By the time the hairs are 50/50 white/brown and the swelling stops your trichomes will be milky with a few ambers anyway. I'll skip the loupe and go with experience. Peace.
the trich info wasn't meant for you it was meant for jojo whatever his name is.
no one said you need to be bill nye to know when to harvest. he doesn't have experience, so i'm telling him the proper way to do it.

the buds will swell for the last 60% of their time in flowering. then before the plant gets ready to die it will put on a good more bit of weight.

you give him an opinion and you don't back it up with anything. every plant is gonna be different. it also depends on type of lighting etc. they will take longer to finish under CFLs as opposed to HIDs. so while your opinion is great and works for you why not teach him how to do it until he gains that experience.

in no way was i trying to preach to you or at you. sorry for not being more clear.
