This is my most mature lady. i was just wondering, how close to harvest am i? more than half the hairs on the plant are orange-d. but i dont have a way to look at the trichomes to see if they have amber-ed. -also should i trim then dry? ive seen it done both ways. i suspect that trimming then drying would cut the dry time down a bit
Without scoping the trichs it's really hard to say. I would wait for all the hairs to turn +3 or 4 days personally. But know that plants can start spitting out new white hairs after the original ones have all turned brown. You are correct about trimming. I find it easier to trim dry, but if you trim wet it cuts down on your hang time. Before stringing up my harvest i take off any fan leaves that have their stems exposed, then finish the clean up after they have dried.
