Hey y'all, so I've bought a jewelers loup and this is my first grow. I intended to chop on Saturday, which will be 55 days from 12/12, which is the northern lights x big bud flowering time. I was thinking if trichomes didn't look what online says to look for i would give more time. What I didn't expect was for it to look ready early. When I look at the trichomes almost all are milky, but I'd say maybe 10-20% of them are looking amber already. The pictures don't look near as good as the microscope, but I took some in the tent and some out and zoomed in on some. There are definitely some trichomes turning amber. Would it still be okay to go to Saturday or would it be better to chop a little early. She does look amazing overall for a first grow, so either way I won't be disappointed!
Harvest at 7 weeks? (Pictures)

Dont look at the leaves but deep in a budsite when viewing glands with a scope.
You are at least 3 weeks from harvest. Check back with more images then.

So you really think 3 weeks?!? That would put me at a 10 week flower when the seeds say 55 days, which is right at about 8?

3-4 weeks and Breeder days are fantasy just like breeder yields
So if this is the case, what do you typically see for yields then? What should I expect I guess.

too many variables, ignore the seed times, and yields... Also, no one anyone will give you an estimate for yield either, your plants are different than someone else's.
Wait until you dont see any more white hairs growing, they will turn orange and die back, then start checking your scope. you're at least 2-3 weeks away minimum.
Also, as someone else pointed out, dont be looking at trichomes on the leaves, you want to be looking at the actual bud, and look in a bunch of spots on the plant, and take it when you've got a majority cloudy, rest amber, and the least amount of clear (try to get none).

Keep going , buds will get better and better over the next few weeks. Wait til pistils color off and recede as stated. Flowers will harden off as they peak.

dont read bro, if you grow it in a lab maybe it could finish, which i highly doubt tbh...
