get a microscope and harvest by trichome color. If you let them get too over-ripe then potency could suffer but you'll also have a higher risk for mold during drying and have a very couch-locky stone to it. Harvest when you see a good number of amber trich's and enjoy.
I ain't givin no bones for a microscope!THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Radio Shack sells 60x-100x microscopes for 12 bones...
jesus things that tight 12 bux gonna break you eh? a good scope is essential to growing weed if you ask me.I ain't givin no bones for a microscope!
Your shit will hermie and trichome potency will degrade. Oh and the purple is probably due to low night time temps.my plants have gone purple but the buds are still nice what can be the effect of this!@? im scared the potency got shitty
