How long should I leave it before I harvest? I haven't started flowering yet but when I do how long for?

When the trichs are about half white half amber but it's up to you. The more amber the more couch lock.

Or some people pull them when the hairs are 50/50 white / amber.

Good rule of thumb for soil - when they look like they are done - wait another week!

Yea... get a 30x scope from radio shack for $10 and check the trics...you can't trust the hairs

what are trics? lol

under a scope they look like little mushrooms growing on the leaves and buds.
They are what contain the thc ... and what gets you sticky when you touch the plant... I'll Be right back with more info...
