BIG BUD harvesting help needed (with pics)

[Lacy]

Here are some better pics of the buds I picked today. They are from a plant and this is only about 1/10th of it so I am leaving some longer.

I am logging this all down so that I learn.
Here are the buds outside in natural daylight.
This camera really sucks. Its a digital panasonic but I used to have a Canon Powershot and I loved it so much more.

These pics show their true colours.

Yeah I couldn't buy a magnifying glass. I have social anxiety disorder and by the time I got the nerve to go into the city to get one, I find out that Radio Shack is no longer and is now called the source. Well the "source' didn't have one either. Now I could order one online BUT by the time I get it these will be done.

Maybe I'll get a rush delivery.

what kinda of magnifying glass do i need to buy and is there a picture you can show me so i know what im looking for? i have begun my flowering yesterday and when the buds get bigger im going to use your advice and go by the trichromes and not the muff.

Yes I did read that post AND responded to it.
It would be great if I could see the pics in the post BUT I am on dial up and all I get are little x's.

I also have had the same kind of problems when looking over the pics in the 'questions and answers' link.

I'm going by instinct, past experience and what I have learned here.

Thanks for the link all the same, I just wish I could see it.

here ya go , take a look at the pic he posted https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/30739-trichomes-what-they-when-do.html

Right click the little x's and press "Show Photo", they should appear afterwards

 

[Lacy]

Yeah I did that and they usually do but it wouldn't
You guys think I picked them too soon???

Nice buds.

Yea, they look early, but I am sure it will be tasty.

 

[Weed Guy]

I think they could have gone a bit longer, maybe drying and curing could change that....

 

[tckfui]

nice looging buds, and that only a tenth... damn... are you trying to make me feal bad?
more pictures of harvest!!!!

by the time it is ready to harvest you should have roughly 80% red hairs going down about 3/4 the way down the entire top colas.anoth way to tell is if you can get a magnified closeup of the trichomes and when it is ready to harvest they will turn a brownish color and they will be keeled over halfway.

We are up early this morning eh Lacy? What is your final count,have you chopped them all down now?

 

[Lacy]

Hey Chiceh,
Yeah I've noticed you are always an early riser also. I can't sleep in unless I'm really sick and I'm feeling great these days. I guess you are too.

I have only cropped down about 1/4 or 1/5 of my crop. There is one plant I have not even started chopping yet because it got knocked off the deck by the cat and was nothing but a match stick last June. It's about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall.

I cut down two similar looking ones that were more tall and lanky. That was a surprise because I wasn't expecting it to be good 'cause it doesn't smell all that great but it is incredibly good.

I have another plant that is really big with HUGE buds and it has at least another week or two yet. (smells amazing)

Then I have one other plant that is really bushy. I don't think I have ever grown one so bushy before but I am sure it has to do with the strain. I've picked a few buds off that just as testers.

I prefer the head stone where I can work and do things, not the couch lock high. That high I don't mind occassionally while watching a movie or something.

This is totally exciting for me. I forgot how much fun this is.
Can't wait to build my grow room.
I have about 1/2 pound picked so far.

Here are some pics. The buds pic is what I picked yesterday.
