Yes I do actually. What should I do to determine whether the trichromes are ‘ripe’? Also, here’s a couple super-zoomed in shots taken with iPhone 13 Pro camera. Fairly detailed/good or… not good enough to tell? :)Hello and welcome. Do you have a jewelers loupe to look at the trichromes?
Trichomes change from clear, to cloudy, to amber. Try to check them on the buds, not the sugar leaves. I like very few clear and about 10% to 20% amber.What should I do to determine whether the trichromes are ‘ripe’?
Not much munching on them? Pretty healthy overall for the great outdoors? I’m fertilizing weekly for the Big Bud (higher nitrogen) since still quite vegetative, but feeding high phosphorus for the autos at this point given they’re flowering.What's eating them?

Definitely not quite enough full sun. 7 hours total. Beyond that it’s shaded by a huge canopy of 60 ft trees. I definitely think I’ll go with just photoperiod next time around, all considered. Good point regarding the heat and humidity and soil dry out time. Soil drainage is definitely good back there.Right on! We all have to start someplace! IMO autos are best grown in pots. At least until you know what you’re doing. Gives you more control over what is going on in the root zone! Remember that weed likes a pretty good wet dry cycle. You may be overwatering. Not allowing enough dry back. it’s going to take a long time for soil to dry out when it’s 95° and 70% humidity! Could be why the autos are not flourishing. How old are these plants? Do they get full sun all day? Good soil drainage? Just things you have to take into consideration for your environment. Keep hammering away at it!
I’d prefer to have at least 10 hours of direct sun, but we can’t have everything. I’m keeping it from prying eyes and it’s a really good spot away from neighbors and anybody just casually glancing back there. Great camouflage. Just needs a little bit more direct sun and it would be perfect. Big bud (see video) is doing really well and I think it’s going to vegetate for at least the next 6 weeks or so before I start seeing the first flowering emerge on her would be my guess. I only topped her once and it spread out nicely. Continually less light etc as we head toward Autumn here at that point (Sept) so flowering will start on that gal around then I figure.Definitely not quite enough full sun. 7 hours total.

To much fertilizer imhoNot much munching on them? Pretty healthy overall for the great outdoors? I’m fertilizing weekly for the Big Bud (higher nitrogen) since still quite vegetative, but feeding high phosphorus for the autos at this point given they’re flowering.
Here’s a video but let me know if quality no good. Haven’t posted here before so will YouTube if needed.
