Its after lunch here so not too early. lol
On the weed, it can wait. Looks like a sativa version they can go 70-80 days.
Looks good you're doing mighty fine.

Thanks. I kind of knew that. It’s just nice To have actual confirmation that I’m headed in the right direction. I can research till I’m blue in the face which I have been, but opinions from real people matter also.
Can wait it out until the fan leaves start to fade to yellow thats a sign that they are starting to get close.
You can look at the trichome color for cloudy and or amber.
also look at the shape of the calyx - the part of the flower that the little white hairs come out of. They should be getting round and fat, then the color of the pistols (hairs) changes to orange brown. After that happens the calyx will begin to shrink. You wanna harvest before that happens. (the shrinking part).

Excellent advice. Trichomes are just now starting to get milky.
Keep an eye out you getting close. Depending on the effect you like is when you wanna harvest.
Milky cloudy with some clear will be more of a racy daytime buzz, the longer you wait until you see some amber then it will be more mellow and not as racy. Personal choice there.

You really need a loupe at this point.
Mine look about the same. Just noticed the amber starting to come in, but wouldn’t have noticed without the loupe. You n really see them at x60.
I started leaving them in the dark 72 hours before the chop. For my last plant it really made a difference.

Ahhh if I only had a loupe. Can’t get one. I’m flushing now, and takin close ups daily. Hopefully they’ll be great! I got jars and good shears. Now I need a little more patience.
What does 72 hours of dark get us?
What are we flushing?

$10-$15 on Amazon will get you there with a loupe. You can try zooming in with your phone, but it won't get to the level a loupe will.

Just watering. Haven’t added anything at least a month. And what does darkness get us? Do you have some insight?

or any gem/jewlery supply store will have them.
most loupes are pretty low power tho.
Lotsa insight on flushing is a waste of time in soil. Just water to run off every other day down the stretch you will be good.
Light deprivation = I'm not sure, for a plant that uses light to make energy I'm not sure what depriving the plant of light does right before harvest?? Cant say anything that I know of.
This ^^^ sage advice.
I usually pace back n forth in the flower room with loppers in hand, then slowly step back away from the flowers.
