Harvest advice on trichome maturity

Getting towards the end of grow , always controversial, any question I have has 4 different answers haha. Percentage of trichomes amber, when to cut. Hydroponic store up street says 30%, another grow store says 10%. Starting to see about 10-15% amber as we speak. I’d prefer psychoactive versus couch lock. Advice and thanks in advance!!!

They are gorgeous :heart_eyes: awesome work. I like to chop mostly cloudy with a few amber. But if you want it to be more relaxing wait it out. The more amber the more CBN will be present.

Thanks low, I’m going to flush for a couple days, and cut a couple for experimentation purposes, I think they’ll rock!!

If I know I’m going to be sitting on a harvest for a while, I’ll try to chop when it’s mostly cloudy, cuz it will degrade over time.

Those are absolutely gorgeous gals right there. I have read that you wait for 30% of them to be Amber for the ultimate buzz. Each color stage delivers a different type of feel. I googled the heck of it trying to find an article that explains each one and had no luck. But you might have better key words than me. I also just found out that the shape of the trichomes is also telling. Haven’t read about it yet, but that’s another google search for ya.

Alot of things are growers choice which is why differing answers.
All Milky - Peak THC
All Milky with just a bit of Amber - Just starting to degrade, Combo of High THC and a bit of body buzz
All Milky with 10-15% amber - Leaning more toward couch lock - This is where I chop
All Milky with 30%+ Amber - Super couch lock and reaaly starting to degrade now - must chop!!

And of course a good chart that gets posted frequently
