Tips and tricks to tell when the ladies are ready

I'm a couple days shy of 2 months since flip. Havnt even started checking trichomes yet. How do you guys tell when they are getting close?

Needs 2-3 weeks or so more. The pistils will recede more and the calyxes will swell.

So a couple few weeks do think they will fatten up a bit more? I’m still noticing a lot of long white pistols lower down.

Oh ya. They fatten up nicely the last 2-3 weeks. It might not look like it, but they pack on quite a bit of weight if you let them. Mine usually start sagging the last couple weeks.

Best tip and trick, your a loupe to check trichome heads.
When 10-15% of them turn brown/amber, harvest

Wait for all white pistils to turn brown.

As they reced into the buds I begin checking trichomes.

I dont bother check before that anymore. It just depresses me when its not what I want to see.
