When To Harvest

Hello All
I Sure Can Use Some Advice. My Plant Has Been Flowering For 42 Days. The Stigmas Are About 72 Percent Red. I Bought A Mini Microscope And The Trichomes Look Cloudy. It Is Very Hard To Use This On The Plant And Seems To Damage The Buds.
Does Any One Out There Have A Better Way To Know When To Harvest. I Read Once Where Someone Mentioned 70 Day Flowering.

You're almost ready.

the scope is hard, but it's not hurting the buds that much, you will be drying and ripping them apart soon, anyway, to smoke.

follow that guide, and decide on you're preference.

i jsut got a scope, and am in somewhat of the same position, all of my trichromes are cloudy...... i havent started to flush yet...... i guess i will start next watering. i am at 43 days, so im guesiing max 7-8 days which will hopefully give me some time to flush

What Is The Best Way To Use The Scope? I Hand To Cut A Leaf.

Don't get stoned, and kee pyour hand as steady as you can, i had problems at first too but with time and care you'll get it.
