r1 tony, getting close to amber tops. check them every other day.

those trichomes are cloudy, nothing wrong with cloudy trichs, if you are jonesing, clip a few popcorn buds to help with the wait.


guhman, you have a few weeks, not quite there yet.

Very nice buds Novakid! Did you FIM or top your plant? How many sets of leaves did you have before you fimmed or topped the plant?

Some strains don't turn amber... You're better off going by the trichome head, wait for them to swell to max size and watch your calyx's. When both are fully swollen, it's time to chop.

Ok.. I will give it a few more days and check.

Anyone have any good links or reference what I should be looking for then, kinda sure but want to make sure I spot it.

I don't have the energy or time to dig up links, but basically you want to chop when the trichome head looks like a balloon about to burst. Usually the stalks will bend a little bit, signaling they're toward the end of their life, and they degrade from that point on. The calyx swelling is pretty self explanatory, once they swell to maximum size the plant is pretty well finished. I don't go by trichome color because it varies so much from strain to strain, and there is new research showing that thc is at its peak before the trich's turn amber.

Yep. My Super Lemon Haze has cloudy trich's from week five and I have a pure Jamaican Purple Skunk that has around 10% purple trich's (the rest turn amber during the cure). Strains are very different across the board, there's no "one size fits all" answer. How do you like the Jilly Bean?

Damn both my Jilly Beans didn't germinate when I tried back when I was using the paper towel method. Wish I had them now with my fool proof method now, I might order some more Jilly seeds soon.
