Valued opinions please. White Widow girl on day 76 flower done in DWC using advanced nutrients and fully flushed. Leaves are yellowed, pistil have changed and inverted. Buds so heavy she's flopping all over the place. Trichomes are 75-80% cloudy but NO AMBERS yet. This is week 11!!!!
Question is DO I CHOP or WAIT?
Thanks in advance for serious advice. I've come this far and I'm looking for fire!!! Here's a few shots just after lights out today.

I'd give em two or three days. You could keep going till they are amber but the potency won't be tremendously greater - IMO

Chop it, it's done. Don't worry about harvesting by trichome color, you could end up waiting weeks and not seeing any amber. I've seen strains amber a few weeks into flower and I've seen strains taken to 12 weeks without ever developing an amber trichome. She's ripe and should be harvested.

Looks very nice. I would chop now, but if you're waiting for amber, you could give her another two weeks. Maybe get the hps a little closer. The plant will try to shade her buds by turning her trichomes darker w/ the light closer.

I appreciate the love! Glad you all think she looks good. That's all a grower needs to hear! Thanks RIU.
There's so much on waiting for amber trichs I'm never sure when to harvest....
Am curious about your individual preferences.

You are basically ready to chop... if ya want, you can leave her in total darkness for 3 days to let her resin-up even more. Enjoy your harvest bro !! :bigjoint:

Everytime I harvest, I find half a dozen to a dozen seeds in the lower buds...I've been saving them since I think they might be feminized. I just started one along with my conles to see what it gives. I read somewhere that if your plant makes seeds from it's own pollen due to stress factors, the seeds will be mostly female. Downside is greater risk of hermies.
