Trichome and harvesting question

[jakej941]

I want to harvest my plants when the trichomes are mostly cloudy. Right now the trichs on the buds are about 50/50 clear and milky with the odd amber, maybe 1%. The trichs on my leaves are more cloudy than clear with about 20% amber. Should I just ignore the leaves and watch the buds for trichome development? Thanks

Hello
Yep just watch the buds.

Yep ... the trichomes are what's really important and they determine when it's ripe.
