Best way to tell it's done... really?

[itsalways420]

Hey all, just wondering what's a great way to tell if it's done, is it the tricomes, or is it the hairs, or is it something else?

here is the best article I've ever read on the subject

Good link Jeff, thanks.

From the thread: "A ripe marijuana plant will be filled in, will have an amber tinge to the buds. The pistils should have browned (or orange-d) off and receded into the buds. The seed bracts should be swollen and the trichomes should be sticking straight out with bulbous ends. Also, because you're coming close to the end of plant's life cycle, the leaves should have yellowed off and started to die."

I find that ripe trichomes have a sandy look. Zues has some good observations, the thread is well worth a read or two.

Kick ass post hobbes!!!! Very cool!!! People ask this question a lot, and I tell them cloudy, milky, amber....but it's hard to explain perfectly. Pictures are worth a thousand words sometimes!!!

IA420 the pics didn't show up (we can't see them). Who are you using to host the pics and how are you posting them here? If I highlight the blank area where the pictures should be I get two tiny blueish dots, nothing if I don't highlight.

Picture posting code for this site, use [] instead of {}: {img}picture url{/img}

Use 320 x 240 for your picture size.

Snutter that ripeness chart is great, takes a lot of work out of explaining. Who ever originally made that deserves huge kudos.

KUDOS for the ripeness chart Anonymous Dude!

I would always check the tricones because sometimes be it temps or feed the hairs will turn prematurely.But if it is a 8 week strain then if you give it a extra week you can be sure that the plants will be done.
