OK guys its close to harvest but i'm not sure how close. I have a 60x jewelers scope and there looks to be more cloudy than clear but I don't want to wait for amber as I have been told that is to late. What should I do........ I want to harvest but don't want to mess up. This is a first grow and the seeds came out of a bag of bud......HELP ME

Wait till their all cloudy.

Don't bescared if you see some amber. It can just be from damage or stress

Make sure you look at multiple spots and take an overall guesstimate.

You want cloudy tho man, you waited this long don't jump the gun now. Their putting on weight and thc right now.

Small children in Jamaica are starving right now and your going to throw away all that thc.

Ah so it's you posting in multiple threads. Please stop.

It clogs up the forum and everyone can see your post when they click new posts, it doesn't need to be posted multiple times.

I'd say you are pretty close. When testing a new strain I will still take the number of days into account. If it doesn't look done but it is over 70 days I will start to get ancy anyway. I always harvest a couple early in the window and some on time and a few late ones. The late ones always seem to be the best imo. I would be patient until about day 80 and then that's it.

Best to go for 20-30% amber, I will say for your second grow actually but some seeds so you know the background it will help massively, if you want CHEAP and decent genetics Royal Queen seeds are good and their customer service is first class... when your starting out no point adding another factor in to screw up the grow, though could do what I did and get some autoflowers, stress them so they produce seeds.. got around 1000 seeds and they just stay in my veg tent...trust me they are brilliant for filler plants so your never out of bud....... I’m rambling but shit I’m high as fuck!

What’s your set up?

I am just running a 250w HP's bulb in a small 3x 3x 6ft tent, mg nutrients. Got to keep it small as over here in the UK its still illegal. Just trying to save myself some coin by growing my own smoke.

the leaves sticking out of buds, the sugar leaves, form trichs early and they are loosely packed, so they get damaged and age faster than the trichs that form on the actual calyxes of the buds. disregard what you see on the sugar leaves, and only look at the trichs on your calyxes.
i personally don't care about amber. i like to take them when i see that at least 80% of the trichs are cloudy. they'll always be producing new trichs, so you're never going to see it 100% cloudy.

I agree.
I think of trichs as fruit. Friut ripens. So do trichs. Clear trichs are like green bannas. They taste sharp or harsh. I dont like that. Not enough banna taste.
Amber trichs are like over ripe bannas... yuck.
Cloudy trichs are like yellow bannas with no brown spots. Yum.

I cant say i can tell the difference in the type of high each trich gets though. Pretty much all the same to me.

What i have noticed though is that when i see amber trichs too early i notice at harvest that ive had some root problems.

My first really good harvest for yield... i took NL#5 (said to be a 9 wk strain) to 14 weeks waiting for 50% amber trichs. Just didnt happen so i just finally chopped at about 10% amber and found pristine white roots...

So i go for mostly cloudy trichs...
