Harvesting now is an option depending on preference. I guess the high would be less stony and a bit more energetic while lastig shorter if you chop right now. If you wait for like ten more days the potency and maybe the yield will improve further. If you are checking your trichomes, try to ignore the (much more mature) ones on the sugar leaves and compare different buds with each other. You are on the homestretch, enjoy!

Agreed, another 10-14 days ........ a bit too early right now.

hi Jim,,,,, Das wird bestimmt noch 1-2 Wochen dauern......😑 Ich würde warten bis 20% der Trichome bernsteinfarben sind und 80% milchig. Dabei können die Pflanzen aber verschieden aussehen........ Viel Glück

too early... longn hairs indicate the calyxes have quite a bit more plump to go... some of this stuff is inconsistent. you stimply have to gain familiarity over time. I'm still adjusting my exact methods for when to harvest. I see 2 types. The type that finish altogether and showing decent amount of amber when they look ripe and another set of plants that look ripe a bit earlier but need more time for trichomes to amber up.... Try to learn more than 1 trigger. Trichomes don't always amber up the same way each time.
