Yes, you have to check the plant from top to bottom, though I've had little variety with my indoor plants at full maturity. I have waited for some plants to go more amber just to compare. If it were possible, I'd cut at 100% cloudy and not wait any longer for the trichomes to age. But nothing is ever 100%. As long as the plant looks fully mature, most new pistil growth has stopped, older pistils are drying up and the trics are not clear (well, not very many anyway) it's ready to harvest. Years ago before I knew they invented microscopes I'd harvest the same way, except for the trics, of course.
Shovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on . One week away from the chop chop! OK...so I've been flushing my white widows for two weeks as of today. I will be doing a trichome check this morning via my portable scope. I have one question.....should the majority of the trichomes be milky white, or should I hold out to see just a tad of amber color. Now remember, I'm talking trichomes, not hairs! Any inout woould be so appreciated....my girls are 4 months old and so pretty. But OMG I don't want to chop them too early! :stoned: Rating: 5
