gdogfunkanswered grow question 4 years ago They are definitely getting close. You should invest in a cheap jewelers loupe from amazon and use that to check the trichomes. If they are all cloudy, without any clear trichome heads, you are in the harvest window. If you see a lot of amber, you are later in the harvest window. If you harvest when the trichomes are still clear and only partly cloudy, you will have a racing, anxiety, more paranoid high. All cloudy is perfect for smoking. A little amber, up to 20% is good for a little extra punch and if you let it go mostly amber, you will have major couch lock. When you harvest in the window is up to you. I hope this helps!
