I have no idea what day I made the flip. I think a week before 4/20. As of right now my buds are starting to get amber. Should I be checking the bottom buds too? I’ve noticed the bottom buds are the last to get amber trichomes. I have some photos for y’all.

I would say a while yet. I haven't been right yet today so.... You might be my first!
I mean weeks btw,
Sometimes it takes wrong answers to learn the right answer. given that they are cloudy, I guess they would still get the job done. I think I have at least a couple weeks to go, maybe 3. This is week 5 since seeing the first sign of flowering. That I can tell you.

Here are the buds as of right now. The pistils haven’t gone all the way amber either. I feel like it’s too early ‍♂
that is a matter of opinion my friend. some people like sleepy weed (mostly amber trichs). some people like wakey weed (half amber-ish trichs). either way your plants are beautiful and i think you'll be happy :)

Thank you! I think I’ll be patient and let the bottom parts fatten up more. Added more weed porn lol
i know i keep replying to this thread but as for what you said in this post, i've seen people harvest the top colas and let the rest mature on their own. just a thought!

That’s a definite consideration. The colas growing from the main branches might need chopping before the new growth buds.

or you could monstercrop and take a couple branches for clones depending what kind of operation you have going on. just another option i've seen others do.. it is timely though

It’s a one tent operation as of right now. I live in a 200 sq ft studio, so space is limited. I’m slowly getting my closet ready with my old blurple to use as a veg grow area.

3-4 more weeks. Wait until all of those pistils turn orange and recede back into the bud. Then it’s a matter of preference. I like to go by density or hardness once all the boxes indicating ripeness are checked. Somebody here once said “Styrofoam” hardness; that’s the goal.
