I learned that putting ice on them during the flushing stage helps my girl think it's winter time, and all of turpenes and colors brighten up. Let's see how this goes!!!!
Just like any strain I look at the trichomes with a pocket microscope. You are looking at the little ball on top to see if it has turned milky (ripe) or amber (over ripe). The trichomes will not all be the same so you are looking for an average. The fewer amber the more "high" it will be but if you want a more relaxing "stoned" then wait for more to turn amber.
