You will also need a magnifier or jeweler's loupe. With this you will examine the trichomes and watch for them to turn cloudy and slightly amber. When this happens, you are ready to consider harvesting. Trichomes form on the cola(s) / buds and look like small crystals or drops of liquid. See attached image for example of trichomes. The trichomes on this cola (from my personal image collection) are about 2 weeks from being ready to harvest. They are just starting to turn cloudy, and within 10 days or so (after the image was taken) most will be a milky color and a few will start to turn golden.
