Just from guessing from a distant picture looks indica and looks like the trichs might be turning cloudy very hard to say.

You should really go to radio shack and pick up one of these

for 10 bucks.

Look in the harvesting section for "Harvesting by trichs" up at the top.

Yeah, you need a microscope in order to look at the trichomes for ripeness. I'll take a guess and say at least two weeks, but perhaps three weeks until they're ready for harvest.

Why are you spraying your buds, with whatever that is? That doesn't look look water, what is it?

Either way spraying your buds with even water that far into flowering is just inviting mold, which would = 1 unhappy camper.

IMO look at some pictures of buds ready for harvest and you will see the difference. They still need to plump up.

Looks to me like you have a ways to go. How long have they been in 12/12? You really do need a small microscope or loupe to check the trichs.

They have been on a 12/12 for about 3 weeks or so...

Wow, great buds for only 3 weeks into flowering! Expect those buds to pack on a lot more weight before they are done. Most strains take at least 8-12 weeks, some longer.

It is well worth the money to invest in one of those little microscopes that Manels1111 suggested--there is really no other way to tell if the plant is ready other than checking the trichs.

While your buying the scope buy a grow book and read up on harvesting/drying and curing. get yourself some glass mason jars the large ones since your buds are going to be massive. Dont forget the last 2wks before you give um the chop. Flush your soil with plan ph balanced water to get all the nutrient salts out. and the last 8-12hrs before you cut dont give any water it helps with the drying.
