Ready To Harvest? White Berry - PLEASE HELP!

Hey guys,

I currently have a thread titled "First Real Grow - White Berry". If you need to refer to pictures I've posted quite a few. Some at 4 1/2 weeks at some at 5 1/2 weeks of flowering. Currently, today is the 6th week (day 42).

Please keep in mind that this is my first grow, not using bag seed, lol. So I do not know much about the harvesting aspect...

I purchased these feminized White Berry seeds (White Widow x Blueberry) and before purchasing them it stated that they are perfect for SOG as the flowering time is about 50 days. I have a few questions if ANYONE can help me out.

I recently purchased a microscope and am looking at the trichomes at 150x magnification. I have looked at the trichomes on the leaves and on the buds and it appears that some are clear, some are cloudy, and some are amber. Here's the ratio, IMO: Clear - 15% / Cloudy - 40% / Amber - 45%

Question 1: Do you think that they are ready to harvest? Like I stated earlier, it has been 42 days and it says they take around 50 days. Does this seem reasonable?

Question 2: Approximately 40-50% of the white hairs have turned red/brown. Is it normal for the White strains (white widow in this case) to have about half of their hairs NOT change to red/brown in color?

Question 3: I took some clones off of the original White Berry plant and placed the clones, along with the Mum into flowering at the same time. Should I expect the clones to be harvested at the same time as the Mum? Currently, about 20-25% of the white hairs on the clones have turned red/brown but the trichomes are about the same ratio as the Mum.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Again, if you look at my White Berry Grow thread, you can refer to my latest pictures at 5 1/2 weeks into flowering.

Thanks for the help guys! I was pretty certain that I was going to harvest now, but wanted other opinions.

dvan, I've heard about letting them sit in the dark for 24/48 hours... does this increase potency?

Pics,pics,pics!!!!!!!!
As I said earlier, I have a TON of pictures in my White Berry grow thread, although they are from about 5 days ago. Not sure if they will help or not ???
