Do all autoflowers produce amber trichomes?
cactoman420started grow question 3 years ago
So I am approaching 15+ weeks on this plant and there is not a single amber trichome to be found anywhere.... The plant absolutely stinks and there are tons of milky trichomes so I am wondering if some strains just don't turn amber?

Correct, some strains will never have amber trichomes and some will have 70%+ amber after only 4 weeks of flowering, it is all down to genetics.
This is why I am continually advocating for not basing your entire decision on when to harvest based ONLY on trichome colour.
Once the plant has 98-99% brown pistils, they are in the "ready zone".

I'd say she ready unless you want to push another week? x

No clue, tbh... but I WILL say I think you could harvest now and have a magnificent result... you'll get more cerebral effects without any amber (no couch lock) so it's going to depend on what you want from your smoke. If you really want more body relaxing effects, wait another week, maybe two .... you'll probably see some amber. I'd check DAILY - 'cause some strains happen to mature REALLY quickly when you think all is lost....
Good luck - nice NICE looking grow!

Your opinions on when to harvestHi, I'd really like to know your opiniions on harvest. As a newbie I'm still trying to figure out when to chop her down. My goal is a strong psychoactive high with some body relexation (maybe 20% amber?). I think I will give her another week. What do you guys think? Thanks!Week 13

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?Buds. Other
