i'm an oldtimer 44yrs. to be exact..been growing for 15 yrs. back in the day we did'nt go by color of trics as an indication of when to harvest..we went by swollen caylaxes, leaf curl and when hairs were about 80-85% turned color..you know the plant had an amber look,it just looked ready..i have 4 plants that have been flowering for roughly 7-8 wks. now..i went out and bought a high powered microscope 200x to see the trichs (pretty kool really)..my question is how do you all determine when your plant is ready and the percentage of color ratio of the trics..for example i pulled one leaf off one bud and it had mostly cloudy trics,but another leaf off another bud had mostly amber trics.a third leaf was mixed clear, cloudy and amber..i read where people in their reports for example say trics,10% clear, 80% cloudy 10%amber and i see their pics and say to myself that was way too early to cut..it seems to me to get a good indication atleast half the plant must be looked at and a guesstimate made..someone please explain this to me..i feel like all the years i've beem growing i might have been short changeing myself..thanks all..
