Hello Cc420, When harvesting it is a personal preference on the type of high one likes. The site from GWE harvest will help you through this critical time so you can make the best decision on what you prefer. Speedy /work /couch or anything in-between. I like mostly cloudy. Hope this helps your decision. Good Luck ! Good Growing !! -
I used a magnifying app . in your personal opinion how does it look. How do my trichomes lookComment

Need to take a better look at them on the buds and not the leafs.

Howdy Cc420, great looking plants! From what I could see, the tricomes on the leaves look as if they are about 80% cloudy now, but One must look at the condition of the tricomes on the buds. I prefer to harvest when the tricomes are approximately 15% to 25% amber (more amber if You want more of the 'couch lock' effect). Just from the photos that You posted, I would let them go for another week or so, until some amber shows.Smoke weed,.....grow peace!Comment

Thanks dw2. Im just afraid to let it grow to long and lose all the thc. Im gonna give it a few more days or so snap a few more pics. See where shes at. In your round about knowledge how far till you think a good plant like this would be at it's prime?Comment

Howdy Cc420, I do not know because of several factors; first, I do not know how old the plant s are or how long they have been in flower, secondly, the environment of the growing space (wattage and type of lighting, etc.), thirdly the time required to mature varies from strain to strain and plant to plant (within a given strain).
With my setup (220 watts of CFL lamps at 5000°K and 2700°K (mixed 50/50)) my grows have varied from 21 weeks to 28 weeks. I have only grown from some old 'bag seed' that I had saved over the years, so I do not have any direct experience with any of the newer strains. The best thing that I can tell You is to watch the condition (clear, cloudy, or amber) of the tricomes to determine when to harvest. If You want the most THC (as much as the genetics will allow) then harvest when all of the tricomes are completely cloudy. If You want a more relaxing effect, let them go until some of the tricomes turn amber. I prefer mine at around 20% amber.

Sweet thank you. Its actually an outdoor grow no added nutrients. Just the sunshine if I remember correctly I started the plant late February early march. If I could guess a height with out measuring her...I'd say shes about 2 ft. Tall. Strain is wedding cake all buds are growing up the stalk to side leaves or stems which I thought was quite odd. Also the few fan leaves it dkes habe only contain 1-3 leafed leaves if that makes sense.Comment

Auto correct. I ment to say there are no other stems that the stalk so it's just one straight plant lol.Comment

一You need a high magnification magnifier! Look at the trichomes from the side (the top view tends to trick your eyes, because you will feel they are white! Actually it is still transparent!) In my experience they should take time! Your photo is not clear enough; I am not sure about the time! Hope it helps you! I like to harvest when they are milky white!Comment

I’m flushing and pulling today 😊 if you look close you will see amber. Most growers want at least some amberComment
