Yeah, I'm looking for the couch lock since these are indica leaning strains, for my pain that is always the best effect.

Yeah I guess I'm going to have to invest in a microscope, but everything I've read says a jewlers loupe will let you see the trichomes enough to see amber/milky whatever. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days when they start to turn and I finally see what ripe ones look like, until then I live in fear of letting them go too long. Need this experience since every other grow I've had was harvested early due to issues.
I'll take opinions though, I only want them to end well.

Looking into getting a microscope myself. I've got a 30x jewellers eye thing and it takes me 10 minutes just to try and focus in on something without putting a shadow over it.

Cheap and works perfect. Just snip a small sugar leaf place on a table and ZOOM right in

I like my loop for quick checks. I have a couple of microscopes also, bit on the fly the loop does it for me..... My two cents, Jay. Good luck, remember, don't sweat the small stuff,,, and it's all small.

Funny thing is, I've got one of those but I was worried the light on it was keeping me from seeing true colors. Probably just wasn't waiting long enough. Thanks Atrain and MassMedMan as always. I'll work on voting in the contest right now haha.

Nice I owned something similar that was also bought from amazon, All was good until I had to replace the 4 batteries. They are expensive let me assure you. Aside from that its priceless. One of the best tools in your arsenal imo.

I checked a leaf from both with the scope. They're only about 75% milky right now with the rest clear, so I guess they've got some more time and I'll settle down. Saw zero ambers as usual.
Here's a shot from my phone through the scope of the Fast and Vast
And a shot of the Med Gom
Whoops. Kinda shitty photos there but I was experimenting.

One thing I do to judge harvest time is find a trichome covered sugar leaf or something other than bud. If the leaf appears clear there are no milky trichomes, if the leaf starts to appear white where it was normally green that's progress. In a little while there will be a glimmer to your naked eye, something amber. Its ok If you miss it in my experience one the first one shows up the rest are soon to follow. Judging by the leaf is not accurate but they tend to mature a little faster than the buds so its more foreshadowing.

Also I use a carson zorb, tricky to use at first and at times it can be hard to judge the difference in color unless its amber. After a little experience with it though, its well worth the money.

if you are interested this guy has grown a vast and fast, and is starting another run of them, might be something interesting for you. He got OK yield (2oz) from a tiny stumpy plant.
interesting grow to see. Thanks for putting journal up
As for the height, I have found that stretching them on purpose from week 2-4 ish greatly improves the yield. my first grow under crappy CFLs yielded really well, and the plants were well over 1m tall. Now im using LED i get less yield, much shorter plants (look very similar to your MED) but much better quality. I am thinking of experimenting with putting a single 60W cfl on them for 4 hours a day to try to stretch them in weeks 2-4.
Also I wouldnt put too much stock in the completion time stated. I often see them run for a whole month longer, and I like to harvest before they go too amber as I like to stay awake while i'm high
obviously different strains behave differently, you need to use your own judgement of course.
take it easy

Good info, I'll check it out. Had some of the fast n vast last night with a buddy. Needs time in the jar but has potential. I'm done with autos for a bit, but, I'd run it again and treat get better
Good job with the Wizz Quiz Jay!!
You made it!
