How'd I do? Am I done?

[Tumbleweed]

My first grow, two Amnesia Haze ladies started on Dec. 1. I'm now 9 weeks in to flower. The bud pics were from 1 week ago, plant pic from last night. I think I did pretty good for my first grow. Any guesses on what kind of dried weight I probably have? Does this seem like an average size harvest or is it just 'good for a first grow'? Hell, is it even good for a first grow? I have no clue.

EDIT: There's more bud on the left lady (Mary) than is looks in the picture. The buds are tall enough and heavy enough they started falling over a few weeks ago. But, I didn't want to drive a stake through the root ball this late into flower. So I kind of tied a piece of yarn around it so the branches would support each other some. But they're falling over and hiding many buds from the camera. Jane (on the right) was a slow grower and didn't stretch half as much as Mary. Hence the box and no yarn.

I can't get a good trichome pic, but I have checked them out with a microscope. Half a dozen amber trichs on the leaves around the buds, but all white on the buds themselves. So I'm thinking I'll harvest next weekend. Does that sound about right? I would like to error on the 'speedy' side vs couch lock.

I’m the type who will harvest when all the trichomes are are milky. I like that high. Maybe when the first pair of amber trichomes is starting to show on bud I make the cut.
you can easily go 1-2 week more in my opinion and get some more weight on it.

If the plant starts showing yellow leaves all over then she's good to go. The yellowing is a sign that the plant is using up the last bits of Nitrogen which is expected. Your plants don't appear to be doing that just yet. Give it a week or so, just stop feeding them and just use plain PH'd water.

Those are some heavy colas and don't look like they are ready to harvest. You sure don't want the branches laying on eachother weight on the buds pressing together not good. But nice big plant for sure i'm growing the auto version right now.

Still a bit too early. Like @captainwiesel91 said, it could easily go another week but looking at the trichs is a better indicator to match what you’re looking for. Those buds will fatten up a bit more if you can give her more time.

[PLreef]

I agree with the others. Give em another week or two. They'll fatten up some while you wait.

[Catfish22]

I have a trich question if I may, do they begin to get cloudy on the bud or the leaves first?

[YYCannabis]

Leaves will usually turn first.

[Tumbleweed]

Thanks everyone. I'll give them some more time. No rush here, just don't want to go past prime.

Tumbleweed , nothing shabby at all about that first grow! Well done! I'm four weeks behind you so hoping for at least as much fattening as you have by that time. I'm wanting to harvest sequentially so I can try early milky, cloudy and amber to decide which I like best. Homegrows rock! No more guessing about when and how the dispo growers processed so you can find exactly what is best for you at what stage and also have a variety of effect to suit your mood. Best hobby ever!

Lol dude, i love how in the first 2 pics of "how'd i do on my 1st grow" that's it's a small close-up bud top and it's all like, yeah that's looking ok, and then suddenly in the 3rd pic it's BOOM!!, here's about a million massive colas all falling over from their own weight of being so freaking chunked out!!! Lol was brilliant to see cheers dude!

And I'd only add that i think you're gonna be very happy once that's all ready to smoke!! Great work indeed!!

Great grow. Like other folks have said more yellowing of the leaves before I'd harvest. Some molasses water wouldn't hurt.

I think you would love some plant yoyos for those heavy, droopy buds
