First Grow Post Mortem - Help needed, trichomes and fade

[cannabiscreep]

Hi everyone,

I harvested my first grow about a week ago.

I feel like I did a good job watching the flowers and trichomes ripen and cut it down when I thought it was ready, but since then I have been looking at a lot of other grows and I have a couple of questions.

FADE: How do I know if my plants fade is from being ready to harvest or just running out of nutrients? I see some buds that people say are ready to chop and they have all green leaves.


Is this plant near harvest or slowly dying?

This is the other plant, same strain, planted at the same time and fed and watered from the same bucket (I mixed enough water and nutrients for all three plants).
The other two plants: ( looks totally Different). I also rotated thier postion in the tent about once a week, and rotated them a bit each day.

Flowers looked ready to harvest, and here are the trichomes:

Did I do it right? Do I need to feed more closer to the end of flower or just keep doing what I was doing? No food for the last two weeks and clean PHd water.

Thanks for reading.
