Same here I took a barney's farm pineapple chunk to 90 days and I killed that fucker because I was tired of looking at it!
We're breeding out the ambering of trich's in many new strains ?

Same here. I just now put some seeds in a paper towel(same strain) She has until they crack and her process is done. No complaints on the smoke that been coming out milk. Not one bit...I've ran this plant out far enough.

why not snip a bud and find it might be awesome right now?

Nope. It'll be cut and dried then cured. I can wait.
I waited this long for the Damn thing to 'ripen'....

scared you could be waiting for amber that might not ever happen like @Dr. Who posted?

No, not at all. I understand the plant can't live forever. At some point it'll start to die and amber will result. This thing is running at least 98% milk in color as of now. It's incredible. The vibe I get is she's at the max and she's carrying it as far as she can to protect herself to reproduce.
Don't get me wrong. I'd enjoy running it out longer. I'm already behind the curve for energy consumption per gram of bud.
She's done when the fresh seeds crack.

Typing in layman's terms as I understand it.
The goal of this is to produce the most THC. Traditionally we've been taught to look for the degradation of the THC as an indicator of ripeness. Maxed out.
Now, It's a, "What happens if the plant keeps making it and maintains what's made".
Challenge to popular thought and routine.

I have had many "8 week plants" from seed go longer than 11 weeks and still be 90% milky 10% clear and no degradation or transparent colors.
You are in the high potency window still.
Just about every bud offered to me everywhere is cut way early in my opinion.
The complex canabanoid content takes time to develop. The weed is much stronger and more medicinally effective 2-3 weeks after supposed target date.
And look at every seedbolant as an individual and let her grow all he way until truly peaked.
The difference can be astounding compared to a plant cut earlier.

It's not just thc. Cbd and many other canabanoids take some time to develop. My strongest plant had all milky trichomes with no clear left and a few old looking damaged degraded brown ones and it had clear to week 12.
It is supposed to be an 8 week finish. I had one that went all the way cloudy under 10. But I have never seen done sooner. Not now that I know what to look for.

If that plant is like the ones we are talking about here it may actually end up mostly cloudy with some transparent amber heads that always stay that way. Or if you are patient maybe more colors will show up like I showed earlier.
Nice sounding strain by the way.

Questions, questions...
Is 12 hours of light to finish, killing cannabis prematurely? Resulting in amber before the full potential?...

What strain are you running that actually ambers? Must be that almost everything I'm running is too "new" to amber any more...

That's the deal. These ain't new strains. Bubblegum, GSC, and a no name sativa. Under 12/12 they'll go amber within the ripe window ( I have no clue what the no name will do, first time grown). Using the diminished cycle behind the Gas lantern seems to be pushing the window farther out. They're staying milk.
I'm running two cabinets. Gas lantern in both. 300watt LED in each. One bubblegum and the no name in cabinet 2. I'd have to check the calender for the exact time but those are in week 8. 59 day range. Bubblegum has a 8-9 window. GSC 9-10 week window...
Cabinet 1, bubblegum and GSC. Bubblegum was grown into the late days of flower. Cut down because she literally went bananas. 67 days. The GSC was cut this morning. 78days total.
Grown in two types of soil. One cheap, one expensive. Same size fabric pots. Light surface is 18" from the top colas.
Max temps, 76°f at the highest. 65° at night. 50% average humidity.

If I may say, I only do autoflowers ,and getting amber trichomes is goal i cant get..
That's the thing I see too.. Older strains amber.
newer and uber potent - Don't!
So what do u mean by that Dr.who? That early ambering dosen't mean more potency? As recall RM3 Said the amber was caused by more CBD ,and his strains with this gene, caused more potency.. but isen't the CBD working against the good effects of THC?? Just curios.
