new grower and need to know when to harvest

[tigermom70]

I'm a new grower and was given 2 clones about 6 weeks apart. 1 has buds that have been on there a few weeks now. The leaves are starting to turn up and I don't want to miss the proper time to harvest. Any suggestions on this? The 2nd plant has a lot of yellow leaves on it but the ph level and the ppm are in range. This is a HYDRO setup in a closet. Need suggestions please.

Hey tigermom70 and welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are looking the the magic question which I’m betting ha s been asked here 100 or more times. There are ways to make a very easy objective choice and depending on your level of involvement. Some go high tech and use computer or phone attached usb microscopes from$20 -40.00 that can give you an extreme look into the miniature world of plant anatomy some use jewelers loupes for $6-30.00 that get you a view of the key components of trichome maturities. Others use a good look at the plants pistils, those white hairs on a female plant that will start to turn brownish-orange and wait 3 weeks or so after that..( not as defining)

depending on your level of experience ( and we all start somewhere). Look around the web site and start here https://www.growweedeasy.com/basics. Scroll down towards the end where a full description of trichome development is described.
