)?

You do have some time left. Hereās how I evaluate trichs:
- Clear trichs look like glass
- Cloudy trichs look like plastic
- Amber trichs lookā¦ well amber

Pretty sure (99.99%). That cbd shouldnāt be allowed to amber much at all. When mostly Cloudy or all Cloudy harvest. Since with cbd you donāt want any cbn necessarily. Not that Iāve done the research to even know what cbd degrades to. Technically when trics amber the thc is degrading to cbnā¦ when talking about cbd I donāt think you would want any degradation. Unlike thc plants where consumers want the ācouch lockā provided from cbn. Which is only acquired by letting the thc degrade to cbn. Technically any amber is a less potent product when speaking strictly in terms of cbd and thc. Any amount of amber means you have lost some thc or cbd. Also there is a benefit with the thc, since it degrades to cbn. For all I know cbd does too. But cbd users arenāt trying to get āhighā.
Based off the pictures, if I was growing cbd. Iād be harvesting today. Looks perfect.
But. Again. Never grown cbd.

Yes. Mostly Cloudy is most thc and most cbd. Amber brings in cbn. Which in my experience isnāt present in cbd products. So one would assume cbd should be harvested once mostly Cloudy. Before amber.
Edit. Op plant is appearing clear, but if you donāt account for aging during drying/cure. You have been just guessing this whole time and are wrong about your final product.

Iāve been thinking about this. I even did a small experiment and it showed trichomes do continue to develop after chop

@Budz - thanks. Iāve always understood cloudy/milky is the time to chop. How much more trich development is expected as itās drying/curing?

See what @Budz says, but in my experiment it seemed to have stopped after 5 days, but I did not test past that.
Two weeks. At least. As they all say anyway. Once you have a solid 62% it slows.

Oh and you can always get more amber after harvest. With UVā¦ itās common knowledge that light degrades thc. But thatās a horribly loose statement. The truth is, UV light degrades THC to CBN. For many, this would be a good thing. So everyone stop worrying about your dry area being dark. Lol.
Unless you want your bud to be speedy, the degrading of thc is what you actually wantā¦ one of the few things I learned where common wrong knowledgeā¦
Drying and curing is super simple. The community makes it seem hard for no reason.
It still has a long way to go at least a few weeks to go
@MrPeat @Fergus I believe do alot of CBD so they would be ones to ask on the trics. As far as I know of u harvest a CBD plant the same as u do a canna plant Amber usually does mean degraded trics but some degraded to get more matured might be the way to go. Take some at different times and see whatās best for u and what u want. Take a branch a week til u say okay it all has to come down now. Then when u find the best high u want uāll know what to look for in the tricomes. Good luck
