When I look at the buds, they don’t look ready yet, but when I took a pic with my microscope, the trichomes look ready. What do I go by in this case. I am not looking for a heavy couch lock effect. The thing is, the weather is good until next Thursday, and they predict frost. Should I just go ahead and chop them Thursday, or should I build some hoops over them with PVC and put plastic over? And maybe keep them for 2 more weeks? Do they look ready to you? Of course they might look a little more ready in 5 days. I appreciate your opinions, I don’t have anyone else to ask, hope to hear something from you. Bud with purple hair is California dream, the other one is Skywalker og.
