It has only been flowering for 3-4 weeks now............so not even half way............you still have 4-5 weeks to go at least..........plenty of time for trichomes to develop still!

Wait a couple of weeks, untill all the white hairs become orange. When that happens, only water for a week, so the trichomes can develop a bit further. Its worth the wait, it will knock you out

definitely way too early... order a 30-60x scope of any sort.. glass lense is better. currency checker, jeweler's loupe etc... there are cheap options. They often fib a bit on the magnification so check out the comment section if shopping on an amazon-like outliet to verify it's enough... usually 1-2 pot growers in the comment section of such products, lol. Don't need to scop trichomes on calyxes (not leaveS) until the calyxes have fully fattened. don't stress yourself before that point... just make it a reaction to things you can observe and that shouldn't involve anxiety at all... if new, testing out early-to-late harvest window is probably wise to learn what you prefer. It may take a few harvests before you know exactly what you prefer.

hello, the plant is just entering the bulk phase, if you give it some good fresh nutrients now, like with a compost tea or a topdress, you can still get a decent yield. the plant looks healthy overall.

Hold up, you haven’t failed. Looking at your buds, they’re still early-mid flower. Lots of white pistils, small buds, and barely any trichomes that’s totally normal at this stage. You’re maybe 3–4 weeks away from ready, not close to harvest. Here’s the thing: I get the frustration. Sometimes grows feel slow or you think something’s wrong. But harvesting early when there’s almost no trichomes means you’re leaving yield and potency on the table. The buds will double or triple in size if you give them time. Don’t harvest yet. Give it another 3–4 weeks minimum. Keep doing what you’re doing don’t stress the plant, water/feed normally, and let the buds develop. In 2–3 weeks, you’ll see trichomes getting cloudy, and that’s when you start thinking about harvest. The plant looks healthy. The buds are just young. This is normal. You’re not failingyou’re just in the waiting game, which sucks but it’s part of growing. Stick with it. It’ll be worth it when you see those buds actually finish.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hi, You should wait until the pistils turn amber color at least the half of it. The plant has not ripened yet.

Uooooou, dude, hold on with the scissors, it still has at least 3 weeks left, if not 4. My advice is to keep giving it fattening and flavor fertilizer for another week or 2 and then just water it for 1 or 2 weeks at most. And don't rush it, let the fruit develop properly and enjoy the process, good vibes!

Yo Growmie! Don't give up yet, you definitely haven't failed! Looking at your photos, your plant is still in the early-to-mid stages of flowering. Those white hairs (pistils) are standing straight up, which means the buds are still actively growing and haven't even begun to swell or ripen yet. Trichomes usually start to really frost up in the final weeks, so harvesting now would leave you with very little potency and weight. Give it at least another 4 to 5 weeks and you'll see a massive difference as the plant focuses all its energy on resin production and bud density. Just keep your pH in check and stay patient, the best part is still to come! Happy Growing Growmie🌱

You are right on schedule! Your plant has good form, with multiple bud sites all pushing white pistils. She has 3-4 weeks, depending on your light and feeding schedule. Don't overdue it, except with the patience required with our beloved plants. Disregard the time frame you had expected from reading the seed supplier's propaganda. That is for professionally grown plants in ideal conditions. This is a great chance to watch and learn how to read this particular strain, in the event you try this again. She will get where you want her to be with time. Good luck growmie!

hi.... it's not your fault, Growmie........it just takes a bit longer ......more pistils and trichomes will develop ....... Just patience ..... I would wait until 20% of the trichomes are amber and the rest are milky. 😎 I would check daily and harvest at the right time.... Good luck! 😉

Hey, your plant is healthy! For now, you haven't missed anything. Some plants take time. Looking at the photos, you're just at the beginning of your flowering.
