A scope as in telescope why on earth would i need a scope. Very Perplexed now and confused,Deidree
a micro- not tele-, for looking at the stalked capitate trichomes and being able to discern their color (clear=head high, cloudy=mediated high, amber=couchlock high). Depending on which effect you are anticipating you harvest at the time you think will mostly produce that effect.
oh darn...btw, welcome to ICMag, nice healthy looking plants in those pics!!!

back in the day we could harvest by the color of the hairs on the plant. When there all brown you can harvest. A loupe is more acurate very cheep on ebay. Those plants you show have 4 weeks for me

oh thx, this mights be very usefull
I got some Lowryders running. They are at Day 48 but the stigmas are already brown and the trichomes very amber to cloudy. But I don' t know about chopping them, JD said they take at least 56 Days
in a word.... "no"
Deidree, i would wait until 85 percent of the hairs are dark orangeish.
Deidree dont forget to do a nice flush. start 7 to 10 days before harvest with ph balanced water with 1 table spoon of black strap molasses per gallon of water. or use clearex at 20 to 30 ml per gallon. flush until all the leaves turn yellow or purple or change from green. usually 7 to 10 days but 14 is fine.
This will flush nasty salts and chemicals out of the soil and roots, which makes your bud hit smoother and taste better.
When you dry them cut the whole plant hang it upside down and trim as much leaf off as you can which will also make it hit better. Make sure you have good air flow in the drying room and low humidity to prevent mold. To test to see if it is properly dry you should be able to snap off a bud clean. the stems should snap not be bendy.
cure in glass jars and open the them once a day for at least one hour for a month. this will provide the best smoking experience.
good luck, enjoy and stay safe.
