First time grower here and currently at Day 60, well tomorrow will be, my girl Lucy looks ready to me as her trichomes look more cloudy and milky than clear. Looking for opinions. I know she is an Indica and the more amber she gets the more that effect will set in.

Have a look at the breeders data again for exact harvest days. If you want more locking effects you want 10-15% Amber, for uplifting effects your got the sweet spot. Turn off lights 24h and chop it, upside down drying by 60/60 for 10 days.

That looks pathetically weak on trichomes. You deserve a refund.

Bom dia Eu esperava obter mais tricomas leitosos e âmbar mas depende sempre dos efeitos que procura. Colha um pequeno bud, seque e teste, vari repetindo até encontrar o seu ponto ideal.

Looking at the calyxes in these photos, Lucy is getting very close, but she likely needs a bit more time before getting the big chop. While the pistils have turned mostly brown and receded nicely, checking the actual trichome heads at this magnification shows a lot of clear and cloudy heads, but you want to see a solid blanket of milky white with a desired percentage of amber depending on the couch-lock level you're looking for. What to Look For Focus on the Calyxes: Make sure you're checking the trichomes on the actual calyxes (the flower bracts) rather than the sugar leaves, as trichomes on leaves tend to turn amber much earlier. The Amber Window: For an indica dominant strain, most growers aim for a window where almost all trichomes are cloudy/milky, accompanied by anywhere from 10% to 30% amber trichomes to get that heavier, relaxing body effect. Recommendation Give her another week or so, keep a close eye on her daily with a jeweler's loupe or a digital microscope, and let those clear heads cloud up fully into milky white with just a touch more amber tint on the calyxes.
