Signs of beeing close to Harvest:
Plant is changing color to autumcolor// fading out
Pistils are orange by 75 percent ( not all strains do it...........like gorilla its hard to say here if you look at pistils)
and here we go... the trichomes...... Get a jewelers loupe // magnifier glass to look at trichomes,,, they should be all milky at least
and from here on ( beeing milky) its just your Choice when to chop the ladies
I let you alink here:

It's all depending on your own preference and what you're growing for..
If you're growing to smoke, and want an energetic high, then don't wait for amber.. Go for milky/cloudy trichomes only.
- If you however want to get stoned, then go for amber trichomes. The more amber, the more stoned the high.
- Clear trichomes don't posses much THC, so should be avoided if you want a high at all.
You can mix milky and amber as much as you want, depending on how much of a stoner you want your smoke to be.

Heya!
If you judge by the pistils usually 70-90% ambered is a good time to harvest. The best way is to use a small microscope or jewelers loupe to have a glance at the trichromes. Most people harvest when all the trichromes are milky to 30% amber. If you harvest with more milky trichs it will produce more of a head high effect, where as more amber trichromes will give you the couch lock effect.
I have had plants ready to harvest with lots of white pistils left still and some where they were all brown.
Cheers and good luck!

Light damaged colas, possible hermie or seeding?I underestimated how tall my autos would get in my tent and some colas ended up getting less than an inch from my lights. Most colas were fine but 2 seem to have mutated in some way. Calyxs grew way more leaves and pistils per each individual calyx. Is this a major problem?Week 11
