Honestly, somebody gave it to me and I had no clue what I was doing and I just been watching it and taking the big leaves off. I forgot to replant it in a bigger pot and it’s been budding for about two weeks now.

And this is outdoors I’m assuming? It looks fine for the size it is, for what pot it’s in. Just stay on watering/feeding.

That plant has been flowering longer than 2 weeks !!! But anyway, do you have a loupe to check trichomes ??

 

[justme1012]

What is that loupe?? I am so a first timer lol

Depending where you are in the country, you should flower the plant for at least another 2-3 weeks.I would grab some cheap 2ft stakes from Home Depot to keep it upright, as these last few weeks will put on tons of weight. End of October is what most people push to. Then you will need to dry the plant. A humidity temp controlled tent is the easiest option for a single plant. You’d like temp and humidity to both be at 60 degrees. A portable a/c will do the trick. Then about 14 days of drying, quick trim and you can decide to cure it out in a jar, or start smoking it.

Jewellers loupe or you can use a portable microscope. Check those trics. my fav is mostly cloudy with 20% amber.

It’s a little magnifier called a jewelers loupe used for checking trichome appearance to determine the ripeness of the buds. Plant looks great !! I’d say you’re probably in the 5-6 th week of flower by the looks of it so more than likely a couple weeks at least to go. Depending on your phone you can take a pic as close as possible but still in focus and then zoom in on the pic to check trichomes

I agree, 2 or 3 more weeks. Also squeeze them buds and keep note of the hardness.

A jewelers loupe can help you check the trichomes or “crystals” on the bud not the leaves. Clear = not ready. milky = ready to go

Closer up?

There’s various charts like this to give you a idea of when to harvest depending on how you like your high
Personally I prefer a little bit of amber especially before I goto bed but it’s your choice not our preference

Imo I wouldn’t squeeze my buds as it knocks of trichs but each to there own
