Its kinda hard to judge based on the pictures but if you ask me id let them go for another week or two. Most of the trichomes look on the milky/clear sight. Personally i would wait until i see 70% Milky 30 % Amber but thats personal preferance

You sure you checked an untouched area? The early amber could be oxidation from damaging them. They are a bit milky now, not glassy anymore. Maybe in a week? Bit less or more? You could start flushing imo

Hey there, According to Fastbuds, the strain has an estimated flowering time of 9 weeks. Although this is just an estimate, the actual time to harvest can vary depending on various factors such as growing conditions, nutrient availability, and overall plant health. To determine the optimal harvest time, you should closely examine the trichomes on your buds. The color of the trichomes can give you a good indication of the plant's maturity and the type of effects you can expect from the final product. Judging from the pictures you provided it's a little early for you to chop her down, since most of the trichomes appear to be clear with some milky and amber Harvesting when most trichomes are milky/cloudy will provide the most potent psychoactive effects, often described as an uplifting and euphoric high. This is typically the ideal time to harvest for most growers seeking maximum potency. Since your grow is at week 9 from seed and shows mostly clear and some amber trichomes, it suggests that the plants are still maturing. I'd advise to wait a little longer. Look for a shift towards more milky/cloudy trichomes with a small percentage of amber ones. Once you observe that most trichomes have turned milky/cloudy with a small percentage of amber, it will likely be the optimal time to harvest for a balanced, potent effect. If you prefer a more sedative experience, wait until you see a higher percentage of amber trichomes. Good luck with your harvest! Cheers, D.
