Noobs use scopes, if you plant ait at least healthy and happy nothing going to mature at the same time and you need to stand back and eyball a decision cause trichs wont mean dick at that point and your just lucky if the smoke is smooth and tasty.

Seriously im against growers using scopes after all the crap i read here, just do what the pros do and go by looks.
I feel they'e done by looks, but to me trichs do mean everything. Whether the buds are big or small, good bud shitty bud, if the trichs aren't cloudy it's not worth pulling. Im' not gonna waste 7 weeks of grow time to harvest premature bud that might get ya high lol. Even if it' unhealthy, which most are at the end of flower, I'll still push it through. I have amber trichs on my bud right now but the hairs haven't changed, it's still swelling, and it's gonna be week 8 friday. I also have purple leafs, purple trichs, clear and cloudy left. All my plants are fading right on time and getting nice color. You won' get fat buds that are fully ripened if you pull early and the high taste and smell isn' gonna be as good. Some strains that last week they really push. Some people.like clear or cloudy some like to make sure they have a certain percentage of amber or color before harvesting. High changes according to the trichs
 
The hairs on the plants started turning orange week 3 of flower.

After fondling the buds for the scope photos, I did get a weed smell!

I see cloudy and amber trichs my man, they'e done. Some clear is ok bc the plant doesn' all mature at the same rate, the tops or whatever is closer to the light will mature faster than the buds growing up the stalk and lower buds. Usually people say 10 to 30 percent amber in a given area is ideal. Usually the statistics on the flowering time is wrong. Either it' shorter than it really takes or its longer and you'l think they finish early. Leds also tend to push some strains out faster and finish quicker than say an hps light.
 
Yes, the top cola buds look ready but the smaller ones recently exposed to the lights are not. I was hoping these smaller buds would get a chance to grow bigger. Won’t it work that way? Can I chop down the big ones and leave the little ones to grow? I want to maximize this grow. I would prefer the buds give me a heavy sedation effect for sleep. I wont be growing again any time soon.

Can try and wait it out longer but its a crap shot.

Learning process :-)

You can chop what's ready and let the other grow some more and get more light that way. If you want a heavy high go ahead and wait another week
 
Here is the last plant in my first grow. She has made it when the others crashed and burned. The Strain is more cowbell.
Do you think she is done? Strain says 63 days. I’m on day 67. The tricomomes are very slightly milky, still a lot of clear ice looking tricomomes and 30% have mushroomed heads but very little amber. Like 1%. I’m thinking of dropping her in the cold 60 degrees with total darkness for 3 days then harvest. What do you guys think?
