How to know when to harvest.

[CarolinaRebel]

Thanks for the info Racefan. I followed what I learned here and couldn't be happier with the results. I took my single girl at about 65/35 milky over amber and managed to get excellent results. Having tested one bud, she gave me a more heady type high with just the right amount of pain relief. Now to get the cure right.

Lake County. hella cool place. I just got transplanted here in Missery. Or as they call it here Mo. But I miss my City Bye the Bay. Gotta love the Emerald Triangle tho. Stay down.

Very good information. Would one be able to find a loupe at a local jewl shop or a pawn shop? I've heard that Radioshack carries something of the sort with a light. Have you heard of this?

[Racefan]

Yes on all your questions. The lighted one can also be found at some hydro stores. They call them lighted mini microscopes. I think they go up to either 60 or 100 times. Can't remember for sure.

It starts to degrade.

Racefan that is great info. My babies are almost ready. The trichomes are 70% clear and 30% milky. Strain is Northern Lights. They look good but are still a little light in weight. I want to leave them on the vine but cold temps are here 28-30 and it will be raining for 4 days. I understand I can tarp but I still may loose buds to mould or harsh conditions. So my question is do I leave the buds until all cloudy so they are more dense and risk loosing some to mother nature or do I harvest and go for the sure thing?

Hey guys if you're looking to use something other than a loupe, RadioShack has a $12 "pocket microscope" that has a built-in light and is awesome... 60-100x magnification and easy to use. You can even order online and pick up at the store I'm hooked on mine!
