Trichomes cloudy to amber and hairs still a bit white

PuffinDaWeed · Oct 25, 2011

I went down stairs today and check about 7 or 8 buddlings lol on my plant the trichomes are cloudy to amber and the hairs on my buds are still a bit white what is your thoughts on this? Would they be ready to cut down or one more week?

well throw up a pic or two if you want a definite yes or no, but as a rul of thumb you want about 50% of your trichomes to be milky or amber and you want the red hairs to be in the majority while the white hairs begin to receed back. they will look different once there done, the frostier leaves will start to almost have a gold tint to them and they will feel kind of hard and chrispy as opposed to soft and cool and the tips of the leaves will start to hook slightly upwards.

once again though, pictures, there worth a thousand words lol

i just harvested, and my LA confidential was 70% amber trichs rest cloudy, but +90% hairs wher white... 2 days into dry though and theyre all reddish and wrinkled now.

Blue dream was also the same for me, but im thinkin i cut too early with her, so its slightly irrevelent..

You harvested your blue dream when 70% of trichs were amber?/? I think you harvested the blue too late.. I've grown blue dream quite a few times and i usually harvest for the THC, so i go for the 70% milky trichomes.. the LA turned out great because of it being indica thus higher CBD% thus you want the trichomes more amber...

Hey all...first time LA Con......any one have a comment about clear glassy trichomes with RED like blown glass? I have never seen any comments about the red early on.

Unfortunately I didn't realize my hook up to the computer for pictures is not with my microscope. I have to go in a mission and figure out where it is when last seen over 3 years ago

Why would you wait so long. I thought I understood anything over 20% amber is not a good thing.

It's whether you want more THC or more Cannabinol or more middle of the road. Early cloudy is more thc and later amber is more cannabinol. Early is more likely to be a high and later is more likely to produce a low. Timing is based on experience and desire.

Right unless a person likes to be "baked" (more of a sleeper)

You guys do realize you are giving advice on 3 year old pictures right?
I hope he's harvested by now. :grin:

get it to f..k

Uh and by the way.
CBD is NOT productive towards yur high. And does NOT give a "couchlock" effect.
cbd makes thc less effective thus the mo cbd yu smoke, the more thc yu have to smoke(ingest, shoot up watever) to get high.
THC = high
CBD = healing
