Seeing a lot of dead leaves which could just be a result of it being my first grow and still learning.

There has been some rain in my area recently but that always came with some pretty strong winds so i assumed that would’ve blown off all the water

I would say it looks like it. If 80% of the white hairs have turned brown then your basically there.
Slightly concerned with the brown dead leaves. That can be a sign of bud rot. Has it been hot and humid in your area.

I don't know, growmie, I'm seeing a lot of clear heads still.
But, ultimately, it's your decision. If you think it's done, happy harvesting!

Yellow leavesmy little GG2 is starting to lose many leaves (they turn yellow and fall even before drying) while the other is not having any problems (the only difference between the two is the "aggressiveness" used in the LST)
it could be due to the flushing done (but less than 5 days ago) 🤔5y ago

Ready but plant I'm not sure isMy question is how quickly does a auto flower go from white tricomes to amber. The breeder recommends 8 weeks of flowering which I have. What I find is just a couple maybe 4 amber but mostly white. Would love both effects so that's why my question. Should I check more oftenWeek 12

What do you think?What do you guys think? It’s the middle of week 7 flower. GSC extreme by ILGM. 80/20 heavy indica hybrid. All trichomes appear to be milky and some starting amber hues. Only thing that’s throwing me off are those white pistols? Good to chop? Been flushing for 1 1/2 weeks now.Buds. Other

How much longer do you think she needs before harvest?Checking trichomes and they look mostly milky with some still clear. I prefer a more uplifting, cerebral effect rather than a heavy one. Based on the pics, how much longer do you think she might need before harvest? Curious to hear your thoughts!Week 9

How close to harvest? TrichomesGrowing 2 strains. GSC(1st pic) is much smaller and less dense buds, but trichomes look mostly amber. Is this good time to harvest the GSC? Also the Motorbreath(2nd pic) is less amber, is it too early to harvest? ThanksBuds. Other
