no microscope yet so need a little help eyeballing

as the title says i havnt bought a microscope to check out the trichs yet so im eyeballing the girls and keeping track of the days to give me a general idea of a timeframe in which to harvest. today is day 45 of bloom. tell me what you guys think.

A few more weeks imo. Those calyx will swell up a bit and the pistils will recede, then she should be there.

Looks tasty

i tried taking some close ups with my camera but the hps light wasnt helping out at all... but heres 2 close ups and 1 of all the girls. the calyxs seem pretty swole up but ill keep watching them i was thinking somewhere around another 7-10 days before harvest.

and thanks! they sure smell super nice so im hoping they taste just as good!

2 more weeks for sure.

heres some better bud shots with the hps off.

2 weeks at least

I dont think two full weeks. Id post the same thread with pics a week from now and ill bet theyll be done or just a couple more days. I say 10 days.

nice bud

If you're not flushing, I would start. They are getting close. If you have a Harbor freight in your town a 10X loupe is all you need. They sell a loupe set for cheap. Or get a 30X on ebay. I think 20X would be ideal.

I had the similar problem on my first harvest too. From your pics your able to get close enough to see when the trichs turn Amber. U will see a bunch of white ones with what looks like brown dots mixed with them that's what I judge off of.

A loupe is like $5 and radioshack has those handheld microscopes for $15 and they are going out of business so it'll be cheaper(if there is still one around by you). That way there is no guess work.
