The trics are cloudy I see vary few clear.
And a lot of the tricks are pretty extended and there's some that are getting a reddish hue to them but not full on Amber

Haha... your plant does not have Trichomes on it's hairs?
Those buds above do not have enough Trich's...
Now when my plant tells me, when it is getting finished, the Trichomes plump up like little water/milky towers on my buds, hairs, everywhere...
Cut a bud open.... Pure white? I have cut many buds open... PURE WHITE! So you say... you don't have Trich's on your hairs?
No your bud is not like mine... I have WAY more THC on my buds...sorry....
So again, I ask you....
What color are the Trichomes on your hairs? Cause if you say, you have none, or it don't matter... then you don't know, have not studied your plants enough, and you must learn from your plant....
Learn by doing, this stuff is not in any book....
FYI: As your plant finishes [ok my plant] the final week, you plant should pop out a few final hairs
These final bud hairs if looked at under a loop/scope will have very fine lime green tiny hairs...[1/10 the size of a normal Trichome]
These last few white hairs with the mini trichomes on them will turn [in less than a week]
Milky, and then start to retract back into bud...The hair trich's will turn from lime green, to white, to milky and then recede all in a matter of days...
When these final hairs start to recede back into your bud...
Then check for your normalTrichome Color...
AND... You want the most white Trich's you can have...
The color you want is white....creamy....
Unless you Fukked up, or let your plant go too long you should NEVER see more than a couple of the million milky trichs turn amber...
Wanting 5-10% amber Trich's is not what you want under any circumstance ....
After you have grown a couple of hundred plants... you'll understand...
Now, I doubt you get it...
Learn...
Have a great day...

Woah dude chill... There is what looks like trics on the hairs . No one is calling you stupid or anything. Also the buds are pretty frosty.
If I go by wha the plant is tellin me though .then it's done . Leaves look yellowish hairs are all disappearing
And also I said don't like ambers
Previously I cut at the sight of them
And most my trics are cloudy

I have grown well over 100 plants and yeah I dont cut less than 10-15% amber.
So to each their own.

me personally I cut at the first sight of Amber. But every body like there own way

God damn beautiful .
My is purple just not as much
The hairs (pistils) contribute very little to potency and taste. This is why attention should be focused on the trichomes on the green flower material (calyx).
FYI, a reply filled with anger and dots (...) comes off as arrogant and confrontational. You can simply state your opinion and readers will take the advice that is logical, has a majority acceptance and doesn't rely on aggression to get the point across.

Amber = Degraded
So why would you or any other novice grower wait until their plant is degraded to harvest?
To each his own indeed...
Take a picture of your "Amber" 15 % Trichomes... you must be mistaken
My buds when finished, have zero % of there trich's amber
My plants are never degraded
Why are yours?
My plants have per bud, maybe 100,000,000,000 [that's a hundred billion] Trich's [trichomes per bud] sure count them
PURE WHITE when I cut a bud open, go ahead, cut one of your 15% degraded buds open
So if your is any way, is close to filled with Trichs as mine, you have 15,000,000,000 [15 billion] degraded bad, useless Trichomes
Really? Why would you kill your plant?
So what you are saying, is you have no idea about Trichome production
Look, to each their own for sure
Novices, you do not want a degraded plant, Amber Trichomes [LOOK IT UP] = Degraded

If your plant is 100% healthy, then CORRECT we have a winner, cut when healthy, not when your plant starts to degrade
AMBER Trichomes = Degraded
Don't be an idiot, here is the link:
https://www.rollitup.org/t/trichomes-harvesting.516184/
-------------------------------
The third state is amber. Amber trichomes contain degraded THC --> CBN. CBN represents a loss of 90% potency (from THC).
CBN is not desirable in any harvest, since it not only represents a huge loss of potency but research into the substance has also shown that CBN does not produce a high like THC does, CBN produces a more sickly feeling not a true high.
Well lets, see....
The first trichomes start popping around week 3-4 in flower.
Those trichomes will be dying by the time the MOST trichomes are turning cloudy.
Considering I want the absolute highest possible concentration of CLOUDY trichomes, all those trichomes from week 3-4 will be turning amber. It isnt rocket science, even a "novice" can figure it out.
I have experimented enough to know that, around 15-20% is when I get the type of buzz I like best....
Now, you may not believe or even understand this, but you know each person is an INDIVIDUAL and have preferances that might not match exactly with yours. Do I have to eat only rockyroad icecream for the rest of my life because YOU like that flavor the best?
Any experienced grower knows that there is a wide range of preferances, with all your experience you havent figured that out yet?
Oh, I know HIGHEST THC POSSIBLE is like the fad of inexperiences smokers....
I learned about 30 years ago, that thc isnt the be all end all of buds, otherwise I would just smoke hash/oil all the time.
It is all about the cannabinoids for me. So once again, you have a preferance, others do to, just because you like Rockyroad icecream doesnt mean the entire world has to do what you do.....

Dude.... I have no anger, however stupid people that say to let their plants go degraded, and then tell thousands mis information, is wrong... get it? W-R-O-N-G
Degraded Trichomes, which are amber in color = degraded
Degraded = Not good OK, if you want a not good plant, harvest when it is 100% amber
This is not hard to understand
Amber = Degraded
------------------------------------
Novices do not let your plants degrade
Attention, should be focused on growing a great root base, then all your worry about amber, and color of Trich's would be useless, which it is anyway.
ANYTHING, amber, brown, tan, dead looking is not good on a 100% healthy mj plant
you might want to brush up on horticulture and while you are at it, check the meaning or the word degraded
so much misinformation
Anger, hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa don't be an idiot
If someone lies because he was tolld a lie, then he repeats it 100 times and then those guys repeat it another 100 times, you have a big lie that everyone starts to believe Don't repeat anything
--------------------
FYI: All plants grow different, you in CA will have different issue than a guy in North Carolina, humidity and all
One size does not fit all, except that amber thing you keep wondering about
one last time Amber = Degraded
Waste 15% of your plant if you like...
I treat anyone that says that they like a plant's hi that is 15% shit... as well a novice, because I was where your mind is at, in the 90's...
Amber hi is so much better I was told over and over
They were wrong, as are you, preference or not, amber = bad shit
have a bad shit kind of day!

Dude I think every one is saying Amber is degrading thc. It dose produce a different buzz cuz its not the same chemical compound at that point. Which Is why I said . I like harvest at the first sight of Amber.
And another thing that was said. Was that every one has their own preferences.
This whole rude n arrogathat vibe your puttin off is just lame. I'm trying to get some feed back on my plants

If you read the ACTUAL report, you would know it says BROWN ,,,, not AMBER
b. Effect of gland age on cannabinoid content
We also examined cannabinoid content of stalked gland by age to measure the major cannabinoid components in both a fiber and drug strain (Table 2). Glands, viewed under a microscope, can be classified according to their secretory phases from the color of their contents. Glands most active in secretion (mature) are translucent in appearance, aged glands are yellow in appearance and senescent glands are brown in color. Mature glands possessed the highest content of their major cannabinoid in both the fiber and drug strains. Senescent glands possessed low levels of cannabinoids. The concentration of some components, as CBD in the drug strains, may be so low that is was not detectable in our analysis; similarly, for THC and CBN in the fiber strain. It is unknown where the cannabinoids go during the aging process, but we suggest that it is possible they volatilize into the atmosphere along with the terpenes in glands, as noted later in this report. Nevertheless, this phenomenon of altered content in glands during aging is one that should be studied to gain a more complete understanding of the secretory process of cannabinoids in the cell.

Amber can be a very good thing if you know about it, I get amber in week 4
