This is my first grow ever I made several mistakes on my "trial and error plant" which is Cali connection girl scout cookies. I am currently a few days away from week 7 of flower and my buds look more mature than their supposed to "I think" but not for sure. I don't have a microscope or anything to closely observe the trichs, but any input on how much longer this baby needs to flower? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm new to this site hopefully my pics will post on this thread

Plant is looking good.
I also agree, the conventional way of knowing when to harvest is to buy a magnifying glass and take a look at your trichomes. they will turn form clear to cloudy to red. you want to aim for the most amount of cloudy trichomes. buy one and post some pics. good luck

Also you can look at the pistils (white to amber), but not the best way of doing things. you wanna be precise.. a few days can change a lot at the end.

Nice grow man, well done.

I havent grown it but i dont think its done just yet.

Get on ebay and grab a (at least 60x) Loupe.

Those look nice for week 7 gsc. Good job, better than a lot of people do on their first grow by far. Looks super tasty, I'd say give it another 10 days with a flush and chop!

Thank you very much guys I really appreciate it very much. When you say flush do you mean just giving it plain ph'd water for the last week? Sorry for stupid questions but like I said I'm completely new to this. I almost got gunned down by a crazy guy at the old dealers house so I decided just to grow my own medicine

Loupe is the only way to tell when to harvest, it has fuck all to do with strain, mediums, lights...etc etc.

If that was my plant I would be checking once or twice a day for trichromes turning Amber. I check various sites on the plant as trichromes devolpe at different stages on the plant I.e the top kola usually is ready befor the rest of the plant.

Loupe x20 is a must

10-14 days for sure, and to flush or not to flush is that the question.
I flushed half my sssdh last harvest they all taste the same after a proper cure.
So I will flush only for the last feeding from now on then into darkness for 24 hrs. With a ice bath, then chop-chop
