Buds are starting to turn purple and seems dried out all the sudden. I took a look at the trichomes and I see a lot of amber
Is this over riped?

Indeed chop her down that's how I like em bro.. IMO far to many chop to early robbing themselves of weight, potency and flavor but I remember a day when I was also first year I grew the original skunk gorilla style in the early 80s I hacked down 30 thinking they were ripe but grew some indoors that winter and let them run ohh my so much better… enjoy your plant! You did good!

My wife agrees that it’s time to harvest. “Textbook” she says.

Textbook?

Like it’s a “textbook case” of a plant that’s ready to harvest.

You might have been correct. But the buds started to look degraded and dry. Leaves were starting to curl inwards and becoming brown and crispy. There were a few white pistils but mostly brown (about 80% brown). The higher buds where about 80% milky and 20% amber and the lower mids was mostly milky and a little clear. So I chopped her today. I Smoked an undevloped bud from her a few days ago, just as a sample. And it got me really stoned. So I took her down today. Now she is hanging and drying
want to add it is mostly indica. So I want to keep the trichs on the ligther side

Ya I mean its your plant, chop when you like but that plant would have filled up and become more dense as well as increase of potency and flavour. Live and learn!You might have been correct.

I let most my photos go for 12 weeks. For me, Autos don't have a schedule, they're done when they're done
