Not the best pictures. Not sure what's going on with my phone.
Harvest week according to GC timeline is first week of sept. Should I stick with that? that one in the front looks like it has slowed way down. The big one in the back is showing Nitrogen defs, I think my ph is too low. Run off was in 5.6 range so I'm gonna water it with 7PH again to try and get it up.

How much time just by looking at it, would you say until harvest? I need some feedback please. Long time listener, first time caller.

I would let it go some.

I believe you are judging based on leaf trichromes rather than pistil trichromes. Those pistals will turn orange in time.

My CP looked like this:

Is that dried and cured or right off the harvest?

Thats dried, not cured.

This is as cut.

Just by judging the pistils and size id say a good 3-4 weeks. I wait for 80-90% of the pistils to recede into the buds and then i start checking trichomes. I say 80-90% because youll have some genetics throw pistils LATE into flower and they just wont turn orange by harvest time. Everyone is different though! Just my opinions. Look great though awesome job!

So I ended up doing some research from seed to harvest and a lot of people harvest at 10 weeks total time? like wtf? most wait until 12 weeks.
Sunday was end of week 12 (day 144 from seed).
Anyways I harvested the middle one that honestly looked the most mature. Lots of red hairs, Got 1 LB 1.7 OZ we trimmed weight.
So should have a good 1/4 pounder from the first girl alone once shes dry in a few days. I'll snap some pictures. I was just up half the night trying to get it trimmed and hung before it finished drying lol.
I ground a little up that I dried from a week ago that I trimmed off. It was part of a main cola and some smaller junk.
Really really good stuff. For my first grow, I am super happy.
All in all I'm hoping to get 3/4 lb from all three.
This was the middle sized one actually and seemed to mature the fastest.
Is this common even among sister plants? Some mature faster than others by a week or two?
One of them is long and lengthy while the other one is tall and thick. Is this common?
I'll probably throw the first batch in cure sunday or monday.
Lastly, it is super satisfying to smoke your own stuff after you've spent the last 144 days of gently fondling her.

Edit: got my fat ass up and took some pictures.
thoughts, questions, comments, concerns, boob pictures?

Well I have to say, it is better than ANYTHING I can get around here. Clean relaxing strong high with a little face melty going on. Plus it lasts a SHIT TON longer. This is just dried 3 days, so I actually put one ounce in to cure with a packet, 2-3 ounces water curing, I wanted to try it. Have 3/4 to get me by for a while until this stuff is nice and cured.
So it is not harsh at all, like most of the crap around here. Definitely worth the wait.
Going to harvest the string bean tonight I think, then let the dwarf/big bertha roll on for a few weeks to see what happens.
The first one to germinate, we thought was going to be a dwarf, then all of a sudden it shot up and is bigger and stouter than the other two. Definitely going to grow this one again.
12 weeks from seed to flower, and some of the best tasting bud/high I've ever had.
Today is 13 weeks.
I am cultivar, hear me plow!

them blossoms are looking pretty damn fine to me. nice, firm, and juicy, just like I like em.
Any advice on if I should harvest this one. I know opinions vary GREATLY, just want some feedback from more experienced growers.
my internet is going the speed of an old man slipping into a warm salt bath this morning.
help me smokey juan kenobi, you're my only hope.
Today is week the start of week 14.
day 151
