    The basic rule of thumb is to get a jewelers loupe and look at the trichomes "crystals" on the buds to judge harvest time based on their color. Chop the plant with mostly clear trichomes, and get a less potent, clear headed high that wont really fuck you up. Harvest when most of the trichome heads are milky white, and you will get a more potent, energetic head high. Chop the plant when you have mostly amber trichomes, and you will get a very heavy narcotic like body stone.

    I generally chop the plant when I see about 20-30% amber trichomes. This gives me the highest potency, and a very balanced high.
    From the looks of things though, you're getting really close, but the plant could still stand to go a couple of weeks longer. You'll be amazed at how much the buds will fatten up and frost up as they ripen. You wont be disappointed bro! :smoke::wave:
    Hope this helped you out!

    Aw man that's so pretty!
    I'd say you give it another week to flush, and then leave it in the dark for ~48 hours and pull em!
    How long they been flowering for?

    naked I couldnt tell ya. Probally like 9 weeks. And this plant started as an experiment, i used 1 32w clf bulb for 3 months than I decided I wanted to start growing so I invested in a 400w hps and a 1000w. Is that what you mean
