So 1st grow, 2nd actual but 1st time ive gotten to flower! In a 2x4x5 tent used FFOF soil under 6 4"inch t5's just grew with General Hydroponics grow and bloom.. Ive flowered for 48 days (6weeks and 6days) feel im getting close to finish. Im using a 30x loupe to check trichromes but those are hard to differenciate feel like theyve gone clear to cloudy but no amber, alot of pistils have turned orange but still some white and at lower inside of plant noticed some new white pistils popping up! I dont want to harvest to early but also dont want to harvest too late. I may have started to flush too soon as i read somewhere 7weeks would be good time to harvest so as of today ive flushed plant for 2weeks.. Kinda feel i couldve waited longer b4 flush and continued nutes a lil longer too late now!! Rookie mistake...I picked the 25th to harvest and im wanting opinions b4 i go and chop them up. So heres the ladies thoughts,suggestions or advice please comment, thanks in advance RIU friends!!!!:leaf:

3 weeks to be sure! Dont want to miss the last plump. Add one more nute blast, your plants wont handle 3 more weeks of no food after 2 weeks of flushing

You should take a bud and try it. You may like it the way it is, or you may want a variety. Otherwise, you will not have any perspective.
They look great!

I did the exact same thing. Cut nutes too early at week 7. I did however start my flush with unsulphured blackstrap molasses every watering until the end. I harvested week 9, ambers were 5 percent.

So upon hearing everyone's feedback, I determined i still have a week or two before harvest.. I decided since i had already did my 2week flush at week 6 and plants weren't ready and i still have a couple weeks left that id hit em with nutes last water and begin to flush again through weeks 7-8.5!!! Didn't want to deprive plants during final growth phase, which i kinda did since i flushed and stopped nutes but figured one last pull of nutes may be better then 3weeks no nutes!! Here's some new pics, pics are taken at 7weeks and 6days..Pic 7-9 Im using a 30x loupe attached to my phone to try and show trichromes which imo are cloudy with really no amber, I have found a few amber but wasn't able to post pic since its so few and only on a few spots! I am now aiming to harvest anywhere from 6-9 days which will bring me to week 8.5 at 6days and 9weeks at 9days!!! Any thoughts or suggestions let me know.. Thanks again friends:bigjoint:

Looks MUCH better!
Seems like you picked up some size too.;-)
A little foxtailing in pic #2?
You say you're seeing a few amber, and the hairs look better, and she 'looks' almost ready.
I think you're on schedule.

Still really no amber yet, at 60 days (8weeks 4days) into flower.. Most leaves are turning yellowish, some branches are hanging from weight of buds and constantly having to tie plants up so they dont lean over! I'd say trichomes are mostly cloudy to some clear with very little amber.. Not sure if ready yet dont wanna chop too early but dont wanna miss top potency, Ive read amber trichs is a sign of thc beginning to degrade so with as little amber i have maybe im ready??? Not sure heres some overall pics to check out and let me know what you guys think!!!!

Ya man, booty full!
She 'looks' ready, are you using a 45x or better scope?
I pulled mine with just 5-10% amber, even though I still had a few clear.
