First harvest for me

This is my first time growing and first harvest. I did a lot of things wrong but I sure have learned what not to do and what to do next time! This group is great and I appreciate what goes into growing. I still have lots of questions and will continue to add To my knowledge base to make a better yield and quality.
I grew three strains. Strawberry Banana, Kali Mist and Skywalker. Skywalker gave me fits with two of the three plants turning hermie on me. My fault. I know I stressed them and over fertilized them at 12/12. None of the other plants turned hermie so I’m happy with that.
The excitement of cutting and trimming buds is crazy!
I look forward to reading about your grows and woes and someday I’ll be giving advice when I am ready!
Thank you all!

Very nice. Next time let em go longer to get the most out of the genetics.
Trichomes were starting to amber. I did wait on one Strawberry Banana and will watch it closely. As far as the others they appeared to have 70-100% of the hairs darkened (70% on one and the others were 100% dark and curled in).
 
Ya gotta love Strawberry Banana! Its definitely one of my favorites! Great job getting through you first of many grows to come!!!
Good luck friend!

CHeck trichomes on calyxes. Sugar leaf trichs aren’t a good indicator as they turn faster. Not saying anything negative about the bud but personally I’d take it longer. I don’t even need to see trichs to know Id take it longer. I go for 20-25% estimated amber for a stronger and longer lasting high. I take every plant over 70 days no matter what it is. I’ll never go back to harvesting earlier
