Hello everyone, These are masterkush buds, for any of you experienced greenthumbs, can you tell if these are ready? They've been flowering under 400 watts hps for 57 days after vegging 31 days. The trichs didn't look ready under my microscope today (almost completely cloudy, a few are turning amber...5 percent amber i'd say). How long should it be before they're 75/80 percent amber?

you said some will smoke them sooner. This leaves another question for people who've grown Masterkush or strains very similar. Whats the most desirable percentage of amber? Im not looking for some specific high, I just want this to be as powerful as the stuff that hits the streets brought from holland, the shit that makes me stoned for a couple hours and im just too stoned to think about life lol, or as close to it as possible

Camera Focus is your friend! The second one doesn't appear to be anyways. I'm in the same boat as you, crystals ahoy but not quite mature enough!!!!

pick and test

knowm, based on what you saw, no matter what even if I pick a bud now and its a bit too early, I'll get a noteworthy high? basically something worth smoking by anyone's standards?

Thanks

If you want to be totally stoned and monged out but not so high leave them as long as possible

Either its im a noob and I can't eyeball the ripeness of buds, but can someone give me a percentage of trichromes I should aim for of amber to achieve what natmoon is talking about.

This is the fastest feedback i've got on a thread haha. I guess you gotta show pictures to be taken for real
