get out a microscope and check out the trichomes
sativas can take 12-14 weeks to flower, more commonly in the tropical ones
and some take less
but what you're looking for is a lot of amber, about 30-50%
the rest milky
for a nice balanced high from a sativa
i don't see any amber yet, but it's hit or miss with the unaided eye

Too soon for a Sativa hell it's too soon for an Indica.

this is what i used until i got a more powerful one, but it's more than good enough for our purpose
for a couple bucks

If you have a Northern Hydraulics store nearby ( or online ), get a set of jewelers loupes ( they attach to a pair of glasses. If you don't wear glasses, go to the Dollar Tree and buy a pair with clear glass in them ). The loupes are 3.99........you won't regret it. $5 solution to your problem.

chinese electronics are actually pretty good.
china's bad rap comes from their tendency to produce a lot of counterfeit products (made from inferior materials), because of different laws
also cheap stuff for dollar stores
chinese stuff tends to just break easier, but typically does what it says it can

Size could be double? uhh... thinking no.
The buds look nice, only way to know for sure is by looking at the resin glands (trichomes) and making sure they are milky white to amber in the tips.
IF the tips of the resin glands (look like mushrooms) are CLEAR then it is too early. If they are MILKY then you're good, if they are AMBER they are very ripe--- almost over ripe.

Best way for us to tell you is for you to post pics of the trics, you want some amber and some smokey!
