I dont know , I would wait a few

What is the aprox amount of days that one bud might be at peak cutting time? One day? 3 to 5? I understand this is a stupid question.

Usually a 2week window opens when a bud is first harvestable.It's then down to preference as to when the grower actually chops.........

Thinking it is time to cut some of these...not the ones that dont look ready but I think some are even thou I cannot see any ambers.

9.5 weeks. Some look to have a bit more to go but think some need to get cut now. Ideally I can wait a couple of days.

Then wait.....if in doubt....leave a little longer......trust me you will no when they r done...

Ya, I am glad I didnt cut yet as I checked them with a loupe last night and they are not ready. 10 weeks now. IDK if I feed again or just water. It seams it will be ~1-2 more weeks.

Water only if you see some seriously cloudy trichs(most trichs)...if your still seeing alot of clear then yes feed and delay harvesting......patience is key my friend.........it's worth it in the end........

See this is we're the question has to be asked...........do you count from the flip.....or......do you wait until flowers show their first pistils....an argument that will continue till the grower decides for himself......me well in my experiences I would rather wait until I c my first pistils........it seems to b more accurate an inline with what's wrote on the packets.......

I think that's the way to do it. People who count from the flip seem to also be the people who complain that the seed vendor's numbers are off by a few weeks.

I concur......

Ya, that puts me about 2 weeks less so just over 8 weeks now.

Yep...

Counting from the flip is the only consistent, accurate way of doing it though. Every grower has a different idea of when "flowering" begins, and every garden and phenotype is different, so for the sake of consistency I start counting when the lights get flipped to 12/12.

Therefore you would finish in 9weeks if the packet says 8.....

Does it matter if my hanging room is dark or light?

Yes.....dark is best.....the trichs will still ripen if kept in the dark with the proper rh.....
