get a magnifying glass and check the trichs. They go from clear, to milky, to amber. If they are milky or beyond, it is allright to cut.

Your supposed to wait until 2/3 or 75% of the trichs have turned to an amber color... Use a magnifying glass to be sure...

duuuuuuuuude...............lol, yeah man give it some time. get yourself a good10x magnifyer( 10.00 @ radioshack) and check those trichromes. If they're clear leave it alone. Wait till they're milky, pick a piece, smoke it and decide which buzz you prefer. Clear to milky will give you an energetic, up buzz.....the further you let it go, the more amber the trichs turn, the more of a profound, couchlock buzz you'll get. Test it at all stages after they turn milky, you may be suprised as to what you prefer. Personally i keep buds in all stages depending on what "high" i.m looking for at any given time. Couchklock good for bed.......milky good for mid-day. Thats the beauty of growing my brother.....you're in control. Good luck and good smoking and remember.....a week or 2 makes a huuuuuuuge difference in your weed. test it along the way, you'll see.
