Thats great, thank you for your thanks, lol. Theres nothing that makes me happier than to help others to grow the best herb. Yes I too had trouble determining the color of trichomes at first. The best way is to look at them from the beginning of budding til harvest. (which of course you didn't have the option of doing this time) Also the issue of Weed World I believe it was 61 or 62 that had the micro photos of trichomes in different stages will help you alot. You might try to find something on it somewhere on the web. Its alot easier to judge when you have something to compare too. I would think the would be ready too as your strains are both indica dominant and 70 days is a bit long for a indica dom. hybrid. Again happy harvest.
