Trichomes

Thanks for the responses folks. @fruitgrower I didnt know that the sugar leaves that close to the flowers would ripen any faster than the flower itself. @mvgenetics yep you figured it out. 9th week total from seed. So. I am looking for not so much couch lock but more of a relaxing/calming head high.

your on the right track by looking at the trichomes, what you want to see is they will expand and start filling up like balloons, the first stage is they start clear, then they turn milky cloudy, the last stage is amber, this is where the plant has reached the max thc for the plant, so you want about 20% amber or more for tis to happen, the cloudy milky trichomes mean the plant can be harvested and you will get more a head high but if you wait til the trichomes are amber you will have a stronger high perhaps a couch lock. what i am seeing is you have 3-4 weeks left and based on the strain info and where your at in the grow your right on track. you have come this far so why not wait a few more weeks. your almost to the finish line, happy soon to be harvest, a job well done

It's definitely not coming down yet. I reckon you've got another 4 or 5 weeks or so. Don't check the trichomes on the leaves, they will always be ready first and no need to check them until your buds are looking more and more like buds🌱👍

You ccan see whether it's getting to the end or not, by looking at the pistils. - As long as they're all white, it got plenty of time to grow, once it starts to wither more than it producces, it's nearing the end but still have some time to grow, and once it completely stops producing new pistils. It's stopped growing the buds bigger. Tho, there can be a few exceptions where it suddenly produces new pistils again, it's not something to count on.

It’s only the 9th week total or 9th week in flower (12/12)? That will help me a lot on the answer.. but honestly either way I can already tell she needs quite a few more weeks, lots of love and nutes and light and she’ll fatten up in the last few weeks of flower for sure. 👍🏻 Hope this helps brother, definitely let those trichs become all cloudy, maybe 25-50% amber, depending what your preference of high is.
