HELP! Need advice on when to harvest

[Tracie67]

My first time growing. Getting cold at night (1-4degrees - she sleeps in the shed) and daytime temps 8-11degrees. Leaves starting to deteriorate. Tricomes appear milky but maybe only 10%-15% amber (checked with a loupe). How much longer can I let her go or is it time to harvest?

Great first grow, looks like they need a little more time to me,
You can't bring em inside under a light where it's warm, so they can mature?
Harvesting early is a no no in my book, I'm to old for that heart racing, it ain't no fun.
If you got to, that's another thing, can't nobody say nothin then,lol
You did a good job though, congrats

It's pretty hard to see but I believe I still see alot of white pistils but obviously I can't see the trichomes. It's a preference on you that makes the call when there's few amber with alot of milky you will get an up high energetic feeling but the more amber trichomes will be a couch lock High. Just make sure you are looking at the trichomes on the buds and not the leaves because leaves are liars lol

I'm in the same boat with 2 large outdoor photos and i'm not gonna harvest yet. They sit outside in what sun i get now and are drug under a canopy if i see off weather like lots of heavy mist. I'm going to place them in a garage later in the week cause of " freeze " forcasts then will decide to chop. Mine are all cloudy and all hairs are orange or rust color curled in but few amber. I'm taking a huge chance with these last two, pushing it they are thick with resin very sticky. They can tolerate some time in the 30-40 f it's not ideal but if you can keep them warmer it would help. Good luck
