Six Shooter Auto, nearly there! Other 3 still take a bit longer (but same day germinated). I think day 86 now since seed in soil. Already started flushing this 5gallon grow bag. Much cloudy trichomes, but no amber yet. Around how long? Less then one week or longer? I keep watchin

I’d say your trichomes look pretty good — definitely milky already. You could harvest now, but you could also wait another week. It depends on what you want from the plant: if you prefer a clearer, more uplifting head high, harvest now; if you want more of a body-heavy, slightly stonier effect, wait a bit longer. Personally, I’d recommend waiting another week — maybe even two, depending on how the plant develops. I like to harvest when the trichomes are around 15% amber.👍

This plant is ready and at maximum THC stage. Leaving it longer will only produce over ripe buds with reduced THC, increased CBD and give you a sleepy couchlock effect........which you may prefer........if so, give it another 7-10 and then harvest. Personally, I would harvest now or in the next day or two, but I prefer to get high, not comatosed and fall asleep. Amber trichomes are actually degraded THC.

Looking really close, she’s definitely getting there, but not fully done yet. The colors and fade look like a proper late-flower stage, but the buds themselves still have a bit more swelling left in them. Cloudy trichomes with no amber usually means the plant is still in the “peak active” phase. If you prefer harvesting at mostly milky with almost zero amber, I’d say you’re around 7–10 days away, maybe a little less depending on temperature and light intensity. Keep checking the trichomes on the actual buds, not the sugar leaves sugar leaves turn earlier and can mislead you. You’re very close, don’t rush the chop. These last days usually add the final density, resin, and aroma.

Looks great. Generally speaking it takes a week or two for trichomes to fully mature.

hey 👋 No more than a week, when you see the first amber trichomes (about 5–10%), unless you’re aiming for a couch-lock effect. In that case, you can give them another 10-15 days, depending on your preference 👌

Definitely the 'scope and wait' phase... once the trichomes look good, go for it.
