Hello my friend The best way to judge the maturity of plants is to look at the resin glands, also called trichomes. Using a microscope ideally with 100x magnification, you can easily determine the condition of the resin glands and avoid having to guess. Trichomes go through 3 different stages 1. TRANSPARENT Transparent trichomes only contain precursor cannabinoids that are not psychoactive. Harvesting at this stage will not give you a very powerful product👍 2. MILKY Milky resin glands contain fully ripe THC. To get buds as powerful as possible, you need to get as close as possible to 100% milky trichomes. Note that it is impossible to obtain 100% milky trichomes, as new resin glands are continuously produced. Likewise, even after harvest, the trichomes will continue to develop.👍 3. AMBER Amber colored resin glands are a sign that THC has been converted to CBN, a degraded form of THC. This means that your product has lost much of its potency. CBN is not desirable in any crop, as its effects are more narcotic than a true elevation.👍 Me personally I like harvested ais around 15 to 30% amber but that is just a preference 😉 Take care May the force be with you 💪

Hi Argocann Hi mate congrats great job on that Beauty. Mate would love to be able to see some Trichomes pictures so I can help more accurately. But she looks really close to harvest from what I can see. 10% amber Trichomes and 90% milky colour Trichomes you are done. Hope this helps and good luck with finishing her off. Happy Growing
