How do the pics above look? To me the plants photoed with hps off from 40cm distance look bigger then they really are , is it always like that no matter who takes photos of whatever plant? i mean are buds always looking bigger on pics?
Who's photos are you referring to?

If u go 1 page back you will see i posted NEW PICS with HPS off! and the buds look like MONSTERS for 28 days i mean they look bigger than how they realy are... and im wondering if this is allways like this (the buds look bigger)when u take a photo of a plant from 40cm distance with a dig camera?

How much amber...if any at all....depends on how much couch-lock you want from your buzz. More amber = more CBD's = more couch lock. I used to chop at first sign of amber, but the last few I harvested chopped at mostly cloudy (no amber) and found the buzz more uplifting and pleasant. Keep in mind.....even after chopping the plant's trichs continue to develop. Going with mostly amber (amber actually is a sign of THC degradation) means that by the time the weed is dried many more trichs have turned to amber. Look at your trichs after drying to prove it to yourself.
amber =cbd?????? I think u mean THC the plant is filled with cbd until it breaks down into the psychedelic thc wich in turn brakes down into a more brown color when the thc is too far gone. an im not just a new guy ive passed the masters at the Cannabis Training University CTU an taken a few other classes on top of doin this for a couple years

I'm guilty of repeating someone else's comment that I shouldn't have. It doesn't change the fact that amber trichs are a sign of degradation of THC.

you can even harvest a little early say 20-30% amber then cure for about 3 weeks and it'll be awesome. I grow legally for a caregiver an have been able to play with the trichomes a little if you like to get "baked go with about 40 50 percent amber with 2 to 4 weeks cure

I'd love to go to a growing school......but in life I've found experience usually is more useful than school learning. I'm a certified Microsoft System's Engineer and what I learned to get that certification is about 10% of what I now know about computers....the rest was all hands-on learning.

yes you are right lol it does. as long as they are all cloudy they are good to go but usually if u harvest witth just cloudy odds are some are still clear if you wait til you at least see some amber usually all the trichs that can form have done it and are ready

I think Larrybobkins that we'll have to agree to disagree on when to chop.\
No much experience in chopping so far.. but i watch under the microscope every bud i smoke and i know which one i love...10%ember 80-85% cloudy 10-5% clear

My friend,

I know you're fixated on bud-size.....to the point that it's all you seem to focus on. There's no other way of telling you that your buds are perfect and you'll do well as long as you don't over-nute, give the right nutrients (keep N in the diet), and water often.

Im glad u didn't just ignore me cuz i know i can be very very annoying :P I have no experience and i was lookin many videos and photos of buds and some were realy huge for end of week 4... or is it just the camera that makes buds look more fat than they realy are? im a bit confused dont know how should a bud look like in a specified week of flower :P totally nob in this... :P
