She is max a week away till the end. I had hairy strains or tent to mini foxtail strains wich never stoped packing new pistils, that not the main sighn, it could be very strain dependant ! Nice girl ! Happy Chopping !!!!

If you go to 11/13 she will stop re-flowering and finish maturing. Personally, I harvest when there are 95-98% brown pistils, regardless of trichome colour, as this is when the plant has maximum THC. Besides, not all plants get amber trichomes. Some others can have 80% amber/brown trichomes after only 4 weeks in flower! Once the plant has 100% brown pistils, it is near death and a near death plant can not support healthy THC, leading to buds with elevated CBD and CBN levels, making you very relaxed/sleepy/couch locked/comatosed, but not very high. If I were you, I would also be doing everything to lower the humidity further, some of those old yellow leaves are showing signs of fungal attack.

Hey Dills. Just make sure your judging the trichs on the buds, not on the leaves. And the answer is yes, go by the % of ambering and cloudiness on the calyxes. If you let them go to far past 20 to 30% amber, then you run the risk of that 20 to 30% degrading, as you wait on more to color up.

Yes go by the trichomes, the white hairs or pistils on the plant are not the best indicator of when its ready to harvest. I like 10-30% amber, the rest cloudy. The highest part of the plant will be ready before the bottom half. This is why people like even canopies to prevent this problem. but I chop it as a whole vs two parts even if its all over the place. Happy Growing
