If I pluck a bud off to start a quick dry and a taste test will that harm the plant on the overall health of the plant?

You can do it and the plant will not be harmed by that . Ps : many growers are doing that to try a weed before harvest

No it will not harm it. You may still taste the nutes in it and bear in mind you'll still have to dry it which will take 5-7 days and it won't have the cured flavour. šš±

Auto flower peak
Auto flower ripen peak question. I just saw a video where a couple who exclusively grew auto flowers regularly said mid 80s is the max number of days autos peak and they won't ripen more than that. Any truth to that? I ask bc I struggled to see amber trichs 90+ days on my Auto.

Trichomes color
Hey there! Iām a bit confused with the trichomes colors since itās my first grow and the first time looking at them. Is this the milky/white colour or still clear ? I did some research but they actually look pretty similar to me. I can even see some amber I guess?

The first grow isn't turning out well. Anyhow the buds are too heavy for the branches and one has already collapsed. Should I keep feeding the plant for the remaining buds and cut the bent branch.... or just flush->harvest, harvest all together? 10% of the tri's are amber.

Are these trichomes ready to harvest?
Am I ready to harvest? I am new at this so I bought a wifi scope to look at the trichomes, but to be hones it is still confusing but my plant is looking pretty sad so I wanted to see if sheās ready to harvest. Are these milky enough? Should I harvest just parts of the plant?

Does the round thing inside the red circle on image 6 look like a pollen sac? Should i be worried? It has hairs growing out of it, which is not really a male trait or is it?

Harvest window question- I got my microscope. What fun. But Iām still confused. Looks like I have some cloudy some amber and many clear trichomes. I just canāt tell if itās ready or not. Gut tells me to give her another week of flushing and then go for it. What do you all think?

Did I flower too long? is it time to chop?
Is it time to chop? I posted her on Reddit and people are like "you're way over, it's foxtailing and you need to chop ASAP!" As you can see there's still white pistils on the top most of the biggest colas. I also have scope photos of the trichomes in the diary.

How much longer?
I have 2 different phenos of auto AK. The one at the back (yellowing one) is much fatter. About 50% pistils curled, trichomes milky. How much longer do you reckon they will take? According to the breeder it would be 1-3 more weeks, I am planning to keep going for 2 weeks.

Watering with lower humidity in flower
6 weeks into flower of my 1st grow. Things are looking frosty. As I lower my humidity as I move along, should I increase my watering/feeding? Rt now itās about every 4 days. 5 gallon fabric pots with soil. Usually just over 1/2 gallon is all they want with some runoff
