Viewing the trichomes is the only true way. A pocket microscope from Radio Shack works well.

You didn't say how long it's been in the 12/12 flowering cycle?

Even if you can't see amber trichs...you should be able to see clear/cloudy trichs? I would think the amber ones would just look solid/dark?

ps...it looks very nice....:thumbsup:

What other ways can I tell that my plant is ready? It grew for 90 days, Dec 1st all the way to now which is Feb Rating: 5
