Is this ready to chop? Amber but still a lot of white pistils..

Also, forgot to add! Depending on the genetics, you may still get some white pistils popping even when they are ready. Some people tend to harvest and separate out their flower based on where it grew. For instance, they will have jars labeled Top, Side, and Lower for their buds. More mature probably got more light, near top of canopy and may be further along. It really depends on how OCD you want to let yourself get and if you want to harvest the plant all at once or as the buds ripen over like a week or two period of time.

It depends on what you are going for my friend! I try to think of it this way. Clear = Not Ready. No sweet goodies in the bulbs yet. Milky = Added terps and THC, good for me! Amber = The more amber, the more night-time medicine it becomes for me due to the added CBN conversion. Basically, you want to try and have most of them at milky stage. As little clear, or none if at all possible. As for the amber, that is a personal preference for the kind of smoke you want. More day time, keep it milky and minimal amber (5-10% tops). If you want a nice chill smoke for the night time, wait til around 15-20% amber. These are just basic guidelines that I go by. I hope that helps!
