anyoneeeeeee?

A rough guide as to when to harvest is to wait until 50%-80% of the white pistils (hairs) have turned dark (usually brown or red). But a better method of determining when to harvest is to wait until certain trichomes on the plant have matured.
They start out clear, turn a milky color, then turn amber (light brown). To best judge when to harvest, wait till about a week or two before the expected harvest time (just before you go to water only feeding) and look at the trichomes on the largest buds on each plant daily.
The best time to harvest a marijuana plant is when a majority of the trichomes have turned to a milky translucent color. Not all the trichomes will mature at the exact same time, so harvest when most of the plants are ready. Or harvest each bud separately.
It is nearly impossible to see the trichomes with the human eye, so some type of magnification is needed. An inexpensive way to effectively view them is to use a pocket microscope rated at somewhere between 20x to 70x. :peace: OUT!

Yesterday I got a small bud off the plant and I hang it in a cupboard,surprise today, it was all ready dryied,due to being a hot place in presence of a boiler.So I had my first joint,
The smoke was really good,I don't like the letargic effect so good for me, I had to stop smoking the last bit cause, probably mixed with my emotion of smoking my first home made bud, got me too high,lol.
The taste was a bit of a salty one,it is a week flushing now.Can the potency increase in an other week time?
I leave some more pictures.
Thanks to all

Looks good man, def let her go for at least another week or two. That bud will swell up real nice.

The taste and potency will increase after you harvest and let her dry and cure properly. It takes about a week of hanging for the chlorophyll to turn to sugars for the good taste. The THC level will also increase during that process.

Be patient bro she looks great just give her more time.

it seems to me that since im on my first grow it is so hard to determine when to cut.. i got a little microscope but its a HUGE pain in the ass to check trichomes once i get a clear shot its hard for me to determine clear/milky. none are amber yet and the majority of all my pistils are white noticed a few turned darker shades.. will go home today and see whats happened :)
