I don't really know yet. Will let one of mine go a little longer and see.Well, I've just done some more recent amd would appear that the "amber = couch lock, and misty = heady" is a myth, and that misty is the way to go...by that reckoning, it's flush tommorrow and harvest in a week....i'm so happy![]()

I still have no clue how people have a steady enough hand to see distinctly. I saw some amber & some cloudy and some clear.. % tho is a guess.. Maybe 10/40/50. Some areas had more amber than others....
I've been looking online, you can get a USB microscope for not too much money. I'm guessing that is the way to go, snip a bit of leaf off and place it under there, cos I'm with you, find it really hard to keep my hands and the plant steady enough to get a good view

Yea you're right man... thats all a myth, really the amber trichomes mean your thc is degrading, and you dont want too much of that. Here's a thread that will break this down...seems you already know this but maybe others would like the read.

If it is the bud calyxes themselves turning purple this could be due to low temps (below 68F or so). If the purple is pronounced on the leaves and if the leaves start to feel dry instead of smooth, this could be a deficiency or lockout of Phosphorus.My buds are turning purple and are about 30% purp as we speak. I'm curious if this is a bad thing or not because they look fantastic, but I have never seen a photo or description of the buds being purple (Top 69 genetics).
My initial plan seemed to work..Post a pic here and say I think I should chop it and see what others say... Like yours, I could cut or wait. But its my first cut of my first grow, happy I made it this far without "accidently" breaking something off LOL
Lmaoooo.........Actually, after first hearing the amber info on a Youtube vid, that was the link that I went to, to confirm it, but thanks
It's just gonna have to be a daily check on trich's I guess, cos the only thing that I like degraded is me bitches lol![]()
hows it going everyone? well this is day 8 of flower for my THC BOMB and im definitly keeping the two little clones i got, need them to help fill up the tent.and im gonna pop a JANAICAN DREAM today for the next run,
Nice! I didn't realise this was your first harvest..oooh eeh you gonna enjoy it!!! What you got planned for the flush?? I find just pure water or very weak nutes (0.5ml instead of 4ml) for the last week is enough, and not to actually flush the nutes out totally, rather let the plant use up whats in the soil and it's leaves. Apparently having even a tiny bit of nutes is better then pure water cos it helps breakdown in the soil or something.
However, this is only my opinion, you'll find what works best for your requirements with the more harvests you have
