how should i check for harvest if a plant has nice big buds but no tricombs?

how should i check for harvest buds are big but the leaves for whatever reason dont have any tricombs? just eyeball it?

If there are no trichs there's your answer. it is no where near harvest.

dude the buds are pushing past 7 grams and hairs are starting to turn pretty red. its gonna be done soon no trics on the leaves at all though

Surely if theres no trichs on the leaves now there isnt going to be any, how long into flowering is she?

about a month and three weeks into flower plus a month vegg

just watch the hairs when they are ALL red or orange your there. some people cut at about 75 to 80 percent red, but it think its like any other fruit. if its not ripe dont pick it, early fruit is sour, ripe fruit is sweet and juicy.... same applies here.

Seems a little strange how there are no trichs, what strain is it and how frosty are the buds ?
Sounds like ur still a few weeks from harvest.

how about some pictures?

get a scope and look at the buds , never had a plant that didnt have trichs on shade leaves though, unless its bin pollinated? also hairs can turn red early ar late into flowering it has nothing to do with ripeness, when the leaves start to yellow and die off and the calyxes swell up on the buds (making it look like hairs r receding) u are close then u need a scope 2 check trichs out. u want all cloudy with a few amber i find does me nicely. put sum pics up 4 us
