Default 8 Weeks flowering... May leave to 9?
Trics are roughly 20% Clear, 40% Cloudy & 40% Amber.

I am looking for a 50/50 Cloudy/Amber mix but the cloudy ones seem to be turning amber a lot faster than the clear ones are turning cloudy if that makes any sense?

Should I harvest now or leave for a week & risk having a higher percent of amber ones?

They buds don't look quite ready & still smell a bit fresh to chop.

I was planning to go to 9 weeks, but don't want a body stone so am tempted to chop sooner rather than later?

Any suggestions please?

Personally, I'd chop the buds that are at/past 30% amber. That's my kind of high, yo.

But if your plant is unevenly ripening (happens all the time), just harvest buds that are ready, and then harvest the rest when they get ready. People do that all the time, too.

Your choice, though.

that bud looks absolutely yummy... but it looks way too clear... i would let her go a little while longer... you will be able to see the difference without a scope.. the whole bud takes on a different hue... its like right now it is shiny, wait til it looks dingy...

Thanks all...

I'll check again on Sat which will be 9 weeks.

Was just a bit nervous that all the trics would go
Amber in that time.

It's my first grow so am trying to get everything
perfect...

I will be happy with anything...

Hey man dont worry forreal.
Most people have the problem with
harvesting TOO early. You on the other
hand have a great thing goin, the longer
you wait anyway the more potent it gets.
Not sayin wait a month but a week or so
more will do nothin but help it. Lookin
forward to the finished product

Tks FirstTimeGrowGuy,

Here's some other pics of my three babies...

The one on the right seems to have taken autumn to heart :~)

It's a bit too late to start worrying about her now, thought it was big drops in temp during lights on/lights off period so I added a small oil filled rad to the tent with the temp kept at 80 Degs with lights on & 75 with lights off, this does not seem to have done much to improve her heath though. Buds seem fine, leaves look like they are getting ready for halloween...

Have gone for White Russian from Lowlife Seeds for next grow, the three Church I have are huge & have to be rotated on a daily basis, so fancied something a bit more manageable.

Sorry guys, 2 last questions...

1) On the smaller/side cola's the buds do not go all the way up, they start at each node/new branch but do not meet with the node above it (a'la center cola) is this the strain or have I done something wrong?

Other people seem to have one big main cola but plenty of other colas with buds from the base to the top of the stem?

2) Smell, mine stills smells very fresh, does the smell appear only after curing?

Tks
