Update on trichome maturity

I believe I’m going to chop today before the lights come on! They all look cloudy. Today marks exactly 56 days, or end of 8th week

I still see lots of clear. Give it a few more days. You’ll be glad you did.

Looks way too clear to me. I’d say 5-7 days to go for a more balanced and potent effect. Almost there.

Be sure you are looking at the trichomes on the bud. The trichomes mature faster on the sugar leaves than on the bud. Looking really nice and frosty :victory_hand:t3::blush:

Do you have pictures of the whole plant and some bud pictures. You want nearly all the white hairs to turn brown and recede then start checking trichomes.

I’m gonna be an outlier wrt the amber mantra.

Amber trichomes are degraded trichomes.

Solid advice from the other members. Harvesting too soon or before at least 85-90% of the trichomes are ripe can give you a paranoid type of buzz and make your heart race. I give them an extra week even when I think they’re ready :love_you_gesture:

In the words of that Doc guy, 2 weeks! Seriously though, amber does NOT mean degrading or bad, amber just indicates they are plenty ripe and will not give you racy highs, headaches and as Dell said paranoia. You’re in the harvest window, but you will be glad if you give them a bit more time!:+1::oncoming_fist: At least let all the clear go milky or cloudy.

I would say not degraded, but a metamorphosis into a better balanced high.

That would be a big mistake. Not even close to ready. I see clear trichomes and some that are only slightly cloudy. Harvesting is not an exact science, but this is definitely not mature.

I took everyone’s advice, gave her more time before chopping and I’m glad I did. Here’s an update on the trichomes…
