Trichome evaluation

Hi all,

First time grower here. I have a plant that is near end of flowering stage. I have been checking the trichomes for amber however I ran I to an issue during the spot check…

The sugar leaves is showing lots of Amber heads (40-50%) while the actual buds itself is showing a few dots of amber… most trichrome is now either milky or cloudy.

So my question is am I supposed to use both sugar leaves and buds to determine when to chop? Or maybe just one (buds)?

Thanks a bunch!

Got any pics??

And go buy the buds. Sugar leaf trichomes develop a couple weeks ahead.

Thanks dude, that’s what I thought so I’ll judge bt buds trichs rather than the leaves.

Yeah, definitely go by the buds, and congratulations on having the patience to see it through. I harvested too early when I was a new grower, and so do lots of others. Your prize will be worth your patience!

Thanks Cap! I really hope so. Trust me everytime I look at it I’m tempted also. Glad I got folks here to assist me and bounce things off to.

Best I can do with a cheapo $20 scope

Seeing a looooot of cloudy, tiny bit of Amber, basically no clear. Can you load any individual bud shots?

U mean like this?

That’s a nice looking bud! Still has some white hairs so I would give her a couple of weeks. She’ll fatten up. You won’t be disappointed. Again, very nice looking bud!

Nice buds another week at least

Nice how long in flower is she. Looks super good. Once u get to the 6 week flower area time prolly start cutting them nutes back and avoid the foxtails and stuff. Looks super nice tho good job I’d say between 2 and 3 weeks left on her

She’s about 7 weeks. Thanks for the compliment!

7 weeks total or in flower if total u have a bit left still. Looks gr8 tho. I’m gonna keep following along I love watching others grows and pics good luck

Flower, sorry I wasn’t specific. I vegged for about 5-6 weeks.
