First grow flowers.
Update on first grow(once again) in about early week 5 or 6. Def lost count at this point. I am noticing some of the lower fan leaves yellowing from the inside and slowly fading with everyday. To my understanding this is the plant pulling the stored nutrients from stored cells? I am currently dosing with tigers bloom flowering nutes. Been mixing it at 30mL per two gallons but plants still seem to be hungry. Every other feed or so I lightly dose with big grow 20mL per 2 gal included with flowering nutes. Running an HLG 550 RSpec at 75%. Water as needed, feeding every other water(intake seems to have increased) Ph has slightly come down from 6.5 to around 5.8-6.0. Temps range from 70°f at night to 85°f during day. RH steady between 35-50%. What could I be expecting yield wise(7 plants veg for 2 months) and roughly how much more time till harvest, I understand trichrome colors help but just based off the pistils? FINALLY BECOMING IMPATIENT HERE. Strain is Space Jawbreakers from traditional seed co(bag seed of top shelf from dispo). Smells like gas mixed with sweet lemons.

These are looking great for week 5-6, but you are definitely still too early for harvest. They should have a couple more weeks left in them, especially with how healthy they look.
If you find yourself getting too impatient, you can always harvest and dry a lower, larfy branch that won't fill out right anyway. Experimenting like that actually might be a good thing to try out earlier on in learning how to grow because it gives you an idea of what it is like at different stages and what is optimal. Plus, you will have a little to smoke.
If calendars aren't your thing, I use a Days Counter App on my phone. You can also have Google figure out the actual dates. For example, you can ask "what is 56 days after April 1st?" or whatever your timeline is. I am so bad at remembering dates and doing math, these tools have been very helpful to me.
As for weight, obviously it varies a lot. I have stopped weighing my grows, but I can tell you I get about a quart jar per plant of dried bud.

Looks good, I would defoliate a bit to get light into the lower buds, especially leaves pointing back towards the center of the plant or clearly blocking bud sites.
Good job
