i may be considered a lil old fashioned by many on here....but i never used a magnifier till these boards...lol I just can kinda tell....the amber trichs you can see with your naked eye when there is enough, 80% (ish..depending on the high you want) of the hairs red...not many more new ones coming out....and a week to 10 days after they get their pre-harvest "plump" at the end...with some practice, you can generally tell when a plant is ready regardless of strain.....IMHO that is....
