So I just tried another sample of my plant casue i wanted to see if it was time to harvest yet and im sooo baaaked right now i can hardly type.. so i was wondering should i just go ahead and harvest now since the plant is bomb now and disregard looking at the trichs or should i buy a microscope and take a look? is it even worth it if i tried a sample and now im reealy baked? im not sure?? holy shit i havent felt this blazed since back in the days and this is just bagseed dank stuff im growwwin.....im gunna go play with the coulds now.. im feelin up there. so ya think i should harvest??
Pics would help.. But, it might be worth lookin through the microscope..But, if ya just wanna get it done, take her down.
you have to check your trichs if you want to know when to harvest. just cause you got buzzed doesn't mean it's ready. the last couple weeks is when the buds really pack on the weight.
well to be rough sketched, if the hairs on the plant are 75% red than harvest, if you want to be picky than buy a pocket microscope at a local shop and look at the trichs and shoot for the trich preference of either 75% cloudy 25% amber or 50% cloudy / 50% amber, those are two generically common preferences
you "can not" judge when to harvest by the color of the hairs. at least not with any accuracy. get a dope scope fron radio shack for $15. well worth the investment.
