When to know when to harvest?

I do not know how old my plants are really but they have been budding for awhile now and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. As of the past week the buds and leaves are covered with crystals. I was wondering how to know when the perfect time to harvest is?

When your trichomes Start to change color.

Do you know of any good guides or videos about it?

No..do you have a scope say 60-100x mag?

When all the hairs (pistils go red) then you can check through the micro-scope and see if the trichomes are going amber( for the couch lock effect )( or clear to cloudy for the head high ) depends on Preference really!

I just smoked my first one and I'm blasted...can hardly see the keys...lmao...good stuff!

if u dont have a scope just chop her when the pistils are abit over 50% red

post your pic on fddblk's thread, in curing and harvesting room,,,he will tell you how long you got..

Normaly when 75% of the hairs are brown or couloured some strains go differant coulours then this is normaly a good sign but always check the tricones has sometime's due to stress or another grow error they can coulour before the plant is done.You realy want the tricones to look the same coulour has larger not too dark.Then it's time she throws her buds and you can enjoy my friend tyke
