those are the trichomes you are seeing on your leaves. THC production is peek when your trichomes are mostly cloudy.

Did anyone notice, since my last post my plant is looking alot paler ? is it missing nutricion or getting too much heat or direct sunlight ? And how long until it's ready for harvest ?
they are just starting they will get much bigger. my big mistake on my first grow is I cut them when they looked like that. great job, I'll be trying autos for sure.
you need a small scope to look at the tricomes. when they start to turn amber ,its time. are you feeding them?

you need a 30x jewelers loop to see the trichomes and judge when to harvest. most people harvest between 5%-30% amber trichomes. harvest at 5%-15% amber trichomes for a "head high" energetic effect and harvest at 30%-50% amber trichomes for a "body stone" sedative effect strain dependent.

unfortunately I haven't been able to lay my hands on food for my plants yet. Maybe in my grow version 1.5 I will add nutrients.

My plant is really dying I'm afraid, leaves are getting paler and paler, should i harvest ?
your cannabis plant is using up the nutrients in the fan leaves for bud production, this is normal during flowering. do you have a 30x magnifier you can use to look at the buds and see the colour of the trichomes? you are probably close to harvest for your cannabis plant. you should add your grow journal to your signature so it is easy for other members to find. to add your grow journal to your signature, go to top right, Settings>Settings, left hand side, My Settings>Edit Signature, copy the web address from the first page of your grow journal and paste it into the open window.

Last few shots before possible harvest, what do you reckon ?
They say to harvest when 50 to 80% of pistels has turned orange. Do you think it's time ?

I see a small amount of foxtailing on some of your buds, i believe you can harvest now.

Great job! Let me know if you start another journal, I am new too, so I would like to follow. I used a CRF (controlled released fertilizer) or maybe it is timmed, I am not sure. It is called Dynamite Red. It seems to be working very well for me in Fox Farms Ocean Forrest soil, I also use worm castings and worm juice which collects at the bottom of my wormbin. I hope this helps!
congratulations on your harvest!

Recently dried a small batch by leaving it out in the air, just so I could taste a little. I must say it's pretty good, gives an energetic head high. Taste is a bit grassy with hints of lavender coming through.
Thank you to everyone who has replied and helped me out during my first time grow.
