Nice.

The hairs turning colors means next to nothing (Please don't yell at me about this). Basically, the closer to harvest time it is, the more hairs there will be that have turned brown. There is obviously a correlation between trichomes being ready and what percentage of the hairs are brown. But not only does it vary widely between varieties, but it could vary between plants, depending on what you've fed it, genetics, blah, blah, blah. Once you have worked with your particular plants for awhile, you can use your magnifying tool less, and the tool between your ears more. I mean to determine when to harvest by means of pistil color. It also depends on how you like your weed. Clear, cloudy, amber? For example, soon you may start to realize that for your variety, once 90% of the hairs in the top 2/3 of your canopy have turned brown, then roughly 5% of the trichomes are amber, 5% are clear, and the rest are cloudy. Just exactly the way you like it.

Hmm, I'm thinking that should be a sticky or something. People keep asking about that all the time. No offense intended whatsoever, Mr. Blue.
