When to harvest?

[clubdrug]

Its day 65 of flowering for my girl and i have no way of knowing what strain she is and i dont really have any extra money to spare on the magnifying glass so what are some signs other then trich color to when she is ready to be chopped down?

If you put your ear real close to her and listing real hard she will tell you.

I would wack her if she looks good 65 days should be close

very few of teh hairs have turned orange, isnt that a sign of maturity?

 

[Guest]

only very FEW? i would just harvest it when the majority of hairs are have turned over to orange and has a nice ripe look to her

Sorry to here times are so rough that a magnifying glass just can't be fit into the budget..just kiddin...
If the calyx have begun to swell and yes a high percentage of hairs have gone dark(red, orange, etc.) then you are probable good...or if she seems more indica dom..65 days should be plenty..
If you do happen to save up that $5...then look for a balance of amber trichs and clear ones with the majority being cloudy..
Most folks around here just get the $12 pocket microscope from Radio Shack..
Sativa's generally take a little longer than indica's..
60 days flower is usually the key number for indica doms...wait to long and you go from a good balanced head high to a narcotic couch lock body high (high amber count)..
Hope this helped a little..

well very very few of the hairs are orange id say 97% are still white, so ill just let her do her thing for a little bit longer, maby by then ill have some extra cash to get the microscope.
