Okay thanks, im thinking of doing a staggered harvest, the lower buds are still immature, what do you think about doing that

2% amber will be a very heady high if the majority are cloudy. She will probably pack on more weight with a longer flower time.

only a 30x magnifying glass can tell you that I keep flushing till leaves go completely yellow and buds swell a lot of old school growers go by the orange hairs and others open up seed pods when breeding to check seed maturity and like many say if you think she's ready wait 2 weeks

Okay, how much longer do you figure I should wait, looking for couchlock effect

No problem man honestly let am go 2 more weeks if you wait till trichomes turn a little Amber and a majority is milky white that's when you harvest for couchlock also make sure you keep flushing also even though it's hard to wait the true last 2 weeks is when she packs the most weight ! happy growing !

Gotta let her run until she starts yellowing heavily and you are looking at 50%+ amber trichs imo.
Just gave my last lady a green house a couple weeks ago to see how long and couch lock paralytic she could go.
Chopped her last week due to black mold (outdoor obviously ). She is scheduled for the back yard fire pit this weekend.
Long story short, it is up to you. If you chop too early, you may never know her couch lock potential. If you wait too long, you may lose her altogether.
She will likely continue to add weight until she starts dying because she is so mature.

Hi, if the mite problem is under control, then you can gain bigger, fatter buds by waiting, check the plant daily, squeeze the big buds to see if they are full, check the pistils for colour (amber) and keep checking the triches, my preference is 75% cloudy 25% amber.
Enjoy
