Tricome colouring ?

Hi I need help on a question. I was told I have a 9 week kush strain and today there are 3 weeks left and I was looking in my scope and tricomes are turning milky. About 25% are milky and I wanna know what you guys think.? I honestly am starting to think I have an 8 week strain.

I like when they r about 80% cloudy!!! More potent 20% amber. They say when trichs turn ambEr the THC is starting to degrade.

I chop when they are cloudy but no amber. I just can't waite. The more cloudy the better. match

Hi my question to you is how much longer do I have until they turn amber? I have not started to flush yet so if its an 8 week strain I need to start now and if a 9 week I have a couple more days. And I'm looking at them and only about 10% are milky. I was wrong on my first post. Also leaves are just starting to lighten up.

Add alittle N..sounds like a couple weeks. I found most listed time is FOS.

CBD causes the "couch lock" effect and its very prominent in trichomes that are in the amber stage. Clear trichomes contain a higher amount of thc thus giving you a "racing high". To add, strains with a higher percentage of sativa in their genetics will have very low numbers of amber trichomes even when the bud itself is completely ripe ie: fading leaves, receding of all pistils, and complete swelling of the caylxes. Trichomes in indica leaning genetics by the time harvest arrives (totally by the looks of the buds and the plant) will have a much higher number of amber trichs... This is what gives sativas and indicas their distinctive "highs".
Beyond the amber stage is when the desired effects start to waste away.
To my knowledge this is the way it works.


With all that said, I dont bother checking trichs any longer in regards to harvesting times, I look at the buds and plants as a whole.
