Roger A. Shrubber said:

very true, but most of them will at least go milky, haven't seen one yet that was ready while it still had a lot of clears

Yup that’s true.

Last year I had the opportunity to harvest the top cola of a bubblegum I grew. I harvested when the tricomes on that top were actually gold, not milky, clear but still no matter what angle I looked at it the tricomes were gold.

Best damned pot I ever smoked.

its kind of hard to illustrate unless you can look at some from overhead, then look at the same ones from the side and see the difference, but these kind of illustrate what i'm talking about
View attachment 4309195 View attachment 4309196 look at the ones directly facing the camera, they all look cloudy, while the ones you can see from the side are still obviously clear

won't lie to you, those are pics i found online that illustrated the point i wanted to make.
i bought one of these, https://www.amazon.ca/HUASOET-Microscope-Rechargeable-Electronic-Detection/dp/B074CJFJG3 which apparently aren't available at the moment, but it works awesome. you do have to put a card in it and then put the card in your computer to save pictures, but it will hold 1000s. the pics on it are just as clear as those i posted though, just a pain in the ass to transfer them back and forth, when it has a screen of its own

This is no longer a problem , I finally said the hell w/ jewelry loupes & got a cheap 5mp digital microscope that runs on windows 7-10 on eBay for $19.20 & had to give it a try unfortunately it’s coming ups ground shipping so my plants should be fully mature when it gets here

Looks good , if you’re an Amazon Prime member then spend $20 on the scope I just bought & just posted, you’ll get it in 2 days if not they have delivery options , might be $27-$30 for 1 day delivery just make sure you get one that’s compatible w/ your laptop or computer I see a lot of people have trouble w/ phone app. , I’m a non member so I paid $20 + $5 shipping for standard 1 week delivery , just make sure to also check reviews before buying. I’ll never have to ask anyone’s opinion again about harvest time

I got an email it’ll be here tomorrow & just ordered it yesterday :0)

let me know how it works bro. I used a dino-lite usb microscope to take mine i believe they cost 100-200$ but i borrowed it from a friend

A buddy of mine had one of those microscopes maybe a different brand, take special care with where it plugs in and bending the cord cause he had his have a problem where it would rapidly disconnect-reconnect.

for 20$ though i mean the thing worked kick ass!

My friend has one & bought one for his buddy who runs windows 10 & that’ll be what I’m running it on so I’m very confident it’ll be awesome , Hard to believe w/ it being so cheap I was gonna spend $70-$100 but said hell w/ it I’ll give this a try first :0)

Same here. I'd wait too if it were me. But my wife likes it harvested earlier I realized when I found a couple bananas on a Sunset Sherbert at 27 days and chopped it. Totally my fault from stressing her too much at early flower. She can just hope I screw up again though if she wants it chopped that early again. Haha.

Haha, I just realized that was a month ago. I'm sure he's harvested by now.
