I am trying to figure out when plants are ready. I have got some lowrider strains that the leaves are turning yellow and crunchy like the moisture is all gone from them. I am trying to check the trichs but I feel like I am blind and cannot tell shit from shinola. I am pretty sure that the trichs are all just cloudy now. Is there another sign like the leaves turning crunchy that the plants are ready to cut? I have heard 60% red hairs well these are all red. The plants are not that crystalized either but I am thinking maybe that is the LR genetics.
 
triches are hard to see with the naked eye -- i got a jewlers loupe on ebay for like 10 bucks... good investment :)
 
I have two loupes a 60 and a 30. I have clipped off all the crunchy leaves now. I will get some pics of a few plants I am having trouble with. Thanks
 
here are a few pics of the plants There are two different plants here 2 pics of each. Do they look ready?

The yellowing this late in flower is your plant dying off. This is nature's way of saying "your plant is done". Grats.
 
indeed. remember -- triches are hard to see, but the hairs are a good indicator. i dont think i saw 1 white hair -- so yeah...this is headed toward body high.
 
I do have a question on the trichs there do not appear to be alot of them on these plants is that normal for some strains or should homegrown always have abundant trichs if grown right? Check out my other plants under KANDAHAR and let me know what you think of them if they are ready or not.
 
i think its a combination of, but majorly because of, strain, and care... in my experience, the bagseed doesn't glisten like the name brands :)
 
Thanks guys I did harvest them and they are a bit airy I wont try that type of plant again. The other plants that I am growing are super dense and full of crystals.

dead leaves and red hairs mean nothing, the plant is still producing resin. Once it goes past 50% amber the THS resin is degrading. It's that simple.

so how do you feel about dead/dying leaves on plants? ive seen a lot of questions lately that relates to that -- cut em off? leave em? only cut off the bad part?
 
I wait till the leaves are yellow and pull off easily. as for the crunchy ones they were different from just yellow leaves they were still partly green they just turned crunchy. How is the high from the lr strains?
