IMG_0300.JPG IMG_0298.JPG IMG_0296.JPG afternoon fellas this is my first time using a microscope to determine when to harvest I usually just go off the 70% brown pistol method

But bought a cheap smartphone clip on microscope I'd thought I'd attempt to go off the trichromes

How you think there looking?

Not yet. Watch for the trichs to start changing. When you start getting some amber trichs, you can presume at this point that you've reached maximum THC and your plants are safe to harvest. If you have the time and observe less developed buds lower down on the plants, you can split the harvest in two. Dividing your harvest allows the bottoms of the plants to continue to develop after the tops have been harvested, which helps increase overall bud quality and yield.

By the way, looking pretty frosty - good job.

Well we're 6 days on they're looking pretty much the same I've spotted an odd few amber trics.

Here are a few pics.

The amber trichomes seem to be on the sugar leaves which can amber well before the flowers trichomes fully cloud. The other pics I'm still seeing a bit of clear. When the trichomes on the calyx are all cloudy you're good. Some people wait longer.

How many days since the first flowers? I'd wait.

That's what I'm thinking, was going to leave them another week, they're 8 week into flower

I've had a look on several plants and sites and all appear similar to the photos
