Hi there! I'd recommend to harvest as soon as possible. Amber trichomes are signs of over-maturity, THC production has reached it's peak and is now lowing down. On the other hand, waiting a few more days after amber trichomes has appeared, will give you more CBN&CBD. Two important things to consider : the strain you're growing + the effects you're looking for. Considering you're currently growing an hybrid that is known to have a ‘couch lock’ effect, you shouldn't wait too long otherwise it will only be good at making you sleepy! I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and enjoy your harvest!

In my experience autos always go longer than the breeder advertises. If you’re seeing amber triches you can harvest anytime. Waiting for a higher percentage of triches will give you more of a mellow/sedative high. Harvest with a lower percentage of amber, more energetic. It’s up to you, but fire at will! 👍

Cloudy thricomes are at their peak THC content. Amber thricomes are past their peak and are degrading. You should harvest now.

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!
