Trichomes are the little white crystal looking things all over the plant. You need to get a scope like was mentioned before and check them out. Also see if you can find a picture reference of different color trichomes on that site in the link above. What you are looking for is about 25% yellow. They start clear and then turn milky, and then finish yellow/amber.

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
