Hey peeps, <O Take a look at these pictures and tell me what the off coloring on it's leafs mean?<O <O Is the plant read to harvest? I don't have the full time table on it's flowering, but believe it to be 7 to 10 weeks into flowering. I'd hate to let it flower to long. Thanks, <O</O RTH
examine the trichs with a microscope is the only accurate way to tell when to harvest This means the crystals shining all over the fucking bud and leaves Cheap $10 microscope at Radioshach I plan to harvest when 80/20 or 90/10 (cloudy/amber) Clear = immature Cloudy = head high Amber = couchlock (narcotic) high
If you cant get a microscope. Then have a look at the hairs coming out of the bud. They should be browning. I'm no expert so i'd wait for someone more experienced than i am to come along.
wow dude, those look really nice. the color change is from switching to some type of super bloom fert. it has less nitrogen and more phosphate. it's what you want, don't worry about color of leaves at this point. + rep
Thanks to all of you for the help. The suggestions and pictures leave no doubt as to when the plant will be ready. To stevb903, I do have the flower room lined with mylar. The pictures were taken while the plant was outside the flower room. Thanks again everyone! RTH

600x is way too much. Unless you're trying to see the THC itself. You only need like 50x to get a good view of the trichomes. The Radio Shack one is 60-100x. Works well.
