- OK... First your plant needs to stop making white hairs...
10 days--Two -Three weeks after the last white hair...
Then the white hairs will recede back into bud and bud will plump up...
Calyxes will swell- How big are your Calyxes? They will grow to small pea size, and the two small hairs on them will recede back into calyx. So the two little hairs recede into Calyx.
After Calyx swell, bud white hairs have receded back into bud [No white hairs on your top colas]
Then check for tric's...
Checking for Tric's before your plant stops making white hairs is jumping the gun....
Checking for amber Trichomes before any of the above listed has been met by your plant is a waste [fun waste] of time....

I beleive the calyxes are half the size of a pea swollen up.
Completely false information. There are MANY strains that shoot out white hairs forever.
If you wait for the hairs to turn colors, you will be waiting for years.
Hair color has NOTHING at all to do with ripeness of buds. Not one single thing. It is a internet myth perpetuated by internet idiots.
Check the trichomes. Don't worry about the hairs. When you harvest the plant. Then they will all turn red.

I think your reading comprehension is a little faulty... and although I really agree with you...
Most newbies check and over check their plant's Tric's
https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/516184-trichomes-harvesting.html
You are and probably harvested too early as most newbies do...
And, if you handle your bud excessively you will damage Tric's... Damaged Tric's are the same as degraded...
So, don't take my word for it...read up...

I totally agree... Hairs will recede... Did I say they turn color?
Totally agree... except, if you check for tric's when you still have white hairs popping up and bright white... it is a waste of time...

^ I dont care what any one says about it. I have been growing over 30 years and I have seen all types of shit.
There are plenty of strains that the hairs don't turn red until they are harvested.
But, you just keep growing out that bud until all the hairs turn red. No skin off my nose.
At one time I was an idiot like you who believed what I read. Then I had a plant 18 wks growing still all white hairs, I pulled out my scope and checked the trichs and I was around 75 % amber....
So there ya go with that "red hair" bullshit.

Who said anything about "Red Hairs"
I never said All Red hairs will turn white...
Maybe you read it, and the voices told you red...
IDK man, I agree with you... 99.9 %
It is just most newbies handle their plants too much too soon...
and should wait a bit... That was what I was trying to convey...

You have done really well considering you only have 75 watts of CFL.
I think you have several more weeks to go but so far she looks cute
can you post more pics of the entire plant, or maybe even start a journal so we can follow your grow?

Doesn't look are are missing much or doing anything wrong so don't change anything.
You should consider more lights, some 2700K CFL's would help

Buy about 10x 100 watt equilivent and get them wired up, that's what my first grow essentially looked like. Be cautious of the heat, those things will heat a room up fast. Or spend $150.00 on an Apollo Horticulture 400watt balast, cool tube, hps, mh, hanging setup, and timer. There is a guy on amazon named lowballer I have dealt with a few times on there, very nice and helpful guy.

lowballer also sells some Apollo Horticulture 2100k cfls that look pretty interesting, might want to give them a shot if you have a limited budget as they (Supposedly) work for both veg and flower so you don't have to buy extra bulbs for different stages.
