Hey guys, Can someone post a picture of what a bud looks like righhht before it is cut and hung to dry?? I am asking this because what I see growing looks a ton different from what I buy from a dealer down the street. I have one strain growing that is pretty deep into flowering already. I am sure it has a couple weeks left to go but I still want to see exactly it looks like before I cut them. I am not refering to the hairs being 85% amber in color , and the rest white. I know that much. I am talking about an overall picture of the bud and stem itself, preferably a cola. Thanks guys, hope you can understand what I am asking for. I have a large harvest this year coming in and I want to be absolutely sure I get the most out of it in terms of quality and potency. GC rox.
Yes, that is pretty much what I am looking for, thanks. Anymore pictures would be awesome as well... The more, the merrier.
Liquor, most experienced growers harvest according to the colour of the trichomes, rather than the hairs. I have a little pocket microscope which I bought online for a few euros. I like my trichomes one third to one half amber.
Liquor, there are some trichome pics here. If you search ´trichomes´ you will find more. http://forum.grasscity.com/general-outdoor-growing/259390-when-bud-its-most-potent.html#post2874371
