GMSgrowsanswered grow question 5 years ago Watch for the trichs to start changing to amber, on the buds not the leaves. Can't see from the picture. 20 to 30% amber is when she's ready. Unless you dont want the most potent smoke. Not all wait cuz they dont like the heavier stone. Sometimes I wait most times I dont. I like a motivational buzz, so I take mine when I see the first sign of amber. Cheers
