Can't tell by those pics, you need more magnification. You are looking for 10-20% amber trichomes on the buds. happy growing.

Are the buds drying?She has 380W light and a strong inline fan. I suspect I have been giving too little water (750ml) a day.
Do you think itβs better to up to a higher amount and then wait or already harvest this part?
She seems to be developing new pistils on top. I will also remove one lamp (190wBuds. Other

My harvested weed smells amazing, but tastes horrible. I'd say a bad chemical-like after taste. I thought it was due to poor flushing, but I flushed the 2nd plant for over 2 weeks and the 1st plant for 1 week. Not sure what caused this... Overfertilization? Something else?Week 15

Curing- and wondering when buds will smell like buds againSo this is my first cure- I dried 1 plant so far. The room went from smelling like bud to hay. I understand this is normal. I am on day 2 of curing. When does the bud start to smell like real pot again? Miss that smell?Buds. Other

Almost a musty smell.This past week we got a lot of rain, RH shot up to 80% now the main cola smells almost like must or wet towels. No sign of bud rot or mold. Dehumidifier is in the room now, just curious if the smell is normal for this stage of flower or if Im screwed. Hopefully its fixable.Week 8

Harvest time indicatorDo you use indicators other than trichomes for harvest time? I'm aware of different ratios of clear/cloudy/amber depending on various locations. Curious about any other indicators you've noticed over the years? Thanks for sharing!π»Week 12
