The only other way to guage her readiness besides the scope is to generalize...when most of the hairs turn red / brown.....

It will start from the bottom of the bud and work its way up.

When 3/4 of any particular bud is red haired, you can harvest that bud if you like to do it without checking the scope.
HARDDON Reviewed by HARDDON on . should this be about ready to harvest? hello. the plant is going to be 8 weeks flowering monday, she vegged for 8 weeks as well. her last watering she got just water, and a healthy dose of it. plan to give her more water to clean her out on her next watering. had planned to put into 48 hours of darkness at 8 weeks, but not sure... thoughts?
