Thanx. you are the 2nd person who has told me that. Yes high Tech garden Supply. Coincidentally that was the 1st place I loked at when I went to ebay. They do have great prices and ship to Canada.
There was another good place but they didn't ship to canada.
Which one did you get. I saw that one for $199 but am considering getting the one with the cooling fan. Its $329
. I'm not sure if I can afford that or not.
How cool does your fan stay?
Also can you get a 600 watt hps ballast and just put in a MH light? The opposite of what I have been told by the guy at the hydroponics shop. I am not sure whether this is because it costs more or what.
They sure do have great deals and very quick responses. I am impressed.

so ive read when your white hairs turn 50 - 75% red/brown/orange whatever, its time to harvest. but ive also read not to harvest until trichomes start to go cloudy. well i'd say more than 50% of my white hairs are now brown, but when i look at my trichomes most are still clear. im using a piece of a microscope i stole from school way back haha. but it works. any opinions?? please and thanks

i think pistols are not a good gauge of maturity. but one glance at a ripe bud and you know. if you study your plants and watch the tricromes weekly you will perfect the art of good harvesting. however you push a ripe bud too long you will lose it! some say better to harvest early rather than late, however this really hurts most gardeners as they pick early and lose all the bulking and powerful thc

Truly BEAUTIFUL job.
Would you say that the vast majority of the trichs amber when you cut?
An old timer once told me that he waits until 8/10 of them are red.
Seems like most people here believe that is too late.
Do you have a preferred "BINGO its time to cut" amber trich % when peering into the microscope?
(I'm not a noob. those of you who like to regurgitate the same old babble about THC head highs from early cut Vs. CBD cough lock from later cut can save your breath.. sorry to be an asshole. I'm just looking for advice from a true pro)

i wait until i can see a golden glaze on the bud leaves. they trichs ripen on the oldest growth first which is the small bud leaves. the trichs will all turn amber and the leaf will look visibly glazed with golden trichs. this is when i harvest. it can happen overnight.
