Flowering 💐 1st grow/1st harvest

Your estimate of about 2 weeks looks completely spot on for this White Widow. The buds are packing on great density but still show quite a few white pistils pushing out. Since your trichomes are already 60-70% cloudy, those remaining clear ones will mature quickly over the next fortnight. Start your final flush now with plain pH-regulated water to let the plant consume its remaining stored nutrients. Keep monitoring the trichomes on the actual calyxes rather than the sugar leaves to time the perfect harvest window.

PharmaZanswered grow question 1d ago I’d leave them another 2 weeks, still a lot of white hairs. You start letting dry out in the pot/ground between waterings the longer it takes to dry the closer you are to harvest. You can trigger that by reducing the amount you water, the frequency and by removing nutrients if you used any. I also let them dry out in the pot/soil before I harvest to improve the dry and cure process. Harvesting then 1 day after watering is a no no for me

You need a magnifying glass, a magnifying scope or like a jeweler’s Loop you wanna look at the trichrome depends on your affect you are looking for cloudy is done. Brown is sedative. Clear needs time. He can’t tell from a photo like this unless you have a real macro lens.

Yes, 10-14 days for peak THC levels.

Not all plants follow the same path.. some seem to hit the gas pedal at teh end and others take longer from seemingly the same point. I see a lot of long white hairs - this means the calyxes haven't fully fattened up. You probably have at least 2 weeks. To reduce anxiety.. harvest is a reaction to observations... it's not a decision. The plant makes the choice for you. You may not have familiarity, but you'll gain it soon enough. Scoping trichomes ia great, but not an infallible method on its own. The good thng is mistakes around a normal harvest window are not a catstrophe. You may find you prefer early-middle-late but nothing will be devastatingly ruined learning what your preferences are. Watch those calyxes fatten up... when they seem to stay the same day-to-day start scoping the trichomes. Not all plants amber up in the same way... you may need other visual cues to help in those situations. my method, not saying it's what you should do but may give ideas on how to approach it in more than 1 way. I hate over-ripened flavored buds. I kept running into that with plants that didn't amber up in the same timeframe as most plants. Nowadays, once the plant looks fully ripened and by the human eye unchanging day-to-day, i put a time limit on how long i will wait to see X-percent amber trichomes. whichever comes first... either ~7 days or when i see the amount of amber i typically expect.
