New Grower My first auto grow (MI5)

[Slartibartfast]

I just picked one sugar leaf from a bud and put it under the microscope. The trichomes are about 50% cloudy. These are about 4 weeks from harvest isn't that a little too soon? And will trimming the fan leafs stress the plant too much at this point in it's lifecycle?

from your pictures you got a long way to go (30 days) , start feeding them bloom food..I trim every leaf that blocks a bud site and all the ones at the bottom of the plant several times throughout my grows as they get bigger it's handfulls of leaves I remove (almost every two weeks)

Thank you for the info ... I was concerned at the amount of the trichomes that are cloudy ... I figured there is about 30 days to go ... two of these MI5 are the short bushy types and light can't get in unless leafs are trimmed ... I have been tucking but really need to cut some off ... I just did not expect to see that much cloudy
