Ready to harvest?

Trying to get a sense of when to start the harvest, I've read like 30-40% amber but also just when all the trichomes are cloudy, could use some assistance. Thank you! Grow diary week 11 has more pics for reference.

Yoo! I saved that picture and zoomed in. Not seeing much clear trikes and very few amber. Its up to you now. Experiment with it. If you want a larger level of body stone (higher CBN) which not many folks like because it makes you pass out cold sleepy instead of stimulating the mind then wait for more amber. Wait for that golden hue on the bud. Otherwise if you want peak thc potency just look for max clear trikes. I like to wait until its noticeable in an iphone picture that 15-20% of the trikes are amber.

You want majority cloudy or starting to discolor when 10-15-% are amber usually the majority of your glands will be in peek canaboids

hey there rividium , all cloudy no clears at all is peak potency, some ambers are fine, but the THC is in the milkies. Usually you would be harvesting in some 10 days from now, maybe less, you have to check the trichomes to tell really. Hope this helps ! 🚀

I'm currently a little further ahead then you on my northern lights auto. I'm on day 91 and mine are getting chopped around day 95. I could let it go a little longer really. I think you will find yours needs a few more weeks also.

Hi, There shouldn't be any crystal clear trichomes. Those don't do much. They should all be white at least. If you allow for some ambers to show you'll have a more balanced high. I like letting it go a bit to amber so that I don't get paranoia for example.

you can harvest anytime between when the trichrome are moslty milky and when you get 20% amber trichrome. More cloudly, more energetic high, more amber more couchlock high.
