One more week?

Thank you. This is my first grow ever so there where some mistakes that may have hurt my yield. I thinking I might get 2 1/2 ounces out of here. Hopefully the next run will be a better one.

I dont do autos but it looks like it could go another couple weeks imo.. almost done, but if you cut now you're going to wind up with mostly hairs

I was gonna go one more week. just a couple of days make a huge difference with autos from what I’ve read. But when I checked my trichs they looked like a little over half of them where cloudy.

I dont even look at trichomes until the bud looks finished.. you want the calyxes to swell and the pistils to recede. You're on your first grow.. Everybody has to learn their own way and I respect that. Take it when you feel its done and see how things dry. I like to let my shit finish longer than most but I took my first couple rounds down early and it was the best way for me to learn.. You're getting close to the point where every day will make the end product exponentially better. If you want fat buds that break down proper you'll want to wait.. If you need some smoke and are just curious to what you'll end up with, maybe clip a couple smaller buds, try and leave your mains if possible.

Good luck!

This says it well, lol I almost put it in my sig line.

Your plant looks so nice I personally would hate to see you chop it early and not get to experience its full potential. You've got a hybrid that looks like its slightly sativa dominant from the looks of the leaves and growth. You're still getting fresh growth on the tops of the buds as they are filling out. The next step is the swell. This plant needs time to properly mature.

I can confidently say one of the main reasons new growers aren't happy with their crop is they cut it too early. It won't smell as good, it won't have the same high, and you lose out on weight if you cut it early. You won't harvest the plant too late, I guarantee that. I've never seen someone accidentally harvest to late except for some extreme situation where they couldn't get to the plants to harvest them or something.

That all being said I encourage everyone to try things out for themselves and embrace the learning process. Either way you've got a nice plant for a first grow so cheers!

Don’t worry she isn’t coming down yet. You and blowincheerypie both brought up some good points that I didn’t know. So thank you to the both of you for the advice guidance.
