I dont know if its the way u took the pics but the buds look very small. Where have y planted them? U should buy a pocket microscope from alibongo.co.uk n harvest when the trichs are 20% amber 80% cloudy. If y cant get one of those then harvest when the hairs on the bds are approx 70% amber colour. Cant tell from the photos do they have many crystals on them?

go by the trichomes, the color of the 'hairs' mean nothing ... the strain I have been growing out lately, turn the 'hairs' 100% brown a month before the trichs are ready (I harvest when the first trichs turn amber, I prefer a spacey head-high) ... read the 'when to harvest' thread in the FAQ section above ... :smokin:
