20150809_132658.jpg So my plants have been flowering for about 4 to 5 weeks and some of them are almost all red and curled in I do not have anything powerful enough to see the tricoms clearly and I'm not entirely sure how much time they need until it is time to harvest, can I pick the ones that look like they are almost finished? I'm just curious a lot of the others are still white.20150809_132658.jpg any help would be great.

sorry but those do not look even close to ready....4 to 5 weeks flowering is likely only about half way there

post a pic on the entire plant next time

So my next question is is it normal for the lower flowers to look like that this early on and if not what do I need to do. Obviously I have never done this before and I'm just looking for some advice. They are being grown outside in a greenhouse.

do yourself a favor and get a pocket scope or a jewelers loupe. not just for checking trichomes but also for bugs/mites too.

your plant looks normal for 4-5 weeks of flowering, except i do see a few burnt tips but nothing too serious, be careful not to overload the nutes

If you can control yourself, don't cut any buds off your plants until the end. You will end up with 3-4 times as much. Your plants look to be 3-4 weeks into flowering. They have just started. One of the biggest mistakes new growers make is cutting to early. I did it my 1st time growing, and after seeing plants all the way to the end, I never made that mistake again. Its a huge differents. If your into week 5 flowering. You still have about 7 more weeks of flowering, give or take a week. Good luck, be strong.

Don't worry I will not!
 
I would strongly suggest going to local grow supply store an picking up a pocket mag they aren't very expensive I know at my local htg I paid like 13 bucks for mine

They look a bit lanky. It is not too late to add suplimental lighting. Bend over the tall one (LST) and get what ever light you can right down in their face.
