Hi
@Walleyguy Basically the most reliable and hands on way to guage your plants matureness is to purchase
a small handheld jewellers type loupe magnifier that is around the 30x mark.
With this you simply look at the buds closely to view the trichome glands. These are the key to what makes us
happy and high when we consume our weed. The trichomes should have all turned opaque in colouration with atleast 20% of them progressed to what is referred to as amber in colour. Waiting until then to harvest will ensure
you get the best effect possible from all of your hard work growing these lovely ladies's I hope this solves your question and Best of luck mate
