I go by the trichomes, or the glands not the calyxs. Some strains are different from others. The trichs how ever are easier to tell if your plant is ready, or almost there. The trichs start at clear, then turn milky, then turn amber thats when their done. Clear is less stoney, milky more stoney and amber is stoney. You have to get a scope of some kind to see the trichs well, they look like little rain drops with a bulb on the end.

I finally got a scope today and checked out all of mine. Most are still Clear :-P so guess i still gots a ways.. but yet the calyxs are swollen. There are some milky trichomes but for the most part they are clear.

Hahaha holy shit, i get the same looks from those fucks at walmart. But the trichomes on that plant is mainly all clear. i'd say 80-20/clear-milky gonna let it this one go for about another 3 weeks.

I have it outside yeah i am probably more south of you then, the lowest the temps are suppose to be getting around my area is around the upper 40's which still isn't great for cannabis, but she'll be straight hopefully.
