Well, I’m gonna give you a critique of the above pictures.
I see no burned leaf tips. I see very healthy plants. Great color. Very consistent. Lots of flowers everywhere.
The only thing that I see that you might possibly change, would be increasing your light intensity, a little bit, or lowering your light a little bit. I don’t know how long your lights were on when those photos were taken, but if they have been on for a while, and your plants are awake they are not praying. What I mean by that is the leaf tips pointing up. Reaching for the sun/light.
Your plants look fantastic, if you do decide to change something do it in very small increments. Watching the leaves they will tell you what they like pretty quickly…

Nice, yeah the picture was taken about 5 or 10 minutes after the lights turned on. But I might turn the light up just a bit

Ok…so I’m pretty sure these are soil mites. Which are actually ok for soil. I’ve got em magnified to like 1,000x. They’re only microscopic, can’t even come close to seeing em with the naked eye and they’re only in the soil. So I think I’m ok… seriously I’ve checked a lot of leaves and underneath them and in the bud sites and they’re only to be found in the soil. Would you all agree that this is ok?

Thank you @nacho151. I’m gonna get some 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and mist the soil. But I’m not too worried about them because they’re only staying in the soil and from what I understand they don’t hurt anything. Just as long as they stay in the soil lol.

Well thank ya sir. My next go round I’m gonna shoot for a more even canopy and gonna trim more of the underfoilage off.

So when checking the trichomes, where on the plant do you look at? On the sugar leaves right beside the bud? And if so, like I’m the middle of the canopy or on the top or bottom of the canopy? Here’s a picture of a sugar leaf I cut off somewhere near the top of the plant.

Check them on the bud to get a better idea of the effect you want!

A bud from the top of the canopy? Here’s some of a small bottom canopy bud

I know they’re not done yet probably another 3 weeks is my guess

When I check trichomes I check buds at different heights. If the top buds are looking the way you like them and lower buds still need time just harvest the top ones!
