Thanks for the advice. I think I’ll be waiting too. Probably another week, maybe more. I usually harvest by trichs. I do find that I’m prone to harvesting too soon and not letting enough amber trichomes show through. I’m going to wait this time as long as I can. I’ve never harvested a plant with mostly all amber trichomes so I’m gonna push this one.Looking sharp! Still a lot of white pistils, and with 50% clear tricks I think waiting seems be the best plan. Do you usually harvest by trichs or drinking or some combination of factors?

I have heard from a number of quality growers here that waiting for the clears to get cloudy is more important than watching for a certain percentage of amber. Since I do almost all my growing outside, clear/cloudy is all I'm looking for in trich color, along with a major slowdown in drinking and change in look/smell.I don't usually wait for amber, but I gave it a shot on one plant last year
Probably in a minority of 1 here, but I don't think it improved the smoke any, just a slightly heavier hit
The difference was barely noticeable though - to me
^ This...change in look/smell
This is what I aim for too. But it seems like my buds tend to be on the airy side. I don’t usually get that nice firm nug, well some are but most aren’t. This is the only reason I am considering letting her go more amber, the hope being they get more dense. I usually chop when I have 50-60% cloudy/milky trichomes. In all reality I am most likely doing something else incorrectly to not get my buds as dense as I want them to be. This time I used more light intensity than I ever have and I also upped the nutes to see if this would help. So far it seems like it’s a possibility they are denser than previous grows but only time will tell. I do know what you mean about the smell changing though. When my sniffer is working right I can sometimes tell the change in the smell from day to day lol.I have heard from a number of quality growers here that waiting for the clears to get cloudy is more important than watching for a certain percentage of amber.

The sun will amber trichomes long before they would normally change indoors.
Cool thanks Roy. I’ve always thought more Amber is going to give you a more couch lock effect which is not what I’m looking for. This is why I tend to harvest when most of the trichomes are cloudy as I’m looking for that head high with energy and a nice buzz.I don't usually wait for amber, but I gave it a shot on one plant last year

Nice that’s a great idea. I’ll try and remember it on my next runI grow mostly autos in tent - an observation:
I feed them what I think they will need in the next two weeks, so end of veg/early flower is max out on the nutes
Adding flower booster in week three of bloom [instead of week 5-6] makes for earlier budding which in turn gives them more time to nug up and finish nicely [imo]

I would say that healthy plants and more light would be the way to maximize the genetics, but some varieties are always going to be fluffier than others.But it seems like my buds tend to be on the airy side.
