Amber before cloudy?

I will be doing that this evening! I really have been checking them and maybe I’m just missing it but I swear every day I’ve checked they seem clear. Can anybody show me that cloudy I’m missing when I zoom in they seem clear. Maybe it’s just me

@BobbyDigital truly knows his stuff… And a great mentor.

I second his opinion.

I just swear I see clear I haven’t seen cloudy and I’ve been checking them every couple days. Maybe it’s just my sight but I haven’t seen the bulbs look cloudy mainly clear

@kjcarr24 Maybe taking pics of the tricomes would show different… But from the pics you provided they look good to go.

Try getting a jewelers scope to check the tricks… 60x magnifying.

Yea I have a camera attachment which is what I took those pics with it I just see clear in them idk

I would trust your own eyes. You can see them better than we can and if you are seeing a lot of clear, then you can let them go a little longer. What percentage of amber/cloudy/clear are you seeing?

I’ll try to take better pictures when I get home around 2pm est. and I’ll tag you. Idk I’d say I see a good bit of the amber look but outside of amber last I looked almost all are clear but I could be wrong! I’ll give another five better pics of the main cola and a few other bud sites as soon as I get home! Very anxious to see which it is.

It can be rather difficult to tell cloudy from clear. Here’s a tip a buddy gave me when I started growing:

  1. Clear trichs look like glass
  2. Cloudy trichs look like plastic
  3. Amber trichs look… Well amber.

Good luck. Beautiful buds.

I appreciate that I’ll tag you and a few others in about three hours when I get home to double check them! And thank you! They do look beautiful I think myself ! I appreciate your time!

@kjcarr24 hey with the pic above she looks ready, more pics are always better but like moderator said you can see better with your own eyes then us. I would say if most of all white are gone, and now it’s a personal preference if you more Amber for couch lock feeling or few Amber and mostly cloudy a good head buzz. But she looks like you are definitely in the window to harvest, its up to you.

I didn’t know the white would disappear so it’s likely I’m beyond the most possible high with more being cloudy

I’m sorry I meant to type white Hairs,I got ahead of my self, you should have some white, or mostly cloudy tricomes that look white, means you are right on track.

Alrighty I am home. Here’s another five pics. I still maybe see some cloudy but also see clear however since it’s my first grow I could be mistaking a faint cloudy look for them being ready, I do see the amber clearly. Is she ready to go or need to sit a little longer boys? Thank you all! @merlin44 @MattyBear @BobbyDigital @Newt @Bulldognuts @Borderryan22 @Kingkupa

She is in the harvest window. I see only a few clear trichs. Mostly cloudy.

Should I wait a tad longer to allow more to become cloudy? And a few more amber?

Really depends on your personal preference. If she were mine, she’d be hanging. But personally, I prefer less couch-lock than some people do. I use this guide (and shoot for “highest levels of THC”:

Where would you say I am? 80/20? 80 cloudy 20 amber? And also one other question, I’ve heard multiple times to flush two weeks before harvest. Since I have been thinking they aren’t cloudy still I have nutrients/watered just yesterday… what should I do to flush it or can I even flush it right now?

Maybe 80/20… Closer to 85/15 I think. Flushing is completely optional.

Oh nice 85/15 should be a good mixture according to what that chart shows! I’ll be chopping and doing the peroxide wash later tonight. And I’ve heard flushing to avoid ingesting chemicals.
