[QUOTRoger A. Shrubber, post: 12634526, member: 925384"]trichomes don't all mature at the same time. clear ones are premature, milky ones are ripe, and amber ones are past ripe. they'll never all be at the same stage at the same time. so what you want is the majority to be cloudy, and just a few scattered around to be amber. thats pretty much peak. if you let it go much past 5% amber before you harvest you're just letting it get overripe, like a banana turning black.
if you have to go looking for ambers to find any, its not ready yet. there should be a few here and there over most of the plant.
i know it sucks, i'm at about the same point you are at the moment, waiting for a plant thats 90% cloudy to start producing a few ambers to let me know its actually there. just keep checking daily
Then again over ripe banana is sweeter too

Thanks RM, I had actually read that before but could remember where. And just to not confuse people here I think when talking about Amber most if not all are talking the typical cloudy milky turned Amber, and not one of the few clear Amber strains. I like to pull my cloudy milky before I get a lot of Amber/brown and have for years, just my preference. Not sure how long I let the only strain I've had that had purple triches go but it was a bit longer into the finish. (15,years ago) I don't base my pulling on triches only. Usually base it on my running low unfortunately lol.

hi everybody, the trichomes look ready maybe a third are Amber
but outdoor tangerine dream only started flower around April 10
so that's about 57 days
don't wanna harvest to early
from what I read this should be a 70 plus days on flower strain
