Trichome entwickeln sich nicht weiter. Chatgpt meinte ich muss die jetzt ernten, obwohl sie eigentlich noch nicht fertig ist. Was soll ich tun?

Amber color doesn't mean "ready" but rather degraded. That is, too late. The search for amber is done because you know that the rest should now be milky. In fact, ideally, you don't want to see a single amber-colored one. But it's hard to achieve that without harvesting too early, and being a little late is less of a problem. The fact is: you don't need amber as a harvest signal. Check if the calyxes are still growing. If nothing new is coming, you're good to go. You can't check every single bud anyway.

From the picture, it’s clearly in the late stage of flowering. The faded leaves, the colors, and the overall structure all point to a plant that is already close to the end of its life cycle. About your main concern with the trichomes Yes, it’s true not every strain develops a lot of amber trichomes. Some genetics tend to stay mostly milky with only a small percentage turning amber, especially certain autos. In your case, if the trichomes are mostly cloudy and only a few are still clear, you’re already in the harvest window. You don’t need to wait for a heavy amber percentage. The drying and dying leaves you’re seeing are also pretty typical this late in flower. The plant is basically using up its remaining energy. One important thing though Make sure you’re checking trichomes on the buds (calyxes), not on the sugar leaves. Sugar leaves turn amber earlier and can give a false impression. If I had to judge from what I see You’re either ready now or very close, maybe a few days at most depending on your preference. Make sure you have good air circulation and proper humidity. Dense buds combined with poor airflow can quickly lead to bud rot, especially towards the end. So no panic Your plant doesn’t look stuck, it looks finished or nearly finished. Happy Harvest and Enjoy 😊

Yes, it can happen that some strains never develop many amber trichomes and stay mostly milky/cloudy. If the plant is already very old, the leaves are dying back, and the trichomes have been cloudy for weeks, it is usually a sign that the plant is already at or very close to harvest. So if the plant looks like it’s finishing and not progressing anymore, harvesting now would be perfectly reasonable.

Hi, so far the plant looks pretty good. Did the plant experience stress at the beginning? Too dry, too wet, or something like that? In connection with training, you can definitely expect the time indicated by the breeder plus 2-4 weeks. Therefore, it’s not really that far over. The ripening of the trichomes can also be accelerated a bit in the final bloom with more light. Just be careful not to burn the plant :) . So, everything is in the green zone. The lady could probably be harvested already. Better to check every day and give her a few more days. Good luck!! :D

Hey. To be honest, I wouldn't know how to answer your question, but the advice I can give you is that if you don't find it to your liking, you can always turn it into hash. You boost its potency by concentrating the trichomes. I have a few videos I made with dry sift by hand. Wishing you a great day!

This plant is very over ripe and should have been harvested weeks ago. Yes, some plants never get amber trichomes, others have 70% amber right from about the 4th week of flowering............genetics. Generally, once a plant has 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, it is in the harvest zone. Harvest this plant now and do not wait any longer.

defoliation gave you less room for error, and once the canopy is decimated, not much more ripening can occur... can't make something from nothing and if the building blocks don't exist and the glocuse isnt' made, then any molecule that is produced involving endothermic reactions will halt. some plants don't turn amber, and that also may be the case. Good to rely on more than 1 obeservation to trigger a harvest. bud density and pistil coloration are a good sign. if you see all the pistils rusty and coiled up, it's probably time even if the trichomes are not amber. chatgpt is an LLM and is not 'intelligent.' it repeats what info it finds in forums and other sources of incredibly sketchy information strewn across the internet, so take its advice as a grain of salt.

hi Kay ....just have a little patience .......it'll be fine..........😎 I had the same problem....... But then it happened quickly and within 2 days the trichomes changed color and I was able to harvest....... I would definitely check it daily..... Good luck
