Hi guys. I would like to know if there any visual tips for examining when its time to harvest? I know that you need to look for the cloudy pistols in order to determine that it is ready. However even with a jewellers loupe I struggle to tell the stage of the trichomes.

I'm a new grower but I've heard to check the trichomes on the bud first not the sugar leafs as they mature first, should be about 90% amber and 10% milky start flushing for 7-10 days for a good high and flush when 100% amber for a more couch feeling 🤔 hope this helps bro 🙏👍✌️ I'm in week 8 flower tomorrow 🌻🙏👌👍 take care bro 👍
