These girls have been in flower for 55 days. Not able to look at trics so going solely off of looks.. just wondering how much long everyone thinks these girls hav . Genetics are unknown.

Pics could be closer but you have lots of fresh white pistils so you have a way to go.

Can you get a cheap magnifier or borrow one? It's a small investment that will pay large dividends. Why not make sure you wrap this grow up properly?

From your pictures, you are nearing the end of rapid flower formation. That will continue for another couple weeks.. the buds will get fatter, then start ripening for another couple. 3-4 weeks til harvest window?

Looks like to me a couple more weeks might do it. You'll just have to keep an eye on them. The pistols will recede into the calyx and the calyx will swell. I don't check trichs much. When you've been growing awhile you will recognize that "ripe" look, but for now a scope might help. Nice looking plants!

You've got quite a while. I really believe that one of the mandatory pieces of equipment needed if a person is going to grow is a pocket microscope. You can get a little 60x one on eBay for like $5. It's a no brainer and you don't have to ask anyone. You've got time to get one before those are done.

Been using a couple versions of those cheap microscope for 15 years and they are a requirement here for checking trichs.

I got a macro lens for my phone. This is the best I can do for now

Ten day's or so and they should be finished in my opinion
I haven't scoped a trich in age's, as mentioned by @cindysid before, you really just have to look at the pistils and the leaves to know when the plant is done.
When the hairs are .75 amber, the plant is finished.
Remember that once you cut, the plant will continue to mature and develop so waiting until all the hairs are brown is not a good idea.
Nice looking bud, congrats on a good grow
Oh, also lose the foil behind your grow, it really won't help that much because with all the crinkles to will hardly reflect light.
Just paint the wall white, that will work much better.

Lots of clear in those shots. Trichs on sugar leaves often go amber before those on calyxes do. I disregard leaves and scope calyxes only.

Had to cut the girls ealy due to one of them throwing nanners and need some for the holiday next week. Girls were in flower for 60 days. About 50-75% of the hairs were orange. Leaves were yellowing and curling. Hoping that the buzz will be decent. Yielded 11oz wet from 3 plants. Fingers crossed for about 3-4oz dry.

Definitely would have been a longer lasting buzz if you had waited, but I understand your impatience as a newbie. Most of us have done the same. Patience will come with experience.

Congrats on the harvest. It definitely needed another 2-3 weeks to be in its prime, but will still be some good smoke hopefully!
