Any Amber? I usually like about 25% amber with the rest cloudy.

 

[steawis]

no not seeing amber yet.. u think i should whait?

 

[Dave Groomer]

My understanding is if you chop now (no amber) you will have more of a "head uppy" high. With alot of amber you get coach lock. I try to get the balance in between. It depends what kind of high you want.

I hear ya. No matter when you chop her, today, tomorrow, Monday...It will still be some great smoke. Why? Because you grew it!!!!

i would let her go a bit longer , them buds will fill out more and thc will thicken up , , feed them some molasses , give them 2 weeks you wont be sorry trust me

 

[steawis]

sorry about question but whats that molasses? :S

 

[NuttyProfessor]

its a real thick sugar based liquid extract from sugar cane , they help make your buds nice and sticky and fat , i always have a bottle , last long time also , add 10ml to a 5 gallon watering can , google it , has to be unsulphured though

 

[steawis]

thanks again, gonna get it tomorrow

And make sure you look at trichomes on the buds, and not the leaves. The trichomes on the leaves can mature much faster than those on the buds.
