Good afternoon... Having transparent trichomes indicates that the flowers have not yet reached maximum maturity. In these cases, I don't see a clear reason to anticipate the interruption of nutrition just because the calendar has reached the 10th week. The development of trichomes is usually a more useful indicator than the number of weeks, which is merely an estimate. If you're looking for cloudy/milky trichomes with a ratio of amber trichomes, you should continue to feed the plant, and upon the appearance of the first amber trichomes, start the flush depending on the desired goal.

Hello friend, beautiful grow, I think you'll see it yourself, there's nothing left, happy harvest 💚🍀🌱🍀💚

Have you topped your lady? If so, we've experienced that she takes a bit longer (7-12 days) than what the breeder indicates. We often harvest our topped auto plants (regardless of breeder) in week 12. By then, about 10-15% of the trichomes on the buds (not on the sugar leaves) are amber. I'm curious to see how it goes for you! :-)

Hey! If the trichomes are still completely clear in week 10, she just needs a bit more time. Some phenotypes like to take a little longer and might need 11 or 12 weeks. If you start flushing now, she’ll be starving during the phase when she should still be producing resin and really maturing. I would definitely keep giving her nutrients. You can maybe slowly reduce the dose a bit, but don’t cut her off completely yet. As soon as you see the trichomes turning nice and milky and the first amber heads appearing, you can start flushing without any worries. Patience will definitely pay off in the end!

Plants are ready..........do your "flush". Basing your entire harvest timing solely on trichomes is not ideal..........some plants never get amber trichomes (or very few amber) and others can have 70% amber after only 4-5 weeks of flowering. The first example means people are waiting far too long for the ambers to appear and then harvesting degraded over ripe and near dead plants...... and anyone harvesting flowers after only 4-5 weeks is fooling themselves. Generally, once there are 98-99% brown pistils/hairs, the plant is in the harvest zone. This generally co-incides with 10-30% amber anyhow. You need to look at the whole plant, it will "tell" you when it is ready...........trust your instincts!

Hey my friend! 💚 I can't give a precise opinion about harvest timing because the picture isn't close enough to properly judge the trichomes. But if I were in your position, I'd definitely start flushing now. Your plant's leaves seem to agree with me too. 😍 (I mean those fading leaves that are reaching the end of their life.) I can see you're doing an awesome job—best of luck with the rest of the grow! 😍😍 By the way, I'm running a genetic breeding project on my page. I'm currently testing the F1 generation, and I'd be really happy if you checked it out. 🙏💚

Before harvest, I always taste a few buds.. when I'm satisfied with the effect, then I trim.. suggestion, dry a few smaller buds quickly and smoke them, there's no better gauge than that. :)

Are the trichomes at the middle and bottom part of the plant also clear ? I would ignore the trichomes on the foxtails and check the rest of the plant

picture is too far away to give anything more than a general method about the topic... I used to rely heavily on trichomes, but at this point i've run into too many that just don't amber up as expected, then end up with over-ripened buds -- can tell by how it breaks up and tastes when i smoke it. Most plants i still harvest based on tirchomes, but i'd say at least 1 of each harvest (8 plants) is an oddball the last couple years. nowadays, i have a timelimit from the point it 'seems' fully fattened. I try to err on the certain side of that assessment. If i don't see enough amber within ~7 days, i chop regardless and i have been liking the results. It's subjective, so the exact time limit one person may use could differ to ensure fully ripened results. It's not unusual for people to lie to themselves about such things if impatient, for example. Or, maybe someone waits extra long to be certain... a little trial and error can work it out, either way. cloudy and amber are signs of degredation, not peak thc. so 'clear' isn't necessarily impotent. i'd still favor cloudy (or plastic vs glass), but i'm not a fanatic about it. worth mentioning i prefer an early window harvest compared to most.
