Newbie needing some help please both pics are different plants same genetics same in every way just one seems to be miles ahead than the other they both have been treated exactly the same in every way is this a common thing? They were flipped on the 28th feb 80% Indica 20% sativa im thinking the second plants is around a wk ahead of the first plant and around 3-4wks off chop ?
Cheers man what do you think 3-4wks off also will I end up haven to chop one plant before the other ?

Not sure why you quoted me in your comment? I know when and how to harvest. I'm constantly trying to teach new growers just that. 90% of new growers harvest to early and then want to know why their weed smells like grass or doesn't really get them high. Really trichomes are one of the last things to look at, the stigma(pistils) will redden and receed first, and then you still typically have 10-14 days still when the plant swells internally and puts on weight while it ripens up.3 weeks at least, brother. Scope those trichomes and see what they're telling you. Harvest comes down to personal preference. Me personally, I like my triches to be about 10% amber with the rest being mostly milky. I like a medical quality in my bud that can put me to sleep at nights. If you want more of a head high, then harvesting when you have 50/50 milky and clear is also good. In any case, you're still looking at a 2 week harvest window for either preference. Best of luck in whatever you decide. Keep us updated.

It is VERY easy to harvest to early, and VERY hard to harvest to late. The only times I've seen plants go TOO long was when it was very much done on purpose by the grower as an experiment. Otherwise people don't have the patients to wait for them to be OVER-ripe. Thus the harvest window
For the record I think these plants could easily take more then 4 weeks, but that has yet to be seen. Its way to early to make any kind of final call yet. One seems to be starting with some amber stigma so it may be beginning to get closer. However it could just be early ambers and they still have 5-6 weeks left. You can't rush plants along, and they won't be done until they are done
I agree top plant has been a shit to care for very needy typical Spoilt Princess lol
the others are very similar in there needs.
I’m loving this learning curve and it’s down to you guys so big thanks to you all that have helped me advised and kicked my newbie ass at times lol
