Harvest time indicator

The thing is every bud/cola is ready at a slighlty different time, in nature the sun rises in west sets in east this arc motion allows for a broad even spread, because when we grow inside we have one directional radiation, trichomes themselves decay like any other organism, excessive heat accelerates cell decay, one set of buds closer to the lightsource will decay much faster once ripened than anywhere else on the plant. Dont be afraid to let one cola slighlty over cook to ensure the rest is where you want it to be.

Pistils turned colour and curling in, bud stopping to swell - usually this goes pretty well hand in hand with trichomes though with some turning amber majority being cloudy unless there's a lot of foxtailing or other late phase new growth happening in which case I usually go by the majority of the plant.

Depend of your taste, trichomes is used to know the best moment regarding THC and other cannabinoids, but you can use your noze every day by putting your fingers on the bud and smell accurately. (hand washed for sure ! ) Also you can use the senescence, some people wait for the fan leaves gone yellow and plant practically die.. Last you listen to your reason, by learning the plant himself, like a person you want to say "I love you" but you need to wait the best moment to do it, listen to your heart 😌
