i took off 2-3 more small bottom branches that look ripe.....i looked at em through a microscope and the trichomes were long and milky opaque not amber more cream color. i wish i could take a picture of the triches!!! well i know of two seperate times to harvest- one is when the hairs are all red and when the trichomes are amber, and the other time is then the trichomes are milky which gives a more soaring high...i dunno i just dont want to harvest when the buds are degrading....peace ma brothas, stay up players!!
