Ya man , you have to check the plants trichomes to know fer sure. I got a mocroscore at radio shack for 11 bucks to check mine. Trichomes are the little crystals you see on the small leaves and on the buds. That's the only way I know to check for the ripeness. When she's done the trichomes will turn brownish, when they turn 70 percent brown she's ripe and ready to harvest.
jiggsaw Reviewed by jiggsaw on . When to HARVEST in Southern Nevada Desert aka LAS VEGAS I started a plant outdoors in the vegetable garden on May 5th, only one survived, Luckily a female. She is about 3 feet tall and has several bud stalks reaching upward. This is my first plant on my own and I am unsure as to when the best time to harvest is. It is so tempting to go pull her now but I want her to be the tastiest as possible! I have including a few current pictures, hopefully you can give me some advice as to when I should harvest. Is there any way to know for sure ... exactly Rating: 5
