Hey again everybody,

It's been 59 days since I switched the lights to 12/12. I'm not sure when to harvest as I don't have a magnifying glass and really can't get one now. I attach the best pics of the trichs I could get (some look amber but I think it's the light). I have a few doubts:

1) What signs should I check beside the trichs that could tell me when its ready to harvest.

2) Some buds look ripper than others. I think it's because they have more exposure to the warm light as I have a warm one and a cool one. Is it ok to cut the branches that look ripper first and leave the rest of the light under the plant or should I wait and chop the whole plant?

3) What do you think from the pics? I want to harvest early as Im looking for a head high and I believe the NLs are more of a couch lock high.

4) What tips could you give me at this stage to improve the crop?

Thanks all for your help I'm almost there and on my first try!

I'm posting this grow log because I have noticed some interest in rubbermaid/trash can/whatever-container grows. So I figured out this may help someone out there as the other posts here helped me. I decided to start my first grow after reading many posts on this forum with sound advice for starters. I don;t have any gardening experience at all (well I can say I have some now =)). I am growing only 1 Northern Lights plant from Nirvana Rating: 5
