First grow ever

[Frimpong]

Hey All,
So these pics are from the official 'Second Grow', I just haven't posted anything about them as my first grow isn't completed yet. But anyways I have four 3gal pots in a 2x2 with a cheap blurple light, I have a small fan in the tent and I ran the exhaust from my 3x3 into the 2x2. Now yesterday for some reason the humidity was raising into the 60's so I turned up the exhaust fan a little. I mention this because I'm thinking since it's only one plant that is doing this, it must be from the fan being on high.
So it looks like it's doing the twist, any ideas why?

I'd say it's most likely from the drastic change in humidity. It happens. Also sometimes when I spray the droplets under the light can mess new growth up a bit . I always try to shake em off if I can

I agree with @Frimpong, usually I see leaf twist like that because of humidity changes, though sometimes it's just genetics... not something I'd worry too much about

Today is day 50 of flower, I cut a couple lower branches that were hanging down since the trellis removal, one which was directly in the path of a fan. Anyways I tried getting a better look at the trichomes with the mini microscope I have, but it's still difficult for me to get a good look at them. In my inexperienced opinion, they look 90% white, some clearish and didn't see any amber. I feel like I saw somewhere that the trichomes mature faster at the top buds than the lower buds, and these being lower, I was thinking the tops might be about ready.
So my first thought for a plan is to wait till Friday and try to get another decent high res shot with my phone that I can zoom in on and see if they look ready. If I get a good shot and they don't look ready then wait another week, OR if I still can't tell or am indecisive I'll just chop. IDK, I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time. Excited for my first harvest, but also afraid to end up screwing up something and losing the harvest to mold or find out I should have waited another 2 weeks.
Anyway here are the branches I cut. P.S. My phone sucks.









Are those red balls little calyx's?

IMO i would go at least another 10 days and then reevaluate . Some strains will finish before 60 day mark but not many. You could consider a split harvest if your set up will allow. Take the top buds then wait another week for the lowers to finish. Down side of early harvest is a racy high parinoid shit like peeking out the windows looking for whatever . I know some will disagree but it always made me feel very uncomfortable. Would rather be on the nappy side

Was able to get a couple decent high res shots on my phone and cropped a few reasonable sized images out of the originals.
They look mostly white to me, what do your eyes say?

Agreed ?

 

[Gentlemancorpse]

Seconded... little early still

 

[Blackbeard]

Some more high res captures, I don't think they're done yet, but I WANT them to be ?
What say you?

If this was my grow i’d say give them two more weeks. At least one. Things are looking frosty!

@Blackbeard i think if you could go one more week that would put you in a good zone to harvest. That should put you a day or so past the 60 day mark. I have two different phenos of the CM i am close to chopping. This round will come down after 65 days first go round i harvested at 58 days and decided this round to take them a little longer. You are on auto pilot at this point they don't need much this close to the finish line.

Your first grow looks great @Blackbeard
Youre in the home stretch now my friend! Love the purple calyxes too. She may end pink like bubblegum on the inside like this....

Day 58 since flip. I asked them last night if they were almost ready, and I woke up today to a cola that wasn't yo-yo'd had super cropped itself as well as some lower branches super cropping themselves. They need water today, but I'm unsure what to do because I know the end is nigh and have read about people letting them completely dry out and give 24hr dark for last day. They have been getting water every other day and this time today is the 4th day and they are finally feeling light, so I'm wondering if they're telling me something.
EDIT: I moved my light up a little, I think thety were too close because I think I see foxtails on a few buds and that might explain the white pistils?

Sounds like they are slowing down on the water. Maybe one more good watering and then let them start to dry out some. @Blackbeard i have done all that dark period stuff and still do sometimes but i just don't think it makes much difference . The one thing i do still practice is when you do harvest do so right before lights come on. Make sure you put the shears behind your back so she does not see it coming . I remember it hurting my feelings a little on the first chop

LOL, wait was the part about just before lights come on to catch them sleeping so there's no struggle, or was that part serious?

The plants will drink once the lights come on. If you chop just before lights on, you catch them before they drink and the drying process can/will be expedited due to this little trick.
