Noob needs advice

[Kirb]

First time grower. How close to harvest am I? I want an energetic buzz, not full couch lock. I have no jewellers loop so I'm just eyeballing.

Looks like a ways out to me

How long in flower are they

 

[Kirb]

Great question. Not really sure I'd guess about a month?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Ya .. usually ya need 7-10 weeks in flower

Easily have 3-5 more

Keep watching the hairs, when they are all orange and no more white are popping out, yer ready

And get a $10 loupe....really the only way to know....

 

[Kirb]

All hairs should be orange? I'd read 60%...

Like blue said, get a loup then ya know for sure

I've had plants with almost no white hairs and trics where still very clear, hardly any cloudy

Where does one get a loop, and what am I looking for once I have one?

Zon sells them. Get a 30x /60x and you are looking at the trichomes (search here for more info)

Thanks Chris, that's a huge help!

OK, I've ordered my loop. If I am trying to avoid couch lock and want a more energetic high, am I looking for a smaller percentage of amber trichomes? what percentage do you guys recommend?
