need help hairs are turning color

ok so i am juss over 3 weeks into flowering and i have 2 plants that have hairs starting to turn brown one of them only has a couple but the other one is almost 50% turned should i still harvest at 80% or should i rely more on trich to determin i have no clue what the strain is there bagseed but i dont think any plants finish flowering in less than 6 weeks do they? thanks in advance for the help

also sorry there arent any pictures my camera shat out on me yesterday when i was tryin to take some pics of them

Hey, technically they can be done abit quicker,, but in genral they dont, ,go off the trichs, thats the only really reliable way to tell ripness,,
hope that helps, take it easy

thanks thats what i was kinda figureing this is my first real grow i say that cus ive had one or two that got busted and mistreated thats for the help hopefully i can get some pics up soon

Harvest when the trichome color tells you your plants are ready to be harvested.

clear white trichomes - premature not ready yet
milky white trichomes - when 80% of trichomes are milky color plants can be harvested (milky trichomes = clear high) strain dependent
amber/brown trichomes - the trichomes are over ripened and starting to decay it will produce a really heavy body high (not bad for indicas

i use a cheap $5 30x jewlers ring from ebay to take a close maginfied look at my trichomes
