m0useanswered grow question 4 days ago Are these trichomes from the buds?? and if yes, where on the plant?
The top most buds will ripen faster then the bottom ones and only trichomes on the buds should be looked at vs sugar leaves with regards to trichome ripeness.
Judge your harvest window buy a few things. Trichome colours. Bud density and Pistils dry back.
Ideally aorund 80% of the pistils have dried back, the buds and nice and dense and the plant is drinking less water now and not growing all that much, The trichomes are mostly milky with some amber in the mix. I like mine about 10% or less amber. The colour is degradation of cannaboids. more amber, more THC getting turned into CBN. Even cloudy has some degradation. You may also notice the plant is fading in the leaves as well.
When looking at your plants in the diary I'd say another week or two. But even if you wanted to chop now. you would still be happy with the result of a the buds after a nice cure. Good looking plants you did well on this.
Good Luck!
