First time grow and not to sure if it's time to pull soon or not. The trichomes look milky and a few amber and the pistols are about 50:50 white and brown but the fan leaves haven't even started dying. Would really appreciate others opinions :mrgreen:

Two weeks, I'm right at around the same stage as you. These plants still have white pistols coming out, check the tricombs with a loupe next week, should be turning cloudy. And lower/stop feeding nutes if you haven't already

Awesome thank you, I will be keeping an eye on the trichomes it's hard to tell if they are cloudy or clear but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm doing deep water culture would you still recommend backing off on the nutes? Looking online heaps are saying flushing is bro science and then equally as many people saying it makes a huge difference, I'm thinking lower the nutes then on the last 3 or 4 days top them up with only water

I went with ages to go because you have more than 2 weeks left and offered no time frame that fits the actual time left.

Also do not go off of trichomes.

Read up on what ripe bud actually looks like.

All pistils browned and fully receded into the bud, and swollen calyx are the ticket to proper chop.

I've been looking into what ripe buds look like and there seems to be many differing opinions from 10% amber trichomes to when the pistils are 50-70% brown, but all the buds that have gotten me the highest have been fully brown pistils, so I'm going to keep an eye on them and see what they look like in 2 weeks time. I hadn't heard of looking for swollen calyx so thank you now I know what to look out for :blsmoke:

Growing DWC and she's gone from drinking 4L+ a day down to 2.5L and all the white pistils are gone, trichomes still seem clear depending on the zoom. Thinking I should pull the plant now or do you reckon there is still some growth left in her cause only the main cola's have fat calyx the problem is I don't have any calmag but the big girl's showing a deficiency or maybe light burn not to sure?

You can always pull the mains and leave lowers to continue. Purty girls BTW.
