Should grab a 30x or stronger Jewelers loop or pocket microscope and go by the trichomes. Hairs can be misleading.

I see what you mean one of your plants is kinda hairy, the other two have filled out more. Tie that broken branch up with string or something make shift if you don’t have any stores selling growing bits and pieces. From here I’d say they could do with at least another two weeks, plus your leaves are all still lush green which is good for you because I see you have been flushing already when they are currently still bulking up. You want your leaves to yellow off before you harvest that’s what the flushing is for to make the plant use up all the stored nutrients in the leaves to ensure a smooth taste when cured correctly. Search well flushed cannabis plant into google images you will get the idea. Good luck again. By the way they look fine as they are evan if you decided to harvest now it wouldn’t be a failure, just would be better to go longer without a doubt

thanks again Jimmy your really helping me out here ..as i said before my eyes are kinda bad but that doesnt stop me from reading , i made it this far with very little help and alot of reading but it is great when you need help that you have people like you and Gentlemencorps here to help ....now comes the fun part as you notice the plants seem to be in differents stages of growth so i took yours advice and applied it and i took Gentlemencorps advice and purchase a pocket microscope and low and behold ALL 3 of the plants are roughly in the same stage (99 to 100) Trichomes are milky white on all 3 plants ..so i would guess the hair method is a really rough method ..what i am reading or have read is the milky white Trichomes is the high and if you let the plant go the Trichomes turn amber/yellow and you will get the couchlock and body relaxation...._is there certain percentage of Trichomes turning amber ?????the the internet seems to be all over the place with the percentage ..(not in it for the high as much as pain relief .im leaving the plants go for another 6 to 7 days (week 7 )and will reevaluate ...really want to thank all you guys for helping and will get back to you in 7 days ..thanks again

When I have harvested early in the past I can definitely feel the difference in the effect, if but your looking for pain relief then it’s a lot easier to achieve you just leave them longer and allow the trichomes to turn brown in bulk, to achieve that racy high means harvesting at a more specific time as the smallest amount of trichomes turn brown or even before.
I wouldn’t worry about the trichome thing too much, for a first grow it’s more important you start thinking about your drying and curing process before it s right on you, if you haven’t researched yet get searching tempertures humidity airflow etc, especially if you might need to order in some bits and pieces, you are going to need to create a whole different environment suited to drying process if you want the best end result, and this is where most new growers go wrong I know I have messed up this part a few times before

thanks again ...i will start reading tonite ..this wasn't a 2 week project for me so it would be a shame to screw up now..i have been reading but what I have found with the internet , people seem to better everything that is a norm , thanks again I know there is a lot of great advice on this site..thats why I joined..here a question that has me stumped..critical mass is a 1 to 1 thc to cbd ..so if I'm reading this right ( or wrong) at peak were the thc is the highest then the cbd is at the highest.. if not then the 1 to 1 ratio would be wrong..right?4
