Flowering time is said to be 60-70 days, today is day 62. I've seen a lot on the trichomes and when to harvest but I don't quite have the eye for it yet as it's my first time. Would you guys say these are ready or should I go a few more days. Thanks in advance for any help!

Its not just trichomes you check for harvest time. Will also want to look at how much its drinking, its pistil dry back and how dense the buds are. Ideally it is not drinking a lot as its done growing, the pistils will be around 80% dried and the buds are as dense as they are going to get, this is all in conjunction with the trichomes colour. Some times just one metric works other times need multiple. You can harvest a bit before its window period. its still going to get you high. cloudy and amber trichomes are degradation clear ones have max thc in them. But its not just about THC. a mix of THC,CBD,CBN and w/e elce it makes is the goal. a nice melody of all. Leave it on the plant where all the trichomes are amber and it will be very sedative weed as most of the THC will degrade into CBN Good Luck!

In micro photo you have sugar leaf. You dont check any leaf trichomes, you check buds calaxies and trichomes on it, not on leaf. By look to eye they still have a week, by maturity of trichs i cant tell. If you see most milky and a bit of ambers - thats perfect time.

High KingMickey, You still need about 1 or 2 weeks to go. The best way to tell that a plant is ready for harvest is with a pocket microscope (60x is perfect). The trichomes change color from uripe (clear as glass) to ripe (milky white) to expired (amber brown). When 80% from the trichomes are milky white it is the perfect time to harvest. But if you do not want to use a microscope then the pistils (brown hairs) are the second best indicator. When 80-90% from the pistils are brown it is time to harvest. You still need 1 to 2 weeks till the ideal time for harvest. The buds look great buddy! Enjoy the harvest! 💚

needs more time, the trichome looks mostly clear, the 60-70 days are values ​​under optimal conditions (or selling point). It usually takes longer to be ready to harvest.
