Mimosa x Orange Punch #2

Wow you have really nice buds! I’ll bet you had a hell of a harvest. Did you really let it flower for 16 - 17 weeks? My Orange x Mimosa is in its 8th week of flowering. I’m pretty happy with how the buds look. The trichomes look mostly cloudy with some in the early stages of turning amber. What did you look for when deciding when to harvest? Was it the trichomes? Or did you watch for the plants to show signs that it was reaching its end? Thank you.
