how long from milky trichomes to turning amber?

i have looked though many threads and saw no answer.probably not 1 definate time but somthing close !

it depends on strain.

nother litghts

It isn't a sudden transition. In fact there will be some trichs that are clear and cloudy all the way through. Best to take several samples from around the plant and sort of average them together. I'll bet you already have some amber. To answer the question, I would say you gain another 25% amber every week and I wouldn't harvest at less than 25-50.

On my northern lights I get trics right away at 3-4 wks into flower. At about 5-7 wks they are milky & clear, with a lil amber
8 Weeks is when they really start to turn amber

lol your avitar cracks me up. also sound advice on not harvesting untill youget atleast 25% amber. i like more on the 50% side of shit

My avatar is a northern lights big bud cross.

lol thanks on the avitar coment and thanks for info,shylas im right on that time line thanks !

and will get better avitar off of northern lights bud..lol

and shylas tha is nice bud looks like the northern but real fat ! trying to get low rider seeds for next grow

I really like the autoflowering lowryder 2 by the joint doctors. (I buy them from attitude)
9 weeks from seed to harvest. Nice

All the bud avatars are beautiful and inspiring....but...i think dude may have been referring to 'Illegal Smile's' avatar as, well..it cracked me up too..

Well, that all depends too---but really, the more light the better...always (IMO)

Whatchu got to work w/? whatchu u willin to spend?? I encourage the use of HID lights for any serious grower as those lights encourage waaaaaaaaaay more growth and buddage....400MH veg and atleast 400HPS for flower IMO, for any strain. Never can have too much light... but hid's aren't always practical...

If you must use flouro's--use good quality GROW flouros's (not shop lights or flood lights) that either emit light from both the red and blue end of spectrum, or u can use different bulbs for diff. phases--I believe blue light encourages growth in veg and red light encourages flowering--(i think that's the way it is--hope i'm not backwards)

Ebay can be a really great source for affordable lights of any sort--but flouro's are cheap anyway--

in short, my advice is...as much wattage as you can get away with

ok all good stuff thanks!
