Hi all. Been reading on here a lot. Just wanted some opinions on harvest time. How do you all tell when it is good to go?. I am at week five of flower plenty of time but just want your thoughts. I have an 8x loupe for magnification. Is that strong enough?
I think that 8x is a little light, I would shoot for a minimum of 20-30x. I use a Radio Shack pocket microscope 60-100x that was about $8. Peak harvest is anytime from when trichs are mostly cloudy to mostly amber. More cloudy = more of an 'up' head high while more amber = more of a body stone couchlock.
Thanks toasty. I went to radioshack and they had a 60 to 100. Is that too much? I tried a 15x today and saw better and now I know what to look for. So Ill just keep watching ,waited this long whats another week or month . But check out his new pic definately needs water (I watered after this shot) and has some yellow but Im trying to avoid that homegrown taste.
