The second pic is the one that is more mature. The first pic looks like it's ready to go as well.

Really?! Man how much longer you think? The pic with the windows in the background, the plant appears to be getting smaller...and since its hot out some of the long sugar leaves are super brown and brittle?

But like i said, Im a first time grower so Im not sure.

If the Trichomes were all cloudy but the pistils were not that orange, could that just be the type of strain?

Trichomes can be misleading.People here wait for all pistils to turn dark and receed into the calyx.Then give about a week to start checking Trichomes

Ohh ok ok. Cool. Thats good to know. Also I saw a video about squeezing the nugs gently to see if they are hard or more spongy. Spongy means not ready yet. Does that technique work at all?

That is what some do during drying .If you squeeze it and it don't bounce back ,it needs to dry more.Your buds need time to swell.You will see them gaining weight and bending their branches over.GL

Ok cool. I was just concerned with one plant because it was the farthest along out of all of them and then, it looked like it was shrinking lol. But I will just keep watching them =D
