First time grower, how soon till I should harvest.

I'm a big sativa head high kinda guy. Not sure what strain this is to be honest. But I definitely prefer a heady wakeful high

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 ?

Once amber has left the building the party is ending. Dead buds don't grow.

wouldn't say they are dead yet as they do still have some white pistils but I'm not sure if that's any direct sign they will still get bigger.

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.

Time to harvest. Ok?

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

There are lots of things to learn growing. Got harvest? Then you did good.

So I likely have a sativa then ?
9 weeks since the flip, about 7 weeks since real flowering began.

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?

You stopped feeding before the swell began? nfg
