Would 3-4 more weeks be a good guess as to harvest time?

Hey buddie, The grows looking great so far. I see some amber tops showing up but they seem mostly on sugar leaves versus on the buds, and that's usually where they show up the most first. So definitely wait till your seeing them closer in on the flowers. With the nice color change in pistils and the tops of the trichromes getting nice and bulbous I'd say at least about 3 weeks(maybe a touch sooner or later). Just keep checking several different bud sites with the close up and start planning for any sort of flush if that's part of your process. Happy harvesting. ✌️

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 😉 Good luck for your grow bro 👍 may the force be with you 💪
