First Grow - Northern Lights under CFLs in a trash can

[teknopow]

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!

Choped her yesterday. Needless to say i'm more than happy with the results. Drying in the closet now, I will post the smoke report when it's dry and tasty.
All this herb stinks so much!

Thats a nice looking harvest, a great grow to show what cfl's are capable of. Would like to know what it yeilded. And waiting for the smoke report , lol. I have some nirvana northern lights seeds also and im hoping it has the distinctive danky , piney goodness taste I remember northern lights to have. Also when you say it "stinks" can you describe the smell? Lol I am a details man.
