Burmeseanswered grow question 4 years ago Hi there,The buds will be swelling until they are closed to harvest. You can get a better one by the advice I gave to you.Also It will be better if you know, when the harvest window is opened. During that time,the leaves will show deficiencies, yellowing and most of the white pistils become orange.The best method is using 60x microscope and check trichomes colour.If trichomes are mostly milky/cloudy about 80/90 % and fill with some amber colour.For some trichomes with purple colour reflection, check the pistils to determine.Happy growing... ✌️
