It wasn’t even close to being done. Patience is key next round

Can you explain. I followed a guide and used a digital microscope. All the trichs were really cloudy and like 5% are amber. I was taught that when all the trichs are cloudy that's the energenic uplift feeling and more amber couch lock. I don't want couch lock

The trichs can stay like that for a while. If you look at the whole plant pics, it's easy to see that the calyxes hadn't swollen yet, and there's still lots of fresh white pistils.
If you pick early yes it will be more energetic (downright terrifyingly racy in some cases), but you still want the plant to be ripe and bearing all its fruit in all its glory. This one wasn't quite done yet, but she was looking real nice. I'm sure it will still be nice smoke for you.

I didn't cut the full plant down. Only 3 branches. I'll wait and see if the rest swells. Thanks. I guess I got too excited seeing all cloudy. I didn't know they can stay like that.
Thank you

Yah I’m sure what amber was there was likely on sugar leaves. They had ALOT of swelling to do. Patience is a much needed skill to learn when growing.

Its more than likely. With it being that young. Its a guarentee.

Harvested too early. This was probably running through his mind.

It was initially upset, but both parties agreed mistakes were made and they would move on from there.

Plant stinks more since I cut the branches off but it's showing no signs of being deathly hurt. I'm guessing it's going to stunt from the stress though. I don't know the strain is why I am not too worried about it now. But I want to have an idea for what I must do if I'm actually going for profit of 6 or more plants in future. Thank you all for input

Pretty much, I saw all the trichs cloudy and was like shit i got to cut it down it's ready. Not knowing trichs like stated above stay cloudy for a long time

Keep in mind that each plant is different and will behave differently. Do you have kids? If you do, then you understand.
Trichs are only one part of the harvesting picture. Amber trichomes, swollen calyxes, brown/receded pistils, fan leaf fade, are all signs that this ‘annual’ plant variety is at the end of it’s life.
It helps not to think of harvesting as some exact science. You won’t ruin your crop if you chop on day 65 instead of 64 lol.
The real skill to learn here is reading the plant.
