New gorilla glue grower

Nice! You obviously have a lot more experience than myself. All your leaves are still green!

My first time growing as well. I felt more comfortable growing in coco coir than soil, plus I wanted to know what I was giving her during fertigation. This also forced me to learn how to setup my dosage of nutrients, learn about salinity buildup, and learn deficiencies and toxicity. Imop a lot more fun then planting in soil and watering, I wanted to “learn” how to be a grower. I’d recommend you to try growing in coco next time for the experience, it’s a zenful (is that even a word lol).

I did some quick research on the coco and I'm intrigued. I like that the coco can be reused versus purchasing new soil each new grow.
I had a very simple nute plan and learned to ph my tap water per my local grow facility. It appears I need to further my reading regarding salinity and toxicity and probably fine tune a nute schedule.
Very disappointed with the new microscope, even with two people, one to hold microscope and the other holding my very old net book it was very hard to get clear shot at 1000x, even tried a tripod.

I bought a microscope too and quickly learned that it was impossible to use while standing. I bought a loupe from formline on amazon that has led lights and is 40x 60x and it was a night and day difference.

I can see the purpose of the microscope should you have a pest infestation. Cut a leaf off and view it that way, but trichome viewing no way.

The scope I purchased was only $20, it is still a useful device, I think looking at coins is the primary job going forward

Lots of great info here on AFN! All pics in this post taken with iPhone, I have ordered a 40 x 1000 endoscope and hope to have better tricome pics forthcoming.
Seeds from Growers choice, planted three GG on 5-1-19, today is day 83. 4 x 4 x 6 grow tent, quantum LED light, Promix soil, ph'd tap water, Fox farms grow big for veg and tiger bloom and finally 18-6 light schedule.
I find it interesting that all 3 plants look different and develop in different stages.
The reason I'm posting is to determine when to harvest. I understand the tricomes are the best method to determine this.
The tallest gorilla is shedding fan leaves (yellow) very rapidly which makes me think it is nearing the end. The gorilla on right, in front has brown spots on leaves and was treated once with cal-mag but has the biggest and most dense colas of the three plants.
To summerize, all three plants appear to have different maturing dates, is this normal? Any advice judging from the poor pictures?

With autos i start checking trics when the white hairs are almost gone when leaves yellow start flushing after yellowing leaves you are about 1 week to finish always check trics for your precise liking.

Thanks Wutang, part of my problem is trying to get a good look at the trics. I have a led loupe and I purchased a 1000x scope but cannot hold it steady enough to determine what stage they are in!
Iv'e determined today, along with my relative, I will wait until I get back from a wedding which will be 8-5-19 then will harvest.
Today is 90F with high humidity, it's a real battle, water the plants then the dehumidifier removes it all and the tent temp is 85-90F! Surprised they are not stressed to the max.
Pics are the gorilla in question, I know the pic could be a lot better.
