is this your first grow? if so congratulations! (even if not congratulations) that looks lovely, i would happily smoke that
many people hate this part of the grow, not me though, it can be hard work but you are so close to the finish line you can taste it. i could trim for a week i think.

Thanks! Not the first, the 4th grow, but I'm happy with it. My plants seem to be finishing in stages, so I can spread out the harvesting and trimming.is this your first grow? if so congratulations! (even if not congratulations) that looks lovely, i would happily smoke that

Grats! My favorite part...except the first smoke, lol. I love the trimming and it's nice to be able to stop worrying (for compulsive individuals like myself) and know you've completed the task, haha.

I know! It's such a relief to be at the finish line and not have encountered all the potential disasters that you worry about. This has been the most non problematic grow I've done (knock wood - don't want to jinx anything!)

Congrats! There's nothing like smoking your own bud. I love being self-sufficient one of the greatest feelings.

That's a great point, self sufficiency, and probably the biggest reason I started growing, so I wouldn't be at the mercy of a-holes who never seemed to deliver what they promised.

damn, the title had me fooled too, thought this was your first grow. I was ready to say that it was hands DOWN the best first grow results I've ever seen.
either way, it's indisputable that you do, indeed know what you're doing. Good Job
those are picked at the perfect time. that's usually the thing that takes the most practice. Very nice.

All this time I've been reading about people who can just LOOK at their plants and know when they're done; now I know what that means. It's fun being able to "read" your plants. As I'm sure many already know, it's a relationship with the plant spirit that develops, not to get too new-agey about it, but that's how I feel.

yeah
Totally true, I haven't used a microscope ever to tell when there done, granted it's a great way to check them, I just haven't felt the urge to do so, two of my keeper strains I've been growing for over 8 years (jack herer, blue dream) so I've had probably 20 harvests to get a good feeling on them, in fact i'm not sure when I first got the blue dream, it's been so long. It kinda comes naturally at this pointAll this time I've been reading about people who can just LOOK at their plants and know when they're done; now I know what that means.
