Ready for harvest? Flowering for about 5 weeks or so. Opinions - now, later? Not too much on it (bud) but doing well all things considered as this is not the best area to be trying this...

Ready for harvest? Flowering for about 5 weeks or so. Opinions - now, later? Not too much on it (bud) but doing well all things considered as this is not the best area to be trying this...
wait atleast 3 more weeks!!!!
3 more weeks? I know I want to look for the trichonomes but do I also want to look for something about the flowers themselves? Thank you for the advice.
Atleast 3 more weeks mate,they look no where near to me..
I'm chopping 2 of my babies tonight as i tested a branch and after only a quick drying (2 nights) and 6 hours in a jar the high was perfection.
I cannot wait for the properly dried and cured product.
ya no where near done at least 3 more weeks look for the hairs to start turn red/brown then you can buy a 30x magnifier from radioshack and look at trichomes im sure you can find a thread on here about %of trichome color to specific high becuase i know i have you just gotta look.
Past week it's been in the 50s during the day, last night was the first frost. I started putting her outside in the morning, putting her in a closet at night. The only concern I have is that the temp difference would effect it somehow - doubtful though? Was outside all summer. I'm going right now about 12 hours of light, 12 in pitch black dark though... sound about right? (Note: the 12:12 is the natural ratio of light:night right now).
About 3 weeks - I can continue moving it in, out for that. No problem. Don't want her to get too cold though! I wonder how much I may yield from it at the end...? Watching for bud mold too I think I will be ok though...
Does it matter if the plant is getting direct sunlight? I put it outside each day & it gets indirect sunlight... this is based on how the sunlight hits where it is - outside... I think it should be ok but I am not sure?
I remember reading somewhere only needs a couple hours of direct sunlight like 2-3 then indrect is good enough for the rest
The more Direct Light the better. The amount of growth differental is not extrem but noticable if direct light less than 6 hours. IMO
And yes you have 3 weeks minimum to go before harvest.
BOL

Yep.. 3 weeks more at least. You'll be surprised how much more the buds will fatten up.
Get that magnifier so you can view the trichomes up close... If you want a "head" high, harvest when the trichs are mostly cloudy... If you want a more "couch-lock" body high, let them go a little longer and harvest when the trichs change to a more "amber" or yellow color.
Well I'm keeping her outside during the day but as far as I can tell it gets maybe an hour (or less) of sun shining on it. It's more like "in the shade" until later in the day when the sun hits it for a little bit. Taking a guess that this is just going to have to be ok. It's not ideal but best option I have... Thanks fellas.
