When to harvest?

Buds for mamma

I was told a long time ago that you always seek Peak Harvest Time and that was when about 60 - 70% of the pistils had changed colors and started dying back. Was also told when the trichomes start turning from Clear to Amber that they are turning from THC to CBN and CBD is this true. Thanks for any info or setting the record straight. Threw in a few photos for shits and giggles.

I would give it a few more weeks. Chopping too early will give you a very racy high. Let those pistils recede and you will notice the shape of the buds swell. That's when you know you're getting close.

It's a lowrider Autoflower at day 53 of 60 supposedly I had planned on letting it go a little longer just wanted to get some updated info as far as pistils turning and trichomes turning percent wise 2 Peak Harvest

Peak thc is when trichs are all cloudy not clear. Cloudy trichs turn amber as they start to degrade. Everyone has a personel preference on when to chop. I watch for most to go cloudy, and then when there's about 20% amber I chop. The trichs will continue to turn amber as you cure your buds.
