that means you are probably in the window of harvest, but u can pinpoint the perfect time looking at the trichromes. I only check new strains.. the stuff I've been running for years I know when its done... looks the same everytime.no white ones left
Go to radio shack the sell one with a light .... Works for me. ..... Oh yeah welcome farmerWhat types of magnifiers are most folks using?

There are a few ways of telling how 'done' a plant is that don't require a loupe. I personally have a jeweler's loupe, 10x is the most magnification I want for viewing trichomes.I have 3 different magnifiers and all 3 are giving me a hard time. I have a 10X printers loupe awkward and hard to hold still.Then I bought a couple of lighted models from my local hydro store.
No matter what I use I cannot tell if the trichomes are turning cloudy or not. What are you more seasoned guys and gals using to tell when your flowers are ripe?
Then I am confused as to when they are at the peak of ripeness based on all the info out there. Some claim to wait until the trics are turning cloudy and some are going amber. My understanding is that when they get cloudy the THC has begun to degrade from their optimum levels. Thus why would we wait until they are going cloudy.?
The strain is Predator Pink and the breeders time span is 50-56 days from flip. I am at 56 days today. However I also know sometimes plants ripen before the stated times and sometimes take longer. But again without a good way to inspect I am just going off the stated flower time. Need some assistance please
