raf33. The citral took an extra lights on period for her soil to dry up. So instead of watering every two days it seems like i'll be doing every third day.
Thanks everybody,

If this is a strain you have grown before, then hairs is a fair way to go, but if it is a new strain to you then how do you know it's ready? Hairs vary among differing strains as to color at harvest time. I would really enourage you to get one of the $12 handheld microscopes and check the trichomes for color...that's how to know when she's truly PRIME, and after all that hard work and waiting and not takin her early unless it's a total emergency she deserves the best!
As for watering period, you can guess the days, but plants feed at different levels at different times. I use a moisture meter and have come to trust it as it is always consistent and it's proved me wrong many times over the old "lift and feel the weight" method. Of course, the "lift and feel the weight" method is good too, but at times (like this) you don't want to over water a plant but don't want her too dry either. So, I water when they need it, and not till, and at times that could be 2-4 days between waterings.
