How long do white hairs take to turn brown/red?

[monsta]

One of my plants has been flowering for about 5 weeks now, in the last few days the buds are really starting to plump up. I also noticed that a couple of the thousands of white hairs has started to turn brown. Was just wondering roughly how long it takes for them all to turn brown? Im not sure what it is as it was bag seed, (very nice bag seed)

Get yourself a microscope to check out the trichomes. Depending on the high you want harvest by the trichomes not the hairs. I harvest when they are all cloudy, wth a hint of amber to about 40 to 50%, just a hint of amber though for me. I like the head buzz.

how the high like if its amber with a hint of cloudy?

The more amber you have, the more couch lock high. All cloudy is a great head buzz. The longer you let it get amber though it gets weaker I find.

Thanks for the fast reply i dont have a microscope could i use a digital camera and take a macro shot then look at the enlarged image on the pc and see if the trich's are looking ready

That might work but you can pick them up pretty cheap at radioshack, like under $20.

Im just about to harvest my Diesel ryders. They are cloudy and only a few amber, i wana go for the couch lock. How long on average do they take to go from couldy to amber. Im think about harvesting on monday, dnt wana leave it too long!

Takes what it takes..depends on your..nutes, knowledge...etc.. patience will be rewarded... luck

* hey Chiceh..I was thinking that I might throw up a K.I.S.S. (keep it simple silly) for the newbies.. put the cheapest and easiest grow method..shit I spend about $70.00 for everything... plus I'm seeing a lot of the same ?'s..... what you think.. maybe even get it put somewhere permanent..

when the trich's are all clear the thc levels arent yet at their most potent.
when the trichs are all amber the thc was at its highest levels but has since started to dwindle. the most potent thc levels are when most if not all trichs are cloudy with a few amber. this is when i always harvest.
