It depends. If you want a more energizing effect, harvest now. If you want a more physical effect, wait until 50-75% brown

It sounds as if you're in the perfect spot to harvest NOW - you want to see about 10-20% amber!! ... if you wait longer, the THC content will start to degrade... CHOP! Good luck!

Three days of darkness before harvest...water them or not?
Going to do three days of complete darkness before harvesting. Question is... Should I water them once right before the three days of darkness and let them sit in the dark, then clip. Or Let them dry up for two day under lights and then sit them for another three in the dark.

Harvest ready. Watered this morning. Wait an extra day?
My OG Kush are ready! Trichomes are all cloudy with a good little of amber. Pistils are >70% brown and she looks nice. I watered this morning and the pot is still feeling heavy. Should I chop tomorrow morning or give it an extra dry out day? Does it matter? Anything else?

Do most strains’ buds really swell and fill out in the last 2-3 weeks of flowering? And I read articles that were against topping auto’s even once because of the stress, but I know others do it. Better yield or nah? (For future reference)

I have been watering with just water and Ph down.... can't really flush a plant with CRF additives. This is my Ripest plant, was not going to water her tonight, it's been 4 days. Should I start Cutting the upper Buds? Will I be able to drop my lights and get the lower buds?

Should I harvest?
So the main cola looks already done already with some amber trichomes but the other colas still have some white pistils. Should I harvest now or wait more till there's no more white pistils?

Is it time to harvest yet or should I wait a bit longer?
At the moment I'm seeing 89% cloudy, 10% red and 1% clear trichomes. It is not very clear from the photos but from what I'm seeing through the magnifying lens this is how it seems. There is significant yellowing but also many white pistils.

How much more time for this stunted growth?
Looking at photos, weeks, trichomes - some are milky some are transparent. The main cola has evolved, remaining colas are growing. The plant was stunted due to excess nutrition and PH earlier, that's why small plant. So how many days more till I chop?(30%ember?but still estimate)

Hey what happen if you don't flush?
And if I flush days before harvesting, and then I just want to harvest partially, since I want the buds on the bottom to keep developing which I think she can do so cuz she's really going on very well.
