I'm on my first grow and I'm finishing up my first plant but I'm not 100% sure if I should chop or wait a little longer. The strain is GSC by sunwest genetics and they specify the flowering period is 7-9 weeks. I'm at the end of week 7 and if I'm looking at the pistils on the very top buds they are all brown but as I look down the plant they are mostly white. Around the middle its around 50% brown and at the bottom they are completely white which is expected to take longer to mature.
If I'm looking at the trichomes on the top buds, they are about 75% cloudy and 25% clear. I'm planning on waiting till I see a few amber before I chop but I've also read that not every plant's trichomes turn amber.
I'm trying to chop it at the highest thc levels without too much amber. I'm just not sure if this plant's trichomes will eventually turn amber or if I'm just over maturing the plant.
Thank you.
