I check trichomes and like to see them start turning all over, I don't just look at the tops. I like to chop at about 5-10% amber if the rest are milky enough. If there are still a lot of clear I wait.

I was just hopping on to post this pic as an explanation of why these plants aren't getting a dark period and I'm making coffee...

They are to this doneness all over except for the tops, which are similar trichome-wise except around the little foxtails. This also shows the nice crispy leaf I had in mind when I replied to @Big Perm ;)

The Gringo plant (back) isn't crispy, but yellowing which I almost think was natural "getting done" but it's hard to tell because of the ugliness in between. The yellowing is showing up evenly all over though, not hitting like another issue. So I'm chopping the one in the foreground, then depending on how quick it goes I'll get the gringo either tonight or tomorrow.

If you think waiting would help anything speak up. Actually just seeing the ambers sprinkled all over the tops under the new growth is what made me think about it. seeing the ambers on the lower nugs as well is what pushed me over the edge.

The skunk in my avatar I let go to about 50% amber and all the pistils were brown and tight. It knocked me on my ass and I harvested the next earlier. Only because I have grown this strain repeatedly. Other strains I'll test and decide.

I like to play around a bit with ever strain and dial in my favorite feeling tricome wise for instance my green raspberry I like to go 10 to 15 percent but the purple raspberry I can go 30 percent easily and pull better flavors out without it being to (couch lock) feeling I'll do the same when I'm done pheno hunting the donkey Dan's and Cinderella 99s I'll clone and then harvest at diffrent amber percentages and take note for each new mother

I can only really say if for the skunk and GDP. but I can let both go until they are "one-hit-wonders" - good genetics. I do occasionally but not with the skunk anymore. I am about half-way done and logged back on to see how many "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! don't chop that" posts there were. :)

A couple other factors - my non-contest flowers are my 'regular' smoke. This was for fun and to experiment.
I was tired of looking at the ugly leaves and my other plants need room :)

Quick update no number I noticed one of my plants was lacking on the bud for some reason which is weird because the are all the same clones but i think I found out why here is some pics of normal growth 20190611_043227.jpg 20190611_043232.jpg and the the one skimping on bud20190611_043239.jpg 20190611_043244.jpg and then I saw this 20190611_043256.jpg 20190611_043306.jpg looks like she took quit the battle wound at some time I'm sure the injured branch will explode while the rest of the plant suffers we will see just thought I'd update on whats going on around here tonight
