Hi Blunt, I would wait a couple more days. You can see the first amber trichromes but there are alot of cloudy trichromes still on there too.

Yes, you’re really getting into the harvest window. In the photo, it looks like a pretty good mix: a large part of the glandular heads are already milky, and you can start to see several amber trichomes scattered on the bracts. The stigmas are mostly rusty as well. If you’re looking for a well-balanced effect with a good level of THC, you can go ahead and chop it. If you prefer a more narcotic or heavy hit, you can give it another 3 to 5 days to amber a bit more, but it’s definitely already at its peak.

Hi mate, I never check the trichomes but the pistils colour instead. If the ratio is around %50-60 amber so slightly more than white pistils it is in the harvest period then. I wouldn't go beyond %75 amber pistils because then I find it too late. Been using this approach for years and always had good harvests. Good luck and enjoy your plant!

Hello. Yes, you are in the harvest window. The photo is of good quality. But it seems to me that there are few amber trichomes and still a lot of clear ones. I think you can wait another week while monitoring with a microscope.

Good morning, J I see some amber trichomes but I think there are few... maybe I should wait a few more days... but it's not much longer.
