My first grow. Need help to determine harvest :)

[hcmake]

Hi, Im growing a medical hash plant. (bagseed but looks like hash plant)

My plant is starting her sixth week in flowering and has dropped most of the bigger fan leafs. Also the fan leafs under colas are yellowing pretty fast rate. lowest buds are also starting to go brown/red.

So my question is can you guys help me determine a good harvest time for my plant?

For the weed effect id love a stress releaving good night sleep herb to treat stress indused insomnia.

Will post some pictures in the morning when the lights come back on

ok well if you really wanna know go down to radio shack and pick up a 10x pocket micro and look at the tricroms ( thc glands ) i like mine to be almost a nice amber not all amber but 3/4 of the way and thats when its harvast time make sure to hang the plant up in a dark room thats dry and leave it alone for a week then put it into mason jars for at least another week and bam u got some killer medication

Yes i readed about the microscope thc color inspection and i got the radioshack 60x-100x with light.
Ive clipped few testers to look at but i did not get conclusive result from what i viewed .

i plugged one of them ripe calyxes off and checked it seemed like 60/40 cloudy/clear to me... but weird thing was that they were like balls not like mushrooms :S

Is there a corolation between the pistils turning red and the trichomes turning amber ?
Week 6 started and about 20% of the pistils are already turning red/brown but about 40% of trichs are cloudy 60% still clear.

So another week or two before harvest ?

Nope.

Probably. Even with a heavy indica you'll need a week or two more than normal using CFL's and fluoros (vs. using HID). Patience and you'll be very happy :jointsmile:

I got a little problem. My plant is in only a 1.5 liter pot and its week 6/7 flowering. All the fan leafs have turned yellow and 90% of them dropped. Nuggets lowest leafs are turning pale green... So i think it has used all space for root system now.. Should i wait till harvest or repot it to bigger container ? :S
