This strain usually takes around 80 to 90 days into flowering, today marks the 65 th day into flowering and the buds seems ready for harvest. Amber started on trichomes should I harvest or wait couple of days?

You have a long time remaining. You should not frustrate yourself thinking about harvesting at this point. you have several weeks remaining trichomes turn color thorughout grow. most don't realize it because they only look at the end.. you only see the top layer of calyxes/trichomes. There's amber long before those last few weeks, trust me. You just can't see it buried underneath a mass of plant material. trichomes pistils density of colas use all three to determine harvest. you can even clip things off to test early-to-late harvest for your own preferences.. but if oyu took some off now i guarantee disappointment. Even when it looks ripe to teh eye (ignoring the 3 metrics above), it probably has 1-2 weeks remaining. pistils should not be long and white (optical illusion, they don'w shrink, the calyx plumps around it, then the pistils coil up later on too).

Hey dude, I would say that it really depends on your taste. I usually wait until all the pistils are either brown or gone, and it tends to coincide with the amber trichomes, but that also depends on the genetics, so it’s up to each person. Euphoric effect, cerebral, milky white, almost amber, and the more amber, the more narcotic. That's my perception. Keep it up and good vibes! 😎

How are you checking the trichs friend? I usually start checking when nearly all pistles are coloured and receded, I bought a USB microscope from amazon, it has a connector to fit your phone, its a great but of kit and cheap too When you check it's more personal preference some like cloudy and some like amber in the mix too, but you make it how you want it 😎😎😎 Good luck and hope you achieve what you desire 😎😎😎

It's still very early, I'd estimate about 2 or more weeks, and your buds aren't ripe yet. Where do you see amber trichomes? I haven't even noticed any milky ones. Remember, red or amber hairs are not trichomes; your buds still have predominantly white hairs. You should wait until your buds have around 50-70% red/amber hairs before using a microscope to check the trichomes

You can harvest if there are amber trichomes. The days indicated by the seed bank may vary.
