When Will the Trichomes be Ready for Couch Lock?

I am hoping to achieve the really nice couch lock anti anxiety effects of OG Kush. Ive read for the more narcotic effect the trichomes should be more amber. Ive got 2 OG Kush phenotypes flowering, 7 weeks. Can anyone tell me how much longer I have left until harvest? Thank you 🙏

Hi, for “couch lock” you want at least 20-40% amber trichomes on the buds. Good luck! ✌️🏻💚🌿

That´s the hardest, to be patient an the end. :) I would wait until 20-30 % amber then only water for a week or so - but i grow on soil maybe you flush then?

so you may have 6-7 weeks left looking at the strain info. the amber tris you will get by waiting until then. so you are half way there. your plant is looking good for the age, great job so far and you will be really happy come harvest time. 6-7 weeks longer and the wait is worth it. happy growing

How fast it grows and matures to your liking will be a matter of how well you maintain a good growing environment. Also looks like you might be a pinch low on phosphorus. They like elevated amounts of phosphorus and potassium during flowering. More so the farther in. Use a 60x jeweler's eye to examine trichromes . Will likely take longer since your wanting a more mature trichrome amount (amber color). At about 30 to 50 percent of the plant is amber do a flush and let fade 2 weeks. Extended darkness prior to cutting down and cooler temperatures help finish it off. Good luck and happy growing. 🌲🌲🌲👊

If you are after a really heavy type of stone with anti-anxiety properties, wait until all the pistils on your flowers have turned brown. This will ensure that the flowers will have reduced THC content and elevated CBD and CBN levels that will give you the type of effect you are seeking. Once the plant has passed its reproductive peak, as indicated by the brown pistils, more THC is breaking down into CBD and CBN than is being formed from new and this is what causes the heavy, couch locking effect with the anti-anxiety properties being attributed to the elevated levels of CBN and CBD, thereby producing the therapeutic effect you want. Hope this helps,...... Organoman.
