You really should use a 30x microscope and catch the trichomes just before they turn color to amber, they will go from cloudy to amber in about 5-7 day's so pick when most of them are cloudy. They will continue to mature, as the plant dries out so don't rush it.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . LEAVES HEY PEOPLE I AM IN A DILEMMA OVER HERE......SHOULD I CUT ALL THE LEAVES OR NOT? I REFER TO THE FAN LEAVES THAT BLOCK THE LIGHTS REACHING THE MIDDLE OF THE PLANT.....WILL THAT SHOCK THE PLANT OR NOT? BY DOING THIS WILL MY BUDS GROW LARGER? I AM ABOUT TO FINISH WEEK 5 12/12 IN 3 DAYS AND BUD PRODUCTION HAS ALREADY TOOK OFF WITH BUDS GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY....ALSO, SOMEWHERE IN THIS FORUM I'VE READ THAT ANOTHER WAY OF KNOWING WHEN TO HARVEST (OTHER THAN LOOKING ON THE TRICHOMES) IS TO LOOK WHEN Rating: 5
