How's it look, first grow!


Hey everyone, first grow is wrapping up but I'm having issues on when to harvest. A lot of the leaves are starting to die off and I'm having a tough time figuring out trichromes on my shitty loupe. Definitely going to invest in a microscope for the next one, but what do you guys think? I'm seeing at least mostly cloudy with even some amber in the plant, that I know for sure.

Your leaf issues appear to be ph issues in your soil. But from what I can see look like you could harvest. As for your loupe you said you wanted to get a microscope. Honestly I went the other way around. The microscopes are too precise it's much easier with a loupe 30x-60x

Signs that the plant is nearing harvest:

Pistils darken and recede
Calyx swell and appear ready to burst
Bud looks like it has been dusted in sand

.
So should be good to go then

Yeah I've had a lot of ph issues on my first round. I tried to go with an all in one water only and didn't have great luck with it, going with a more traditional route on my current grows. Mine is just SO unsteady, really difficult to get a good luck everywhere. Glad to hear it though, pulled a smaller branch off to dry for now and will chop the whole girl one week from today. Thank you!
