difference. But I still do the 24

can't vote yet, need 2-3 more weeks, anything before and gonna have to go with "Nah U Suck" cuz like more then one said let ur hair receed some. don't look bad but not done. lay off the N, space out waterings and leave it alone, no defoliating! i would move those CFL close to the plant too, only good @ couple inches.

Haven't been feeding it fertilizer at all, just normal water so i don't know where you got lay of the N

Yea OP, the trichs are what matters. If they are still clear give it some time. you want them to be cloudy. If you see some starting to turn amberish that's when you want to chop. When they all get amber that's when you are going to get more of that couchlock/sleepy effect.

IMO u did great for the materials you have. Go out and buy something like this, cheap to run and will produce better results. i bet you can find one on craigslist for like $50 or less. I use a 2"x2" one for veg, but you can even flower with them and adding one to your LED will greatly improve your results on your next run. Your results are 75% light, watts = weight!

I don't have a microscope to look real real close like that but i've got 20 x 15 eye sight and a small magnifying glass and most of the trichomes are real cloudy right now
you can see the trichomes cloudy with just eyesight? I must have really bad eyes. :)

LOL! That's good. It seems like they are never ready. One more week, one more week, one more week. Enjoy your first harvest, keep at it. But yeah closer to 70 days then 60 always seems to be the case.
