First time grower, how soon till I should harvest.

Depending on what you like, couch-lock or high might be time to cut. I like high so I harvest when they just start to cloud. Amber is couch-lock. More than that is a waste. (which means you killed the THC.)
Would expect bigger buds than in my pics if you were after the high and not couchlock feel ?
 
Look up tricomes. Then go get a jeweler's loupe so you can see them. Go by what was said above.
I have a 40x and have viewed the trichromes a plenty and I can't locate any clear heads period. All cloudy. Just dont know if it will pack on any more weight or not.
 
Your vote is harvest and I would love nothing more I just know the average new grower can jump the gun a bit. And just a day or 2 ago more than a few guys were saying more nutes and like 2 weeks or so to go
 
But it's been 9 weeks of flower so I'd guess they're done and I just didn't get a huge harvest. I'm only running a 400w hps and mh depending on stage

how long did you veg for? that can make a big difference on flower time if they weren't mature enough when you flipped. they're not ready yet - you're looking at maybe two weeks but possibly three. don't chop early. they put a lot of weight on these last few weeks.
 
I waited for presex indicators to flip to flower, even with all the yellowing and sugar leaf curling you think I should give more nutes and wait 2 or 3 weeks ?
 
The way they look now I dont think they would last 2 or 3 weeks without nutes but then I see the leaf tip burn or curl and question everything lol

Never once, that I noticed, have you told us what strain you are growing. What did the breeder you bought the seeds from say it was? How long did he claim it flowered?
