I examined my buds with my $10 cheapass 30x pocket microscope, invest in one, they:asskick: 1 bud had 15% rusty trichomes! 3 others had about 5 -10 % rusty trichs. About 30-40% of the tricks were clear on the buds and the remainder were cloudy. My girls are are very close to harvest

I could only test the higher buds and not the main colas, because it's really hard to keep a microscope still without anything to lean against. Not a fault of the microscope, which is excellent and gives some amazing images. I am glad I didnt buy a slightly more expensive 60x - 100x because I think I would find it impossible use by hand.

One thing from stopping me harvesting now, is that the plants have showed no signs of food/nutrient deficiency since I stopped feeding them 7 days ago. But I don't want to leave it too much longer because most of those buds are within 48-72 hours of being perfect for harvest in my opinion.
