When will my THC Bomb be ready to harvest?

[JessJessJess]

Im wondering when my auto THC Bomb will be ready to harvest? Could someone please let me know what I should be looking out for?

I am a complete newbie and am growing just for fun on a low budget. My "set up" is a basic tall airing cupboard with flat white walls. I have two THC Bomb plants standing at around a metre tall each, probably around 5 weeks into flowering. I have been using fox farms nutrients.

I have one 250w white CFL (I know I should be using a red spectrum bulb in this stage but I don't really want to spend much more at this point).

The buds are looking far more developed at the top of the plants but still very small.

Any advise on when they will be ready, tips on how to get the buds bigger and what to look out for to know when it's time to harvest is very welcome.

Thank you!

Nice plants you got growing there. For more/bigger buds get more light, but you're doing okay with you've got. Next time you grow you should top and possibly LST to get more branches instead of having just 1 main branch. Not sure where you got your seeds but Leafly says THC bomb takes between 7-9 weeks to flower, and I doubt yours will be ready at 7 weeks. Get something to magnify (magnifying glass, jewelers loupe, microscope, etc) and check the trichomes. Best time to harvest, or atleast start the flush, is when most trichomes are cloudy with some turning amber, unless you want a more narcotic couch-lock effect then harvest when more amber.
