Hey growmie, you’re right in that classic “why won’t they turn amber already” phase 😅 Been there plenty of times.
Honestly, at this point there’s not a whole lot you can force. Once they’re cloudy, you’re basically waiting on a slow natural fade - it’s more about the plant aging than “ripening faster.”
If I were in your shoes, I’d just keep things steady and maybe give it a gentle nudge:
Let temps dip a bit, especially at night (cooler nights seem to help them finish out)
Don’t push the light harder - if anything, backing it off slightly is better than blasting them
Keep feeding light / low nitrogen if you’re still feeding at all
Good airflow, keep humidity in check - just clean conditions while you wait it out
All that stuff like UV, far-red, stressing them, or dark periods… I’ve tried some of it over runs, and honestly, nothing really forces amber faster in a meaningful way. Mostly bro science or tiny effects at best.
Big thing too - some strains just don’t go heavy amber. You might only ever see like 5–10%, and they’ll sit cloudy for ages. And cloudy is basically peak THC anyway, so you’re already in the sweet spot.
From your pics, you look super close. I’d just give it another few days to a week and keep checking the calyx trichs (not the sugar leaves) - that’s where people get tricked into waiting too long.
You’ve done the hard part already. Now it’s just patience 👍
