Sorry for no pics. And i know trichomes are best indicator.... but i couldn't find a 30x loupe where i live.

I have a GH bubba kush that's 70-80% red pistols and a GH lemon skunk thats 90% red pistols that i just harvested. Both plantes were in week 8 1/2.

The lemon skunk is covered in crystals with plump calyxs.... i can just tell it's ready.

But the bubba is a mystery. It doesn't have that next level of white like the skunk does.... still covered nicely though. And the calyxs aren't as plump as the skunk.... thinking maybe the kush doesn't get as big anyway? Based on what i've told... should i be concerned about having picked my bubba premature?

for starters.. you don't have to have a 30x loupe. You could have just gone to Radio Shack and gotten their little plastic $10 microscope and used that to check your trichs. I have one.. and I use it from time to time and it does the job just fine.

as for worrying about harvesting your B.K. too early.. it doesn't sound like you picked it WAY too early where it would really effect potency... if you gave it 8.5 weeks of flowering time.. and harvested it at that point.. you have nothing to worry about. Worst case scenerio would be that the high/stone from the smoke might not be what you wanted.

good luck

peace.

Should be fine - I harvested my very first bang on 8 weeks...turned out brill, my mate loved it and told me it was some of the best he'd had (which coming from a daily smoker was really something I thought...)
