@ZoomZoom77, I'm shooting for this trichome range because this is a sativa and I like the effect the most with this ratio. With indica I usually shoot for more cloudy trichomes instead of amber, because I don't like that couch lock type effect if you go with more amber.

@Budcultivator, Ok, I understand. So then are you going for more of an indica smoke leaving them longer or are you shooting for that range regardless of sativa/indica effect?

@ZoomZoom77 Yeah this website is indeed awesome for learning! The reason I don't flush yet is because I watch for 2 things: One is the the hairs, and one are the trichomes. Personally I want the hairs to be at least 90% amber, and the trichomes to be 70-80% cloudy but that's just personal preference. Only at this point, when it looks like it's almost done, is when I start flushing. You might not see it correctly in the pictures but my plant still has a lot of new white hairs and a lot of trichomes are still clear. I do this because in my previous grows I made the mistake of flushing too early (a frequently made mistake by new growers) resulting in the buds not fattening up correctly due to lack of nutrients. If you have any more questions let me know. cheers!

I'm at week 4 with my big girl G! Amazing how fast she is growing. Yours are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! As a newbie, It's so nice to see if mine is up to par & what to expect. Good luck with the grow!

Seeing the colors changing to amber, I thought that's when It's time to flush? I'm a newbie so I'm curious as to what makes you feel like it still has longer? Looks beautiful! I'm at the 4 week mark with my Amy. This whole website is just awesome for learning. Thanks for sharing!
