Expert answer needed

So I decided to try out my 1st ever plant

I chopped off a piece and microwaved it dry. It's pretty good (surprisingly) and I'm thinking of chopping it down but I'd like to know if I should wait?

The hairs are about an overall of 20% light brown and the majority are white - Will I get stronger bud if I wait?

According to Jorge, if its the type of high you want, it's ready. I would wait. It will get better, and when you can wait it dry it and cure some for a while, you will see the difference, you will know that waht you smoked out of the micro was 'harsh' and did not last as long as the same bud, matured dried and cured.

If most of the hairs are still white, the plant is still growing and fattening up. I recommend getting at least a 30x scope or magnifying glass and check the trichcomes (crystals) and when you see amber they are done.

do what bxke said. The plants pistils/hairs aren't necessarily an accurate way to tell how ripe your plant is. If you harvest your plant when the trichomes are clear, the plant wont be potent and will most likely give you a headache. If the color is milky, you get a head/body stone. If you wait till they turn amber, it will give you a couchlock high due to the development of CBN or CBD or both. Hope that helps. Oh and if you do tell by the pistils, wait till 75% or more are amber brown.
