You should go to Radio Shack and get yourself a small 60-100x Microscope with the LED light built in. It will set you back 10 bucks but will allow you to see the trichomes that are on the buds. This is your best way of judging when to harvest. Harvest when most of the Trichomes are cloudy with a few amber.
DARTHSMOKER Reviewed by DARTHSMOKER on . An estimate on budding time. Hi, I've been writing quite a lot about this plant. Nearly killed it (drought), root bound, and it's still hanging on. This is my first grow, and an experiment in all aspects (I'll go into it all once the plant gets to the smoking stage - if it ever does). The plant has now been on 12/12 for 38 days, the buds are looking well (if a little burnt), but the plant still smells completely veg. Is this normal for the length of time & how long on average would it take till I'm able to cut it Rating: 5
