First grower here, trying to figure out when to chop my Auto Brooklyn Sunrise. It gets only phd water for 10 days now. What do you guys think? Macro photos of a sugar leaf taken from the mid part of a side cola.

I would say you're with in 10 days. I would keep monitoring your trichomes. I like just a few more ambers than you got, not very many more, but more. There were several shots of clear mixed with cloudy too. You def want more cloudy. If it is possible get a couple of shots of the trichs on the inside of the buds themselves. Sometimes sugar leaves will amber up from bruising in my opinion where your bud trichs wont lie to you... I would say in each one of those pictures (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12) you want at least 1 or 2 trichs that look like the ones in Picture #2 & #4. You are so close. The difference of another week is going to stone you so much more... Some people like the racy buzz, which I would say your in the middle of now. If you had to pick it today it would do you ok. - - Log story short - Check your Trichomes every 2 to 3 days from here on out. AND 10 days to 2 weeks.

depends when those lily white pistils formed.. if still part of initial wave of bud development, i'd wait longer... if it's a new wave of recent growth caused by stress or light or genetics, then i'd consider how that impacts the bulk of your bud mass and make a personal choice on the matter. your personality will be key.. because there's no solid info on this sort of complicated context to make more than an educated guess as to what is best. might as well do what makes you feel right in that type of situation, lol.

Some tips to know when to harvest: 1. The pistilis (white hairs will turn orange and curl) 2. More importantly the trichomes should all be milky. Since trichomes turn from transparent to milky to amber at different times you should aim for 20% amber trichomes before you harvest. The later the harvest the heavier of a body high you will have (usually associated with indica strains). If you harvest earlier, you will have more of a head high (usually associated with sativa strains) so after all it all depends on what you want to get but definitely leave them a couple more days because of all your pictures only 2 show an amber trichome. Good luck on the last part of your grow and enjoy the yield 😍

You can not get a accurate reading off the leaves, you need to look at the actual bud itself to judge trichromes. But fron looking at plant is is starting to foxtail. So I would harvest very soon. Within next few days for sure at most.

trichomes half clear/cloudy harvest at this stage produce more energetic / speedy high +80% sativa Highest level of THC when most trichomes are milky/cloudy this stage produce greatest euphoria and pain relieving effects sativa/hybrid trichomes become more amber this stage produce relaxing couchlock reduces anxiety perfect for Indica BTW check the buds not sugar leaves becouse sugar leaves turn cloddy/amber faster then buds
