1st Grow

[Saarr85]

Hi! New and excited to be here!
About to harvest my 1st grow and dont want to harvest too early. I think I am about 2 to 3 weeks out. I've had quite a bit of issues but I learned a lot and know what i need to improve on for next time.
Due to the issues I dont think the buds are going to fill in too much more but I still want to harvest at the right time for optimal strength. I have a couple decent close up pics and I think the trichomes are not quite mature yet.
Any advise welcome.

During the veg they were outside and I brought them in to bloom. Needless to say I have been struggling with pests. Aphids namely. But they are small in numbers and I am controlling them well.
I will do a tear down and thorough cleaning before next grow

Hey Saarr85,

Welcome to 420! Nice plants you have there! We can’t advise based on those pics other than yes there’s some gooey sugar on those leaves! To really judge ripeness you need to be zoomed up enough to see if the trich heads are clear, cloudy or amber colored.

Daylight pics always help and a jewelers loupe, pocket microscope, or digital microscope is very beneficial both for seeing trichs plus pests since mites and eggs are freaking miniscule. There is smartphone app called magnifyer that works too

More people will stop by soon
