So this is my first grows and its about time to harvest probs at the end of the week. Im new so i dont wanna do it to early I’m around the 9 week mark. I can also see that the trichomes are somewhat cloudy and some also have amber too which is a sign. Dont wanna cut it early so i need some advice and tips! ![3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/c/c/7/cc75096f8adcc2175e8d5a8d268ffa9d4781195f.jpeg) ![4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/9/c/19cd9b67c189444f14e3cb9ea33686431203db4c.jpeg) ---

All cloudy and amber will be your highest thc and cbd level lots of amber equals couch lock ---

Have any pics of the trichs using a microscope or loupe. We love pot porn pics. ![3ogwFYJ79T43JQ07mM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/2/f/3/2f31017128054e3de7e62125a87fdf9986b0f4c8.gif) ---

If your top buds are ready… harvest them … then repeat as needed for the remainder imho just a suggestion ---

Your trich pics are a little blurry for my old eyes but I think your in the harvest window, a few more days won’t hurt… Autos can sometimes be a bit slow to amber up. Get a plan for chopping and drying and go for it ---

If it were mine, I’d be chopping. But I like max THC, and not so much couch lock. ![when-to-harvest-cannabis-diagram](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/6/5/8/6580ed094de13cd3063a8d5e310bd9480c716ccf.jpeg) ---

A USB microscope can be had for short $, 25 to 40. Easy to take photo images and less blur. Just search “USB microscope” most provide a stand. ---

Chop that plant before its too late all your stipules are red and by the looks of them they have been like that for at least a week unless you love being locked in your couch for hours on end
