You have to check the trics with a looking glass. The tips should be milky white to amber in color depending on how you want it. If they are still clear or mostly clear then you should wait longer.

A magnifying scope to look at the trichs is best.
GetThisOrDie knows what they are talking about.

This is the best explanation and comparison I have ever seen. Thanks for the link! I didnt know that part of this site existed. I have always just been on the forums and did not know about those pages.

A lot of very good info on there and absolutely no BS.

Well, you plant what you can get, really. You might go looking for Matanuska Thunderfuck and find they only have Mendocino Madness. If you are getting clones you need to ask about the nature of the mother more than the name of the strain.


In the southern part of the state you can grow heavily sativa strains outside and they will harvest right about Thanksgiving. You can get 'em big and they will yeild a lot of fine bud. Sativa grows good almost anywhere it just takes forever, and south of I-60 and below 5000 it will have time to bud.

Otherwise you want to stick to faster, cold resistant indica varieties above 5000 feet.

White Widow, White Rhino, and that family of indica dominant plants are potent, easy to grow, and suited for inside or out. My suggestion is to not grow some extreme variety...stick with an old standby that is easy to grow and get good results.
