Hi! I am at about 8 weeks of flowering, possibly closer to 9 weeks. The plant itself has been above ground for about 13 weeks.
I have a really hard time telling clear from cloudy/milky trichomes, despite using a loupe. The pistils kind of make it look done.
It has been an okay grow but not perfect. I broke the main stem, which thankfully healed, doing some very minimal LST too late in the cycle. It healed, thankfully, despite my terrible attempts at a splint (did not use my splint and healed in its own way instead). I think there seems to have been a calcium (or magnesium? both?) deficiency, which is where the red and yellow spots on the leaves came from. I'm not sure if that was from not enough cal-mag, the light being too close, not enough water... all of the above or a mixture of the above... I have another plant that started to show that but maybe stopped (I hope). The rest are not showing it at all.
Thanks for ANY help you can provide. While this was for night time use specifically, until the rest of the plants in the tent are done, it might be my only supply for a few weeks. Either way, my goal is as many milky/cloudy trichomes as possible, some amber, as few clear as possible.
Typically, I know a plant is done when it has accumulated enough dust and cat hair. I need to figure out how to get pantyhose or something on my fans. I have fans but no ducting, and I do not want or need a filter... I do want to keep dust and cat hair out if I can.
If it matters, I am putting a 2x4 tent together today (the five plants are really crammed into this 2.3'x2.3'). So it was 2.3'x2.3', 150w mars hydro, Nature's living soil super soil w/happy frog and worm poop. (On Monday, it will be 2x4 tent with 300w Mars Hydro SP 3000.) I use an organic liquid cal-mag, organic liquid kelp, and TNB pH UP. R/O water since my tap water kills plants with huge amounts of TDS.

to afn! 
i grew an auto gelato from fs outside las summer & it was me quickest plant yet at 70d drop-to-chop 
i don't need or uze a filter either, and hey, dust & cat hair are a fact of life, no matter how old the plantz are, lol 
in other wordz, accumulated dust & cat hair are def not signz of a plant being done, not by a long shot, lol 
plain & simple -> it'z all about the trichz! 
when in doubt, jus adhere to the ol' grower'z mantra of -> when u think they're done, wait another week 
great commune here & anything u need, jus give a holler
