1st off sorry for asking such newbie questions. These close ups are from the top most buds. I know I'm supposed to be looking for 10% amber. My question is how fast do trichombs mature. I don't want to miss my window. Planning to chop in 10 days. Should I go sooner? Hold off?

I am seeing a good amount of amber in the 2nd pic and in the 1st pic where are some weird dark spots that I do not like. Look into that and confirm it is not rotting. As for trichome ripeness. mostly cloudy is fine, peak THC is clear just before it turns cloudy and cloudy is some degradation and amber is more so. Also harvest using many indicators not just trichomes. Like pistil dry back and growth habits. eg not growing/drinking much more, buds getting denser. Pistil dry back should be around 80% ish. and plants should be up taking up less water then normal for temps and RH respectivley. Good Luck!

You have a little time time. normally a little soon to harvest in week 6 but they are starting to look close I think 10 days sounds about right. You have about a week after they are prime before a lot of them will be amber and not as strong.
