Get a magnifying loupe and check the trichomes. You're looking for milky trichomes with some amber.

No problem bro. There's no point in doing all the hard work and then pulling your baby before she's ready. Personally I prefer all milky. Others prefer 25% amber. It's a matter of preference really. Enjoy .

If it's a CBD strain you want to harvest it early!

Is this documented somewhere? I've read all kinds of theories on when to harvest a CBD strain, and I'll be growing a CBD Auto on my next grow. So you're saying harvest when all are milky with hardly any amber?

Yep as early as it's possible if you want max CBD concentration.

Is this for CBD rich plants only? Because I know with "regular" plants more amber equates to less THC and more CBD present!

You're confusing CBD with CBN, which happens frequently. CBD is a precursor to THC and that means while plant is maturing there's less CBD and more THC, which later turns to CBN as trichomes become amber.

I'll be growing a CBD auto cheese in a few weeks, harvest when cloudy as possible or more clear than usual?

I'd chop it wirh both transparent and cloudy trichs for more CBD like 50/50.
