It will get you high for sure, but there are 3 phases in tri home production.
1- clear see through look.
2- milky yellowish look.
3- an amber brownish look.
All the phases come during different age prosesses.
For instance clear is the early stage as you may be aware.
Milky is mid and ambers the end.
Clear trichs will buzz you but on a mellow level,
A bit like smoking low thc strains.
Milky is a sign that thc is gaining its potential and becoming stronger.
A milky trich production gives an overall stronger buzz than clear and a celebrill high. A body buzz.
And Amber is the ultimate.
This is where trichs have occumilated maximum strength and this can result in a heavy stoned feeling with a sleepy couch lock feel.
This is why we try and time harvest right, as it all depends on what sort of buzz you are looking for.
Most people will agree that a 70% milky and 30% Amber is a nice combination in giving you a high to be satisfied so you can smoke all day if needs be without feeling to FUCK'D UP if you get me.
Daily checks is key at this stage.

Need a pic of bud
Thanks auto1dwc
It’s hard to get a good pic of those little suckers. Trying to light without washing out and making everything “clear”
These are the top buds on 3 different plants
Are these more helpful?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks stoned monkey!
I was going to shoot for one more week for a total of eight.
But I have only seen pictures and never seen a trichome “ live” just wanted confirmation I was looking right lol
With the weather, I Appreciate you letting me know I can bail anytime if I HAVE to.
Much thanks

Loads better... If you look closely at the ball like heads on the top of the trich, some have like a glossy clear image and you can see reflection colours in them. And then you have some with a dull milky cloudy look to them but the ratios about 30% cloudy and 70% clear....
You need longer, but you will see a difference every day looking at the same bud.
Plus those extra days she will fatten up even more or get denser.
Thanks again!
I know you can’t see the future, but COULD this last week ( I hope and planned or estimated 8 weeks, it’s bagseed so I guessed) make the difference? Or do you believe it will be longer?
I am greatly appreciating your knowledge, thanks a bunch!!

Need a pic of whole bud. Also of plant.
Here
Hey leather lungs,
Here are pics of the top buds, it’s lights out so can’t pull any entire plant shots.
They are some ugly raggedy looking things except for one “ proper” looking specimen.
But I love them all just the same

You still have 2-3 weeks left. They look good. Let them go as long as possible weather permitting.

Beast two weeks ... Pistol will recede and it will swell ... Let them ride.
Thanks leather lungs
But OUCH, I am in an unattached unheated garage,trying to finish with a small space heater, baby dehumidifier, and a handful of cfls,todays high was 48 degrees Fahrenheit with 98% humidity outside.
Forecast: more doom and gloom, but I’ll check em everyday and hold on as long as possible.
Thanks much!
Thanks Budzbuddha!
I’m trying to hold out, was hoping for just another week, but you and leather lungs seem to agree I need at least 2 more.
I’ll keep checking and watch for more receding and hopefully a little more plumping for my effort, but it’s a scary thought trying to keep em going that long lol
Thanks for your input!

Always expect your pants to exceed there life cycle. When they are grown by seed banks they have high spec lights and setup.
If you don't have that setup bare that in mind.
Thanks again auto1dwc
Since I have nothing near that kinda set up..... this could go on forever
Appreciate you!

What your doing is common with growers in the last stages as you can see kind of what your going to get which excites you, but you also have the worry of "what if".
People always set targets, these targets can be met , but you just have to persevere with it and next time if you grow it should seem easier to manage and you know more about what to look for during different processes.
I've been growing 15+ yrs and I'm still hearing different things which make me think "il try that"
If you don't try you'll never know.
But then can you afford to do this?
It's all swings and roundabouts.
This is my bitch, she is Pineapple Express auto on week 8 - 9
In description she should finish in 60 - 70 days from seed....
Mine got at least two weeks left, do you see what I mean bro.
