Hello!

I have multiple strains and all seems to be at different stages. All are about done with week 7 of flower. My blue berry and orange have most of the hairs turned yellow/red, but the trichomes are still clear/white and a few ambers.

I'm planning to harvest the top layer this weekend and give the smaller less developed lower branches some more time. My question is mainly for my pineapple express. It has barely any hairs that aren't white and still appear to be alive. Maybe 5% have turned orange. The trichomes, however, have pretty much all turned milky and maybe 5% of them are starting to go amber. I've read quite a bit about harvest timing. It seems like everything is happening too fast. I don't recall reading anywhere that people's trichomes start turning amber until the majority of the hairs start to turn orange/red.

Any input is appreciated!
