Done...any longer and theyll be cooked and start fox tailing. This is good! Ha...its like any art its hard to pull the trigger. But remember too much colour mixing makes brown...keep it simple. This is done and well dont to you for having the patience to wait that extra week.

That looks perfect to me. You can get a scope but only the ones that cost 0s work good in my opinion. So I just go by orange hairs usually and the trichomes by naked eye. If it’s 90%-95% orange and curled in they r ready. The occasional white hair can ripen in drying. Exlclude fox tails. That’s a whole other ball game but I just snip them off and look at the rest of the plants hairs.

Hi, Cannabis plants are usually harvested when the trichomes show the right level of maturity. When the trichomes are still clear, the plant is not ready yet. Once most trichomes turn milky/white, the THC content is at its highest and you’ll get an energetic, head-focused effect. If more trichomes become amber, the effect will be heavier, more relaxing and body-focused. A good balance for most growers is around 70% milky and 20–30% amber trichomes before harvest. Happy Harvest 😊

This would be my preferred level of ripeness.......head high, maximum THC and minimal CBD. Wait another 7-10 days if you prefer a sleepy/heavier "couchlock" effect with increased CBD and reduced THC levels.

scope and react... don't make it a decision. It's a reaction. just draw a line in the sand and stick to it... adjust in future if needed.

Looking frosty as hell! 🔥 Judging by the trichomes, they’re mostly cloudy with a few amber — which is a good sign if you’re aiming for a balanced high. If you want more of that heavy, sedating effect, you could wait 5–7 more days to let more amber come in. But if you’re happy with a more uplifting/clear-headed result, you could definitely pull the trigger now. Personally, I’d give it one last week. let those buds fatten just a little more. You’re super close either way!

Commercially produced weed is usually harvested at peak milky, as this is when the THC content is at its highest. The more amber you see, the more CBN, which leads to couchlock. After milky comes amber, you seem to be at the white peak IMO. chopchop! looks yummi!

Trichome Heads: clear - unfinished (less THC) milky - finished (most THC) amber - over (oxidizing) If you want a strong product, wait till you see the most milky (some still clear, some already amber)

I think she looks ready to harvest. But it’s up to your preference like PeguPoop said.

it seems mostly milky, so you could chop her if you prefer more amber, wait a few days you could also chop one and wait with the other for more amber, especially if its the same strain
