Ready or Not ?

Im trying to tell if these trics are cloudy or its just the light. I want to reap this one while some are still clear. I want the Sativa buzz from this plant.
Only few hairs have turned though.
Thanks

you could do with a pocket microscope with built in light 30x magnification they only cost £16.00 inc postage got mine from brunelmicroscopes.co.uk or just google pocket microscope for a local supplier. If y are from uk mine only took 2 days t turn up I ordered Sunday n it came Tuesday

No, that plant is not ready yet.

Use a pocket scope from Radio Shack for $12 or so. Look at the trichs to determine exactly when you want to harvest.

Another old way of doing is by looking at the hairs. When 80% of them have turned red, harvest, but again, this is not a sure way of knowing.

Another way I have found, is during the last 2 weeks of life, the bud sweels up big time. Notice on your plant all the loose, white, stringy hairs? You want to wait until all that looness has filled up with green and bud. I'm afraid if you havest now it will be premature smoke, and why let all that time and hard work go to waste.

I'd wait another week or two, and start flushing heavily if you haven't already, but I'd hold off another 7-10 days or so. Ket that bud swell up a bit more as hairs seem most present than actual bud.
