without a 30x scope or anything how can i indicate when the best time to harvest is

You still have a while. Basically you wait until the colas swell up and just have that right look to them. You'll know it when you see it. Sometimes when I have a few extra plants and the strain is new to me, I like letting one plant go past it's peak just so I get a better understanding of the strain.

Dude buy a scope on amazon for $4 its a jewelers loupe 30x to 60x free shipping even

Long way to go

Ways to go.dunno what your setup is, but at a glance they look like they need way more light
