I'm having a hard time telling how much longer she has. I read to look for 30% cloudy amber coloured tricones. Not sure if that's a good enough close up to tell or not.

Hard to tell from those pics...another indicator is the "ball" like nodules at the base of the buds...kinda like looking under the ladies dress.....they swell and may ooze at the last. Usually 30% would go to my bedtime jar...

Tips for when to harvest:

1. Receding and browning of the pistils/hairs
2. Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber
3. Swollen and oozy balls

It's easy enough to tell that you're inside of the harvest 'window'. Some people like taking them down earlier, some like to wait as long as possible to squeeze out a bit more weight. I find if you harvest early you'll get a slightly more heady high, if you wait as long as possible you'll get a more sleep effect but obviously the genetics dictate most of that. I think the longer you wait to harvest the higher the levels of cbd and cbn in your bud but the thc content slightly drops too.

That sounds like a man's worst nightmare.

Seriously, you mean the calyxes plump up? I've been looking for that but not seeing anything yet...

Lol. I was kidding...I have no idea how swollen and oozy balls relate to marijuana.

But yes, the calyx’ will swell up towards the end.
