well when looking at the trichomes through a microscope isn't an option, i go by the amount of orange hairs on the buds... so ya from the pic's i'd say that those are close to 50% orange so the time is close... THC production looks like it is well advanced also
how about leave them for another 5 days and then post some more pics...
i mean this is just my opinion, so wait for someone else to chime in and give theirs before you decide the best course of action
time of day bears little relevance to harvest.

i dont have a microscope i use a thing that is used to look at dimands works pretty good they are mostly a cloudy colour now, no signs of them being amber. Im just going by what the buds that i get look like are, they seem like they need to get bigger in size? but i never used any fertilizer beside MG.
I think im going to sample another piece to see how the high is if i like it ill cut some off and dry it up and wait for the rest to finish up and see how that is.
** i microwaved the very bottom branches enugh for a blunt, smoked halve and i am pretty ripped and feeling pretty good right now! it smoked well you can notice the skunk in it with a bit of fruityness aswwel!**

IMO the microwave is the best "I need it NOW" drying method. Cut the buds into 1/4 inch pieces. Microwave in pulses of 15 seconds. It shouldn't take longer than a minutes. Congrats BTW .

yep thats the way i did it. it doesnt really have a harsh taste or anything it justs takes the water out, it was like smoking when i opened the microwave though
Imm drying some lower branches now that looked pretty nice, i smoked halve a blunt of it after work the other day and i was ripped outta my mind( ive been ripped before like this but off some shit that was 55 an eigth called afganian goo) if its looking good enugh today im going to chop it down because its suppose to get to 39 tonight, if not ill leave it but it will be a close one!

the wrost thing could have happened to me! it rained than got real cold! i looked at them today and they look fine now that its warming up but i was scared for a min...
now im going to leave them a few more days it suppose to be in the 50's and sunny, it should help the drying process and get the buds bigger!

i'd guess about 1.5oz when dry (total)

yeah id say that too... i dont really mind what the yield is i just wanted some decent buds so smoke on and not pay for! i did plant late so thats what i blame it on! but than again i could have left em outside longer. Next year ill try again i have been pullin off some seeds from them so let hope for females next year!( along with a good solid male!)
there drying up good! id say another day or so, i got a fan on low sometimes to get the air moving in the room. its dark and pretty cool in there id say around 50-55. im going to can them up next! after that ill take pics!
Damn i just relized is it better to manicure before curing or after?

i find it easier to trim up while fresh, when the leaves dry they curl over the buds and it makes it a little more fiddly to cut them off... doesn't make much difference though really...

Its going to get really dry around here and ill be the only one with bud, wish i had about 40 more pounds through:( this is just my personal i think its weighs in at around an oz or less ive really been at it this time!
