Just took some new pics, and was wondering how close I am to harvest. Check em out, hopefully you can see them good enough to judge.
Are we close to harvest?

What color are the trichomes?

The relationship between trichome colour and cannabinoid content is shown in Figure 3.22. The data were more evenly spread than those from the corresponding trichome density study. The slope of the regression line shows that there is a weak but significant tendency for darker coloured trichomes to be associated with low-potency cannabis samples.
The comparison between trichome colour and CBN content showed that the lower average potency in darker colour trichomes could be almost entirely due the THC having catabolised in these samples..
CANNABINOL (CBN)
Cannabinol is the primary degradation product of THC and increases in concentration with plant age. The concentration of this product in the bud is heavily dependent on the time of harvest. Harvesting the bud at a late stage also means that the concentration of CBN in relation to THC will be higher when compared to the peak of THC production.
CBN content also increases as THC degrades. It is only mildly psychoactive and can cause "fuzzy head", drowsiness, disorientation and sleepiness in the smoker, properties that can be considered unpleasant in nature compared to the clear high of the THC.

Hey bro, I would treat each bud separate when looking for trichs. Some are close now but others will go longer.....nice grow

That is an old outdated chart just so you know. You should use the one Bricktop ^ posted up above. Amber trics = degraded THC.

Thanks for the responses guys. This is my first real grow so I want to make sure I finish strong. I have heard 1-2 weeks rather consistently from folks. It feel good to be this close to the end.

We have access to a magnifier tonight (i hope) so we should have a better idea what we are looking. I will post more pics later. I can't wait to get this first grow under my belt.
