when should i cut this??

ok so i have this sativa its been flowering for about 9 weeks now alot of the hairs have turned red but there are just a few little clusters of new ones coming up. I dont have a scope but the trichs look cloudy i cant tell if theres an amber to them yet but it seemes like my buds should swell a little more but idk Soooo telll me what ur opinions are on the best time of peak ripeness to chopppppppppppppppppppppp

You must have eagle eyes! I say that plant has 1-2 weeks left. Good luck.

I'm into 11 weeks and still popping new growth and clear/cloudy trichs so..........

I'm not going to wait much longer myself....She's going down at the 12th week.

Just wondering, how do you see the tricomes without a scope?

you cant, go get a $12 30x eye loop from radio shack...

Sounds like the same thing i told you last week. Im glad to see you spreading your knowledge....

Like everyone else said get a scope so you can see for yourself.

well how do you not see them, theyre all over the bud, you just cant determine the pigment 100% without a scope
but i got 20/20 aneways

I went and got a scope at Radio Shack and it adjusts from like 60-120 and it even has a little light on it! Love it!

nice job my man! Trust me, if you are a rookie like me it helps ALOT. Just when you think its time, its really 2 weeks longer and that is a HUGE difference. I am sure you will NOT regret waiting for the right time, the buds will only swell, be more dense and more potent by chopping at the right time.

Happy Growing brotha!

Alright cool cool im waiting to see all that weight put on, i hope shes obese!

will it hurt to wait too long? and how fast do the tricomes change? Took a look at mine for the first time today with a scope and saw mostly white, and cloudy but some of them had a dark tint to the top. Was thinking about harvesting on the full moon think the moon has anything to do with the buds? would it "pull" more juice to the buds? lol thanks

Why would you chop it down if it's still popping new growth and has clear trichs? IMO, I would chop it when the plant is ready, rather than just based on the fact that it's the 12th week.
