This was my very first cannabis grow ever, so I have no comparison. This auto strain (freebee seed that came with the order of a photo strain) seems quite robust to me. It took many of my newbee mistakes with grace and given the circumstances and stresses, it delivered a satisfying harvest without herming. I had no issues with pests at any point either. I tested a small sample with vaping (since I do not smoke) and taste and effect were already very nice and smooth without curing. Smoke report will follow in a few weeks. As a beginner, it was interesting to grow an auto in fast mode. I will stick to photoperiodic strains however in the future since they allow for much more control indoors.

How do the trichomes look to you? I have a hard time telling if they are mostly clear or cloudy. This plant has lost quite a bit of leaf material due to deficiencies in the last weeks, therefore I am not sure if I should harvest earlier instead of in 2 weeks.

They are clouding but not cloudy yet. Probably another week to 2 weeks left.
