Ok here is my problem
This is my first grow..its outdoors, in pots, organic(for the most part). I have a 60x-100x microscope, and noticed that several of the trics are amber. I took two cuttings in from a white widow, and a Black Domina to 2 co-ops and talk to the people there. They(two separate co-op owners) said it was still to early. It was green or they are still too green? One said 2 weeks before possible harvest the other 4-5 weeks(4-5 puts the harvest in mid-November). They both said that the trichs where cloudy with some amber, and left it at that. One said they still need to completely fill in(the buds), but I am losing branches every day from them breaking from the weight of the "flowers". I patch them up with nylons, and white out, but in some cases they branches have separated to much to repair.
They are clones planted mid June to early July(July 4 the last day), and started flowering on Aug 1st(give or take a week, depnding on the strain).
Also in some cases the hairs are all red, in some most are still white. I know different strains come in at different time, but the trichs starting to turn amber, and all the hairs being red is a sign of harvest(Correct?). If so then why do 2 separate co-op owners(both of whom know way more then I do, and in one case I respect his opinion) both say its not time.
Is there another way of telling if they are ready?
What is meant by still to green(like me with growing cannabis...ie. newbie ). It must mean more then the plants are still to young. Is there a color change before harvest to the leaves?
Thanks for any help...
