Thank you @owasco!
Maybe somehow we can arrange for you to get a little bit of the harvest here.
It's too bad I can't just throw it in a box and mail it, unfortunately I think that is still prohibited :/
If I chopped it down right now it would be ready enough to smoke, but it hasn't reached maximum maturity.
The easiest way to tell is by the appearance of those crystalline formations of "trichomes". They will turn amber when they start degrading. They go from clear, to milky, to amber. The goal is to cut the plant when the trichomes start changing from milky to amber.
I'm happy you enjoyed the humor too! :)
Have a great day my friend. :)
