I do not know how old my plants are really but they have been budding for awhile now and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. As of the past week the buds and leaves are covered with crystals. I was wondering how to know when the perfect time to harvest is?
When all the hairs (pistils go red) then you can check through the micro-scope and see if the trichomes are going amber( for the couch lock effect )( or clear to cloudy for the head high ) depends on Preference really!
I just smoked my first one and I'm blasted...can hardly see the keys...lmao...good stuff!
Normaly when 75% of the hairs are brown or couloured some strains go differant coulours then this is normaly a good sign but always check the tricones has sometime's due to stress or another grow error they can coulour before the plant is done.You realy want the tricones to look the same coulour has larger not too dark.Then it's time she throws her buds and you can enjoy my friend tyke
