When do you know when's good to harvest? What do you look for?

This is my first grow that's reached this stage of flowering... we're only on about week 8 I think (wasn't tracking like the last 1) but what's the best way of knowing when they're ready for harvest? I don't think they are , but I want to know what to look for so I never ruin it!

Hello First of all you need to have a microscope 30x is enough! You harvest the plant base on the rei comes and your preference! If you want to harvest when the THC and other components are in full power you aim to harvest when the tricomes are 90% cloudy and 10% amber, that gonna give you more a sativa type of high! If you want a mix of head high and a sedative high you aim to harvest when the tricomes are 50/50% cloudy/amber! Keep in mind that more the % of amber tricomes more sedative the high will be, because the THC transformed in CBN! Don’t forget to flush mate! Wish it helps Check my diarie if you like! Peace ✌️

Thanks guys, massive help! I have ordered a jewelers loupe, which should be here in the next 4-5 days! Does 30-60x so that'll be handy! I had no idea about the ratios you all just mentioned and the effect it has on the high, so really appreciate the learning! Much love people, really appreciate all this!

If your phone has 25 megapixels or more you can just take a full resolution picture, make sure you are far away enough for it to focus but close enough for it to catch a lot of detail, i use my phone's camera of 25 mpx, and i can ser clearly the trichs, take the picture at sunset and get the plant in the shadow, it will do wonders.

Depends on the type of high you want. Regardless of terpenes and genetics if you harvest with milky thrichomes its the peak of the effects you get sedative and active high. If you wanted fully active high, harvest with clear+milky cristals. If you want it basically fully sedative, just hold on untill its fully amber crystals and you got it. I like to harvest them at a point where some might say its a premature harvest, but i know what i'm aiming for, it just blast my mind everytime, since i need to be active and can't even risk couchlock i harvest with clear crystals. I get less yield but i get the high i want, and its better to get 70% of what you like than 100% of what you don't really want. I would recomend harvesting as soon as you see no clear trichomes. Stay well, and good growing growmie
