When the plant has 95-99% brown pistils. This will correspond with the oft quoted "10-30% amber trichomes" zone without even having to look at the trichomes.

Hello!!! Harvest when 80-90% of the trichomes are milky and about 10% of the trichomes are amber, to achieve the original effect of each strain. Use a magnifying glass to clearly see the trichomes. Good luck!

Your diary is really hard to figure out here.... I have NO idea how many weeks she's been in flower - but the best way to tell if she's ready to chop is to take a very close look at the trichomes on the buds.. get a jewelers loupe or something like that to get in close... If the trichomes are all milky, she would be ready if all you want is a head high from the smoke. If you want some relaxation as well, you want to wait for about 10-20% of the trichs to become amber... Any amount of amber over that is going to start putting you on the couch - but perhaps that's what you want... All up to you.... Good luck!
