How long would you guess this plant has left? Today marks 85 days since she sprouted.

Based on these pics how much longer would you guess this plant needs? I'm seeing a lot of cloudy trichs, still some clear trichs but hardly any amber.

Remember too, not all strains of cannabis develop amber trichomes. Harvesting a bit early is much better than harvesting too late while waiting for amber trichomes to appear. Waiting too long means the plant gets closer and closer to death, and a plant closing in on death can not support healthy cannabinoids. The amount of second grade over ripe pot that I see on this forum while people wait far too long for a mythical "30% amber" is depressing. Fine if you want dope that puts you to sleep, but most people I know like to get high, not drowsy and dreary. 10% amber is great pot. Waiting too long for a strain that does not have the genetic capacity to produce amber trichomes will lead to harvesting over ripe pot. Amber trichomes consist mainly of CBD, CBN and CBG, all these cannabinoids are non psychoactive, meaning they do not get you high, but they do produce a relaxing and sleepy narcotic effect. If you want peak THC, don't delay, harvest now and enjoy the fruits of your labor would be my advice. If you prefer something that puts you to sleep, wait 1-2 weeks. Why not harvest some now and some in a week and the rest in 2 weeks and find out for yourself what the different stages of maturity produce stone wise and then let those results guide your harvest timing in future, depending on which YOU prefer? Hope this helps, Organoman.

I would be happy to harvest right now, leaving her any much longer will see THC levels drop and CBD and CBN levels rise, giving you sleepy dope rather than kapow brain blasting pot.

About 2 weeks left depending on ripeness you desire. Mouse left a nice internet answer, but from experience you have 2 weeks left. I personally like about 10 to 25 percent amber trichromes the rest cloudy. Only check the buds and not sugar leaves in multiple spots. A jeweler's loupe is inexpensive and works great for this. Worth the few dollar investment if you are going to continue growing. Flower looks nice and frosty. Will be some good smoke. Keep your humidity down especially now. 40 to 50 percent.

Depending on where these where taken I would say anywhere from 1week to 3weeks. You should judge the trichomes on the buds only and not the sugar leaves from my understanding. It should also be noted that the top most buds will ripen faster then the lower ones. Some people who two chops, one for top growth wait a week and one for bottom growth. I would wait a bit more and keep monitoring them. Their is nothing to say chopping at all cloudy is bad either. If anything you have a higher amount of THC then vs when amber start to hit. Good Luck!
