another typical how much longer till harvest question

hello everyone, I was wondering how much longer you think I have left in my grow. this has been my first attempt and I actually ended up with six females out of 8 germinated bag seed. the plants appear to be sativa dominant and have been in flower for roughly eight weeks under a 600w hps. I wish I would have found this forum long ago it would have saved me all the headaches that this first grow has given me. but about a quarter of the pistils have started to turn orange and the plants are still seeming to be lacking in trichimes on the sugar leaves but I have noticed a good development over the past few days.

You need to buy at least a 20x microscope cost about $8.00. The glands are the only way to truly know for sure. So I will never say yes or no there good to cut down on here. Plus to get a better look at them u need to show photos of the plants in a whiter light hps sucks for photo lighting. Lol. Plus rep

thank you Jloi I was honestly just asking because I ordered a 40x scope on amazon but it says it could come anytime between the 9th and 27th and I'm afraid the end of the month will be too late. looks like ill order a scope from a vendor actually within the country just to be sure it's here on time. I'll repost with pictures tomorrow, my girls are in their dark period right now.

They look good by the way!

need better pics and closer to the buds with better lighting. looking good!

ok guys I took some pics I figured flipping the light on half an hour into dark wouldn't mess up the cycle. here they are

Id let them go another week or two . They look like they have some swelling to do. You could harvest now and lose out on weight but get a more head high or wait and get stoned to the couch and get a lot more. They pack on most of there weight in the last couple weeks

nice fat buds. I would get a scope from a grow store or somewhere to make sure.

Id go 10 weeks from looks of pics and stop feeding at this point if you havent yet. just give plain water the same amount you have been just no ferts...

what the strain by the way?

Do they really pack the most on in the last couple weeks? I was wondering what period they gained the most weight. I am pretty happy with my buds right now they still have 3 weeks.

Looks the a lot of the hairs are still pointing straight out, I think the bud is still packing on weight. Might be a couple more weeks

thanks everyone for the replies! it's good to know the end is in sight and I'll finally get to start some beans I ordered from the tude. excited for guaranteed good genetics!! I'll probably be starting a journal for my next grow. thinking of running four autos II got scrogged in three gallon air pots. grown is espoma organic soil with jacks classic blossom booster since the soil should have enough mutes to get the plants through veg.
