Do trichomes of CBD plants change color?
Dizzy_Dstarted grow question 4y ago
Do trichomes of CBD strains also change color to amber at the end of flowering?
It is the first time I grow a CBD strain (RQS Joanne's CBD).
For THC strains I check for amber trichomes to time harvest just right. But is this the same for CBD cannabis?

Depending on strain, yes.
More amber trichomes = more CBD and CBN.

Yes trichomes are trichomes. No difference on how they mature.

Hey bud
There is no difference between cbd and thc strains when harvesting. The trichomes says when they are ready and reached their full potential.
Hope it helped

Should I flush now and harvest in a couple weeks or is she ready? Seems early, but trichomes are milky and a small amount are amber already.Seedbank says "flowering time 7-9 wks". She didn't flower until week 5, so that tells me she should have like 4-6 weeks left. Could she be ready half way thru week 8, after flowering for 3.5 weeks and does that mean I missed the opportunity to flush? :( TIA!Week 7
