Nice plants for your first time. Looks like a little longer but its the tricombs or the stuff that looks like sugar on it that is the best indicator. If you can take a closeup of the frost we might have a better chance to tell. When they start to turn amber your there.

Ok I'll try to send a magnified pic I was thinking about flushing already would that be a good idea or would you need to see the trics first and thanks for the comment I tried...

I see new, white pistils everywhere and very little calyx swell. You are shooting yourself in the foot IMHO if you take it now, but then again, I'm not there and I've never ran your plant obviously lol. Just looking at it, I'd let most, if not all those pistils wither and those calyxes swell up nice and fat if there are no mold issues. That's just me. I'd say 2-3 weeks more at minimum for top grade dank ass shit and a lot more weight. You have taken this far, what a shame to blow it now bro.

2-3 weeks?

Yep, I bet it takes a couple weeks for those pistils to all wither and the calyxes to look like my profile pic, which is what a ripe plant looks more like. I can't even see a calyx in his pics or maybe barely in the macro shot.

Nice stack up there...amazon sells 40x loupes for 3 bucks each...tell us what you have for trichomes before you cut em down.
PS...what did you use for soil and feed Mr. Green thumb?
Thanks I used the dino lite to see the tricomes it's about $100.00 but worth it since I plan on having more grows and for soil I used miracle grow 6 month feed,bud candy, carbaload, diamond necter, beast bloomz, flora nova A&B part that's about it just got a little info from a friend so I thought hek let me try it out for my first grow I'm kind of happy with it but always room for improvement...

You did see the pics at the top of the post right? Those buds are about as full as thell get im thinking....and what percent amber tricombs do you shoot for case the op has at least 10% already and everything else is milky.

All I'm seeing are loads of white pistils, a few just starting to turn and not one shriveled back into her very swelled calyx. That plant needs two weeks+, minimum, in my world, but if the op wants grass and to lose a signifcant chunk of potency, reduced final harvest weight and loss of potential terpene profile upon curing, then by all means, whack her down. Anybody who has smoked a ripe plant like I'm describing knows the difference.
