Northern Lights Auto Trichome Maturity

Those buds look ready to me. I’m dealing with the same issue with my current grow- I had more cloudy trichomes 1 week ago than I have now at the end of week 10, beginning of week 11. I am preparing to harvest this weekend because I’m looking at the overall picture. Most of my plant’s pistols have turned orange and are receding back into the calyxes/buds, the bulk of my foliage has yellowed/browned off with flushing and the smell has changed. When they are ready, they smell ripe- like fruit that you can still eat but if you wait much longer, it will spoil. Kind of a thick and almost fermented sweetness in smell tells me along with everything else that it’s harvest time! Good luck and enjoy the fruits of your labour!

Hello! For me your plant look great and mature! It’s normal until the end of life always some new flowers (pistils and also trichomes), it’s a defense for light UV! Try to look for the old flowers near the stem! The first ones! For me the drying, and cure it’s so important for a potent smoke, as the right time to harvest!! Just try to help!
