bruxupanswered grow question 3 years ago You can check once or twice per day, but if they are all still clear you may still be a week or more out before majority of them are cloudy. It is also good to check different areas of the plant, and not just focus on one spot. This will give you a better idea of how far along the entire plant is. Once majority of trichomes are cloudy and more and more amber start to pop up, you will want to check more frequently until you decide to harvest. How many cloudy and amber trichomes there are before you chop it down is up to your own preference. Hope this helps, and good luck with the grow. Cheers!
