Yellowing sacs that droop downward on their little stalks are the signal that a male is about to open. Green, upright clusters are still days away, while a pale yellow sac hanging like a tiny banana will split within a day or two, which is the moment to move him, cut the branch or set up the collection paper. A photo sequence covering each stage from bud to burst is on https://breederregularseeds.com, and it removed the guesswork for me. Check twice a day once the color starts to shift.
