If you have a keen eye on recognizing the harvest window without magnification, then I need your help.
I just hit week 11 of 12/12 so I assume I am around 9 weeks into the flowering stage. I have a USB microscope on its way, but there is one lady that looks like she needs to be harvested. She is the only plant exhibiting these signs: leaves turning up and yellowing (this is moving down the branches), pistils all seem to have turned color and retreated into the calyx (even lower branches), and calyxes appear swollen. I believe she is telling me she is ready, but I don't have enough experience to trust my assessment. Bottom line, do I cut her now, or wait until the microscope arrives so I can verify what color the trichomes are?
