HOW MUCH LONGER??(PICS INCLUDED)

[headshake]

thanks shake...
this is my first grow.

you are welcome.

how will i know if the buds are losing thc?
whats your opinion on when to cut it?

they will have to go to mostly amber+ before the THC starts to degrade. it's not uncommon for commercial growers to let them go too long because, like i said, they put on a good bit of weight for the "final push".

so unless you plan on letting them go past 50% amber then you don't have anything to worry about here.

as far as when to cut, see my above post. get a jewelers loupe or a little hand held microscope. you can find one at radioshack for ~$13. the trichs are the only sure-fire way to tell when to harvest.

also, its about to rain for a few days straight.
do you think it will efect my buds?

it's a possibility that you can get bud rot. if it's possible you can cover your plants with trash bags or something. if not, you can always chop. again, it's up to you.
