that is the best way for sure. you can count the days and be pretty close, if you're experienced you can read a plant quite easily, but I'd suggest going to Radio Shack, and buying the $15 adjustable pocket scope they have. They're sweet, and cheap.

Red hairs are NOT an indication of ripeness, Once you can see an amber tinge to your trichs with the naked eye, time to cut



But what the hell do I know I ma just STONER

C'mon now, you can answer that yourself. It'll be mostly a head high with "a lil bit of" a body high. 1 + 2 always equals 3.

ok-- if you already DID check the trichomes, what was the need for this particular question? You HAD your answer!

However:
#1- manythings cause hairs to turn early, temps, low humidity, stress, certain strains, etc.... so can not go by the hairs

#2- Just counting days doesn't always work because they vary between pheno's of the same plant strains-- hence the breeder saying 65-75 days.. HOWEVER: this can be your guideline if you have no other option- but remember- you do NOT start counting as soon as they pre-sex or the day they go 12/12--- you count day 1 when you see them actively budding-- multiple calyx's at multiple sites....

#3- knowing the general time needed allows for flushing- then checking the crystals confirm the actual chop time... usually when all are cloudy... not everyone waits for amber- as it changes the balance of THC/CBD's....

If they are mostly cloudy with a little amber then they are done. Just think in a month you will have some GREAT smoke.
