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

Determining Trichome Readiness: Advice on Equipment or Techniques
I absolutely suck at harvesting and using the mini 🔬to determine trichome readiness. I don't have a steady hand, and it takes me forever to see if it's clear, milky, or amber. I see a lot of people on here with some ridiculously amazing up close photos of even their trichomes.

Did this auto stall out?
plants are Autos, planted same date, feeding off same reservoir. The two are maybe 7-10 days to finish. The one in question looks like it stalled out and never mde it to flower, no bud development at all. Do I give up on her? Feels like waste nutes/power at this point

Just stunted? Or will I lose whole grow?
5 weeks into flower, 3 to go. Autoflower grown in soil. Kept in outside shed, with 400w HPS and electric heater. Struggling to keep temps up above 10°c. It's not killing it, but perhaps stunting growth. A hardy strain. Will it still convert THC or am I risking losing whole plant?

Yield
This is my first grow. My hand is in the picture for size reference. I believe it is starting to flower. This grow is being done in a trashcan and is a micro grow. Does anyone have any idea what kind of yield I will get? Or if there is anything i can do to maximize the yield?

Are these nanners developing?
Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.

Should I invest in a stronger lense clip for my cell phone or are these photos clear enough to judge harvest time?

Popcorn buds

Preflower at 5weeks?
Didn’t think this was anything at first but her showing that’s she female (3 other strains show the same without the long white pistils). I’m wondering is she preflowering? If you check my diary for any other info:fox farm soil, outside, 13hrs sun, etc. hope it’s not an auto.
