New to site and a little new to growing

Hey wuts up ya'll? Names alex here, just have to say i love the site! Okay so heres my question i live in minnesota in the twin cities. I have a few plants growing outdoors and there doing quite nice, the only thing is i have no clue when to or how to tell when to harvest them. There getting pretty plump and sum are starting to get a lil sticky and have a nice scent to them. I knoe harvesting should be comming up pretty soon i just sumone to help me out a lil bit anlet me knoe what to look for. Someone told i have to wait till the seeds pop (but im not gunna believe that), but rite now the plants are thick like i said and are starting to get orangish redidh hairs but others are caked in white hairs. The leaves itself are long and skinny too if that helps.
Thanx a much to whoever helps me with this!

Alex

hello alex and welcome. the best way to tell is by using a magnifying glass to check the color of the trichromes. the trichromes are the small, sticky, sparkly things. when they start to turn amber you are done.

Thank you very much ill let ya knoe how they turn out

fdd didn't ention the fun way to tell. Smoke some. If its the high you want its time. A lot less sceintific though. VV
