Hey everyone I’m 8 weeks into flower on a CBD Blueberry Indica. My sound like A stupid question but how should the trichomes look. I know the rules for standard THC rich strains but what about a CBD heavy strain ? Should I wait for more Amber ? ---

I am going to set this to watch. I have two high CDB hemp plants and was wondering the same thing. ---

I found this so I believe that it’s the same rule as predominant THC plants. More Amber trichomes more CBN more couch lock and less THC. I guess the only question I still have is does the way the trichomes change colour reflect the levels of CBD also ? _edited to remove unauthorized link_ ---

You have a ways to go. Harvest same as regular cannabis. Just like its intoxicating counterpart CBD will oxidise and degrade. ![Screenshot_20220803-104128_Chrome](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/3/4/234d05ac2c6e62807e435a8fbd92ac52b9f11628.jpeg) You want at least 90% of the hairs to be red. If you want couchlock let like 20% of the trichomes ON THE BUD (not the sugar leaves) turn amber. ---

At least, it doesn’t look like foxtailing so things are good. Lets grab a few more opinions tho. @Covertgrower@PurpNGold74@MidwestGuy @Myfriendis410 can you please look at plant above and offer an estimate of time for maturation? ---

I’d let it run out some more. A couple of weeks sounds about right. ---

I agree, lots of white pistils still, and they’ll gain some weight after they swell. ---

CBD is harvested earlier than THC plants. You will need to sign into YouTube to watch but it a good educational video.
