I have a hell of a time viewing trichomes as well so I defer to the other signs of ripeness. I've also noticed after those signs appear you can kind of see a whitish, and eventually amber, sheen come over the buds as the trichomes mature and go cloudy then to amber. No magnification necessary...

That looks way early to me. Buds are mostly sugar leaves and the pistils are predominantly outstretched and white. I wouldn't even be checking trichomes until a week or two after those pistils have browned and started to curl in. Are you checking the trichomes on sugar leaves? If so ignore...

Some of the pistils look to already be changing color on your plant so I'd expect the rest to follow. That being said, even if they don't change color you will see them begin to retract and curl up as your buds approach ripeness. As this is happening the buds will swell, and visibly get thicker...

It looks like it to me but I'm quite green and I found it pre-harvest. I just threw away way too much last week because of it.

I'm only starting my second grow but I found HID temps to work fine. The CMH doesn't have the IR output of an HPS but it does have some warmth to the light. Personally I'd hang two 315w's as high as your tent will allow so all benefit from the UV, etc... and balance it out with some sort of LED...

I wouldn't even start checking trichomes until most pistils are brown and the buds swell. When you do, ignore the trichomes on the leaves and check the trichomes on the calyx, the actual bud. I think you have several weeks to go.

That looks nice. How far along is yours? Mine just hit flower.

I will caution that I think medium makes a big difference. I started 7 in coco in a 4x3 and had to set up another 3x3 halfway through flower to move 3 of them to. Both tents were packed by the end. I think I would have been fine had they been in soil. I topped over half of them but otherwise I...

That looks very early to me. Are you checking trichomes on the leaves or calyx? I wouldn't even be looking at them yet though. Just my opinion.

I'm just starting and I am indoor only but I will be topping in the future if they seem to be growing pretty quickly. I had a Royal Gorilla last grow that would have outgrown my tent if I didn't top it, and two LSDs and a White Widow that did outgrow it that I didn't top. That being said I...

Not that I would have dried in a cardboard box in a hot room, but I will say I found drying and curing to be one of the most difficult topics to find consistent advice on. I'm largely winging it and seeing what works for me, in my environment. I found it much easier to separate the wheat from...

Look into dry ice hash if you can find a local supplier or if you don't mind paying for shipping. It's dead simple, quick, and there's basically no mess.

That should be a photoperiod so wait until you see root growth wrapping around on the outside of the starter plug. It could take a week or a few. Just be patient.

I'd listen to this guy about cutting nutrients to curtail the foxtailing but I'd still expect them to show new growth. They look a bit young.

No, I meant a photoperiod plant versus an automatic plant. Sorry for the confusion.

Gorilla Glue and Girl Scout Cookies, well Royal Queen Seeds versions of those two anyway. Both are notorious for foxtailing.

Looks like foxtailing to me. If you zoom in you can see the same structure here. This is a GG/GSC cross so it's almost expected as it finishes up. I'm new but I honestly don't think any look particularly done. There are still white pistols and the others haven't darkened substantially or...

I assume these are photos? If so you want to wait until you see a bit of root growth around the outside of your starter plug before sizing up. If it's an auto you want to have it in its final home relatively soon. I usually go seed plug to 3 gal pot within 7 days. Their taproots shoot for the...

I'd leave them be, they don't look bad. Hard to tell but the soil looks a bit wet. I wouldn't give them any more water until it dries out well. These are only like 5-7 days old right? Probably need watered once or twice total, including the intial soaking, depending on conditions.

Need clearer pictures from above but that looks like the cotyledon which do often curl down. That light does look awfully close, though I'm not sure how intense it is.
