Some cloudy trichs, lots of brown pistils

How much longer do you guys think I got til I can harvest? I'm seeing some cloudy, still a lot of clear and no amber trichs. Most of the pistils are brown and starting to curl in. The pic is of my top cola (micro grow) -- yield is gonna suck, but will be better next time.

Brown pistols don't really mean anything those are still standing up searching for pollen wait till calyxes are swollen and hairs have receded with 90% cloudy 10% amber trichs

Just remember, one day you will go to check on your girl and she will look completely different. That's when she's ready ( although trich color is important also ) in my book. Your book might have a different cover.

Thanks. I'm so ready for this grow to be over. The next one is going to be a lot better. I've got a lot of experience this first time and have a lot of different/better ways I'm going to do things next time.

Just a suggestion: Grow an femmed autoflower ( or two ) along with your next grow. The auto will flower right next to your vegging plants in 20/4, 18/6, 16/8 etc etc and give your photo girls something to aspire to be.

First thing to remember is that all that time can be wasted on a lax harvest. There is more to learning on how to harvest and cure and take care of your weed for best potency then there is growing. After all it is a weed. It's all part of the learning it dosent end the minute you chop your lady down!

Thanks, this is actually a northern light auto. I'm going away from autos on my next grow though. Going with bubbleicious and AK48 just feminized for the next round. My main problem with this grow was I didn't research and understand LST and SCROG enough before it was too late. I scrog'ed but did it wrong. The plants stretched way too much and only have one main cola. Plus it's a micro grow in a PC box from mrgrowpro. I love the box, but I have a lot better ideas and improvments to make things better next time.

Seeds: Not getting auto's, got 2 feminized strains, bubbleicious and AK48 -- Also, won't have to be so careful with nutes and can follow the BioBiz schedule.
Lighting: Getting some strong magnetic hooks and some flexible wire. Going to use that to hang the LED right rails directly over the plants, especially in veg.
Flower Pots: Had circular ones at 1 gallon this round, but even then the soil dropped down so much after a week or two of watering cause I didn't pack it well enough. Found some square pots that hold 1.3 gallons, should be a lot better especially if I fill them right this time before planting.
Nutes: Adding BioBizz Root Juice, BioBizz Heaven, and Top Max. May also get the Ala-g-mic also. Also getting some better droppers to more accurately measure nutes.
Training: Going to actually LST from the beginning and do it right, hopefully, using the screw and tie method. I've been doing a lot of research about it, so I think I have a process that will work well. I may also top the plants, depending how much yield I get from this first grow.
Number of plants: Would still like to grow two at a time, but may end up doing one. Most likely try two though

Yea, I've done a lot of research regarding harvesting, drying and curing and feel that I have a good grip on it. I did build my own DIY odor controlled dry box. You can view that thread with pics below if interested.
