Ready to harvest ?

I looked at a couple pics and then got really annoyed by the site hosting your pics throwing ads for whores on my computer.

No, not ready. Get a 60X cheap $12 microscope and start looking at your trichomes. I would harvest as close to 100% cloudy as possible, probably no more than 10% amber. good luck.

Check Tric's right at the finish...
First wait for plant to *STOP* making new white hairs...
If you see white hairs, at least another week....
Then all the hairs*ALL* the hairs will recede back into bud...
Then check for Tric's...
----------------
FYI: Amber Tric's mean degraded... meaning no THC...
You want to get High... THC makes you high...
Amber Tric's do not give you "couch lock"

Good Luck...

I find 25-50% amber weed turns to dust in my hands...
I think maybe you are smoking 50% less potent weed than you could....
To each his own... if you are smoking dust and like it...
That's just great...
And in fact... your opinion... Enjoy your 50% Amber Tric weed....

I call Bull Shit....
You probably don't even check your tric's and think *HAIRS* turning brown is amber weed...
Have a nice day

  The first thing you need to know is that there are 3 "states" in a trichomes development.
  
  
  
  
  The first state is clear. Clear trichomes contain precursor cannabinoids (cannabinoids are the different substances in cannabis).
  These precursor cannabinoids are not psychoactive (they do not produce a 'high') yet and harvesting clear trichomes will not give you a proper harvest.
  
  
  
  
  The second state is cloudy/milky. Cloudy trichomes contain fully realized THC (the by far main contributing substance in any cannabis high).
  You want to get as close to 100% cloudy trichomes @ harvest to get the most potency out of your plant. It's impossible to get 100% cloudy trichomes, since trichomes are always being produced and are always maturing, even after harvest the trichomes will continue to develop.
  
  
  
  
  The third state is amber. Amber trichomes contain degraded THC --> CBN. CBN represents a loss of 90% potency (from THC).
  CBN is not desirable in any harvest, since it not only represents a huge loss of potency but research into the substance has also shown that CBN does not produce a high like THC does, CBN produces a more sickly feeling not a true high.
  
  
  
  
  Understanding the difference between clear - cloudy - amber trichomes is essential in getting a proper harvest with a peak potency.

So when you dry your buds after harvesting them at 50% Amber...
What % amber are they when they are dried?
You do know... that some clear Tric's turn milky as they dry...
And some milky ones turn amber...
So after you harvest [at 50% amber tric's]
What % of the Billions of Tric's do you have when you light up?
My buds have billions and billions of Tric's
So if I had a bud in my had that had 2 billion Tric's in it... and 50% were Amber....
That bud would be dust...

Sorry... I think you are confused...

you grow how you want and ill grow how I want...... I would never harvest a day earlier then 15% amber... but prefer it a little more amber then that personally... I don't need to read up on that newb ass link bro... and I haven't noticed some good immediate change of color from trichs in the week or so it takes them to dry.. I donno wtf ur talking about... after a good long cure there is some truth to that... in the couple days time it takes it to dry no... I haven't noticed anything like that...
