I was under impression for first grow that harvest time given was from seed to harvest. I was wrong and I’m not exactly sure when it started. Flowering. Its Grown very nicely And budz Were super sticky looking. Now seem to be drying up a bit. How can I tell if ready or not without Having anything to zoom in on trichs. I’ll post pictures as well. Any thoughts are welcome. Don’t want to mess up first go round. I feel. Pretty good about first grow. this hobby has shown to be very relaxing and rewarding. I needed a hobby. Now I want to be proficient. Thank you innadvance

To help a little further, do you see the dark red receded pistils? Ok now see all the new white ones, your watching for the white to mostly be receded back and reddish, then you’ll be closer and start watching tricomes for your choice in harvest time for what your looking for in final product. I believe @oldmarine has a nice tric pic for harvest

When you see all those white pistils turn from white to red/brown/orange and start to pull back into the bud you will know your close. As the others have said you probably have 2-3more weeks

Welcome to the community!! Your buds look amazing. Lots of white hairs so you have a while to go yet. 
Happy growing!

Definitely not ready. Start checking your trichomes after about 75 to 80 percent of the pistols turn red. Still way too white. Your probably looking at about 3 weeks or so.

Sorry late to the party
I agree pistils tell the tale right now and you do have some time left
You mentioned you might get a microscope, that will be the key, looking at the trichomes
If you can’t do that, I’d wait for the majority of pistils to recede, start feeding only water for a week or so then chop but I’d be nervous not having seen the trichomes

So I ran a run off test Just to see. First I Recalibrated my digital meter to insure accuracy. My ppm was. 4100 and my ph was 4.8. Smh. Thats horrible. Right. I noticed no new growth. Hintz reason for my first post. You think it locked out due to low ph? If not I don’t see how Over 4000 ppm wouldn’t fry that plant. May have gotten lucky who knows. (WAIT YALL PROB DO) 
AFTER A GOOD flush (couple gal) I have her back yo 1200 ppm. And 6.3 ppm. Hopefully things stay on track. Best of luck to you all. I’ll update Pictures at next noticeable difference.
On its way. Thank you for the heads up. Can’t wait. To play with new toy hehe

No need to tag. We can take care of it when we come across it. It’s just so ILGM gets credit for the Amazon traffic.
