First Ever Grow, Obviously
What medium are you in? I'd take a VERY small snip daily from the exact same area of the plant and look at the trichs. I'd be willing to bet a LOT that you are going to see a whole bunch of new ones start to pop up. Unlike the early bird ones these will COVER your leaves like mad and trip over each other to compete for space The ABSOLUTE earliest I'd think I'd see cloudy trichs is about Day 45.....and I'm being lenient unless its a strain KNOWN to finish quick like lowryder.

Funny story....ha ha
When I first started growing I asked my hydro guy how long they had to flower before they were ready. His EXACT words to me were...."you can pick them at six weeks but its better to wait until 8." Now.....here is what I heard "They'll be finished at six weeks"
I harvested my first two grows at five to six weeks. I had looked at trichs....they were cloudy and amber so it sure looked done to me. X-Crispi was the one that finally reined me in and made me wait a full eight weeks because mine were ALWAYS finished so early.....ahead of schedule no less.....quicker than even the breeder was saying. And I just couldn't seem to get over approx 2 oz's a plant and couldn't figure out why.
Well....here's why. You are looking at the early trichs.....sort of like the preflowers. I can promise you that by weeks six you will be seeing an entire NEW field of clear baby trichs starting and you will be floored by how many there are.. Once I waited like I was told I actually DID find out what a finished plant looks like......and it includes some red pistils and some bulk to the bud as well.
Trust me......your plants are just getting started.
Who else amongst you checks trichs at three weeks....raise hands please.
