Nice and frosty. The only way to know for sure is to check the trichomes with a scope. You can get one from radio shack for $12.00.

Is there any way to check them without special gadgets? I have camera with Macro Shot and a magnify glass.

Just squint really hard through the magnifying glass. looking at the pics though it still looks like all the trichs are white and could mature a bit more.

You can't judge trichs with less than 30x and a real microscope is best. I just bought a great used one on ebay for $15. But keep this in mind - the vast majority of gowers are in far more danger of harvesting too early than too late. When in doubt give it another week. if still in doubt, give it yet another week.

Yeah, I'm thinking to cut it and the end, wait for few weeks, but I'm worried about cold weather at nights - don't want to harm this beautiful plant. :-?

Yes, this is Early Misty, I hope, becouse, I'm not 100% sure.

I'm totally down with smile. A little late is a far better choice than a little early. If you don't want to pay for the microscope, just wait until you're sure.

Thanks for your comments! :roll:

Will wait for few weeks, hope the cold won't harm the plant.

Now it's fall, so more rain then in the summer, so that could harm buds?
