You are actually starting to flower just on schedule. Nothing is out of the ordinary. Have patience.

No diary = information. Some strains are slow at the beginning of flower - there's not much you can do about genetics. Good luck

No Trichome Development
Every single plant I've grown before this were either frosty by now or sticky as hell! Its coming off as a surprise to me that my two plants are not having any trichome development, so far at least. Any ideas?

Viparspectra p1500 flower?
Anyone use a viparspectra p1500 during flowering? Got this as a cheap intro led and I feel like the plants stay in cottonball phase of flower...brought one outside and now its loaded with buds. Idk if this one has slow genetics or if the light isnt delivering correct spectrum

How much longer do you think?
PE leaves are losing color at this point, she’s getting closer. Not sure how much longer to let this one go. Day 57. Online recommended harvest date says day 55-65. Trichomes appear mostly cloudy to me already but she’s shooting new white pistils daily. Thoughts on 10-14 days?

Paler buds
I have quite a lot of paler buds that were hidden under the leaves from the light, I've pictured a couple. Are these OK?

When to harvest
Any estimate or guess on when she’ll be done? Her pistils have been turning very amber this week. I’m trying to get a good trichome shot, but it’s not easy... I know she has some way still, since I don’t really see any amber trichomes yet.

Estimate yield?
Fancy estimating yield size? Appreciate that it would be a wild guess... But it's my first grow and my impatience is killing me!!! 😂 For me to guess yield size is second best to sampling... And we all know one shouldn't sample haha

Does a re-veg harvest quicker on her 2nd flower?
For anyone that has re-veged and re-flowered a plant, Did you notice a quicker harvest? Originally chopped at 56 days to keep green for re-veg.(early I thought) This one seems about 10 days faster on her maturation.

Yellow sugar leaves
I am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary

Are my top buds ready for harvesting
I have been growing my royal dwarf for over 8 weeks now. The trichomes on the top buds all look cloudy (no amber's yet) and I was wondering whether I could cut the top 4-5 buds? A lot of the pistils are still white but none of the trichomes are clear. Is it too early?

But trichomes look milky and a lil amber to me
So consensus is another three weeks or so and I appreciate all of the feedback but buds look milky and a little amber to me. I’m including a better picture in case anyone has any different advice. Otherwise I trust you all to wait. Thanks!
