When should I pull the plant?

[headph0nz]

This was put in the bucket 105 days ago. Hydro. This is 2nd grow. First one didn't turn that great(low producer). This one is a bit better. I just don;t want to pulll to early or too late. Anyone give me some advice when I should cut these puppies off? Also I forgot to mention this is bubblegummer.

most growers use a scope that allows them to view trichomes, then harvest according to how they like their buzz:



You can get a cheap one online at Radio Shack for just over $10. It's hard to use while the bud is attached to the plant so you might need to take a little snippet when you think it's close, then place that on a black piece of paper in a darkened room for easiest viewing capability.

I would check that if I had a high powered microscope. I am not a scientist though. Is their another method of determining when to pull?

if you havnt got a microscope then do a search for grow reports
on how long your strain takes, and most of the hairs/pistiols will want
to be brown yours are all still white.

NO, I had light on 24/7 till I saw the first white hair, then I went 12/12. It's been 12/12 for about 40 days.

105 days of 12/12? .

You have waited this long dont make the mistake of pulling too early your yield increases in the last few weeks as the buds begin to swell...

bro ur only on day 40 ur a ways away still be patient

you dont have to be a scientist to see the trichs and determine if there clear,cloudy or amber. Thats the only true way to tell. any other and your just guessing. Get a magnifying glass and do as suggested if you want to do it right. Just by the hairs can tell its not close but after they redden up you can still have a bit of time left.

it is not a high powered microscope and its cheap ... this is one of the cool tools for you room ... you can identify bug and their eggs with it too .... this toy is money well spent
