The perfect harvest time is hard to say ... Some areas of the plant will finish before others. When they do, the THC begins to degrade. So what happens is, fresh THC is being produced in some places while it is degrading in others ... Most growers use what is called the law of diminishing returns. It's pretty simple really. When it appears that more degradation is taking place than fresh THC is being produced, they're done ... How do you tell ? - It's half instinct, and half careful observation. As they near the finish, watch them closely with a magnifying glass. You'll see the glands on the leaves and pistils forming and filling up with resin ... As they become full and begin to degrade, they turn amber in color. When you begin to notice more glands turning amber than new ones forming, you've reached the point of diminishing returns , then chop those babies down ... When the pistils are 50 % brown , red , gold etc , etc , this only means that the plant is entering into the phase of maturing   Last edited by mr. hyde; 05-18-2007 at 08:59 PM.. | ||

I know that lots of people use the 30x magnifier you can get it at radioshack, I'll probably get myself one of those towards the end of flowering...
