where are you getting your info, bag???

you should harvest when the trichomes (aka crystals) turn about 50-75% amber. they start off crystal clear, then go milky white, and finally turn to amber. if you harvest b4 the crystal turn milky, you have basically wasted your grow. i like to wait until about 80% of trichs are amber (love that couch lock, babe!) but it is all personal prefference. milky is mind high (d9 thc) amber is canabidol and canabinol, body high.

get a powerful magnifying glass or microscope. check out those crystals. if you are in dout, GIVE IT ANOTHER WEEK!!!

love, brooke

so if waited too long or what?

ding ding ding

dont go by the hair color, lots of things can make the white hairs turn orange-brown

get yourself a jewlers lense and look at the trichs, thery will look like clear mushrooms...lol

Dont go on the AMBER crystalls. If the thrichomes are amber they are degrading.

You want to get a loop, say, 30 X magnification.

When the trichomes [crystalls] turn cloudy they are ready for harvest, clear ones are immature.

You should harvest at about 60% cloudy, 20% clear and 20% amber.

Basically, the more the clear the more head high it is, and the more cloudy/amber the more couch lock it is.

The choice is all your though.



hope this helps.... Too much dodgy info.

And also, dont go by the colour of the pistilles... it means nothing, as they have nothing to do with the trichomes ... = THC

Great photos! You can almost see the little trichomes just in those photos alone.

lol thats my k750i 2mp camera not bad eh?

If u get a mag glass ull see this, then the choice is all yours
