Everyday I become more and more eager to just chop this beast down! This is what I go for ya, I just flushed this morning and the trichs are about 90% milky. The weather for the rest of the week is 82 and sunny and I don't want to miss out on a hole week of greatness but I dont want to wait for the trichs to degrade either! This is the 13th week of flowering. So, I ask in great desperation....should I let it go another week and hope it's not going to degrade or should take this mother down?!

P.S. It's the one and only girl left due to inclement weather!

90% milky and 10% clear? Or 10% amber?
If 10% amber, harvest now to not lose any more THC.

THC is degraded into CBN (which occurs when trichomes shift from milky to amber).

Ive been looking at them upon every hour an I keep on changing my mind. Some of them are starting to turn milky and some of them are completely milky. I'd have to say 70% completely milky, 10% starting to turn milky, 10% clear and 10% amber. That is my final answer!

Sounds to me like they're long overdue for harvest. About 1/3 milky is best, imo.

I would harvest sooner rather than late then

33% milky? I was under the impression that as close to 100% milky as possible is best for highest THC content.

That is correct SCT.
You want as close to 100% milky trichomes as possible, to harvest at maximum THC content.
