You need to keep a close eye on your plants, now that you see caterpillar looking worms close by, they could possibly be young bud worms, and you don't want them around.
 
Oh no, will they eat the buds? I really just wanna harvest now :/ not very sure on what the trichomes are like either!! The loupe isn’t great and I’m having trouble identifying the difference between clear and cloudy. Also what percent amber did you harvest your NL? Thanks D.A.A.S.69
 
Bud worms will get inside your buds, and eat em up. Just keep an eye on your plant,
Don't harvest early though, you will regret it if you do.
I try to let mine get 20-30percent amber, it's gonna be slow, but you will be glad you waited for them to get ripe first,
Similar to trying to eat a green banana, you don't want to do that.
Growing will teach you all about being patient.

What power loupe did you get? yours looks a little more powerful than mine. Coming from a person who has never seen trichs before a few days ago your second picture may show a handful of dark ones.
 
rizcuny, rizcuny, nice pictures, it don't take long after you start seeing a few amber.
Maybe 1week or longer. Some turn amber quicker than others.
Watch then trichome heads on them stems, they will also swell up and start falling over, cause they are full of the good stuff.
Your trich heads ain't swelled up yet, but they sure are looking good and getting there.
You still got a good many clear trichs. But have a little patience, and come harvest time you will be glad you waited.
If you harvest early, all you get is a rapid heat beat and you start peeking out the windows, looking for the law, for about an hour or two, lol.
 
Day 90 & 92 since germination. Have been away for the past week, flushed 5 litres per plant before I left (in 10L pots) and trichomes were still pretty clear. Went home today to water again and checked trichs very briefly, they seem to have swelled up and look pretty cloudy now but I didn’t check for very long. Gonna be going home on Tuesday to hopefully harvest if the trichomes are atleast 15% amber with all the rest cloudy. Will get pics on Tuesday
 
I’m guessing you just tried a bit 😆 Do u know what the trichomes were like on that bit u had? And what was the effect like if so
 
Yes there is some amber, 5 or 10% or so, kinda hard to tell exactly using the small loupe. The piece I smoked had only cloudy tricomes, it was a small lower bud. Have you tried any yet?
 
Have a little patience, You will be glad you waited, if your seeing a little amber, you are in the harvest window, but that doesn't mean that you have to rush and harvest her, right now.
NLights are indicas, and my NLights were about 25-35percent amber when I harvested her, and boy was it worth waiting on. Some of our favorite of all time.
Smelled like pineapples.
 
No I haven’t tried any yet, I’ve really only got big upper buds because the cfl bulbs didn’t penetrate any lower, don’t wanna touch them yet but I am hoping to harvest next week uncledoug
 
I don’t know how much patience I have left but I will wait, as my first grow I was expecting them to be done by what the seed bank said (70days) but I have learnt other wise D.A.A.S.69
 
Buds have pretty much stopped drinking now pots seem to be just staying the same after water, fan leaves and even sugar leaves now are turning brown and crusty and can just touch them and they fall off, tent and soil surface is riddled with thrips, not what they used to look like but black flying ones now... I have a poor loupe and struggle to tell the difference between clear and cloudy but can’t see any Amber I don’t think, I did flush very early and am on day 95 now. Think I may just harvest as I recon the buds will just detoriate considering there just sat in wet buckets with a load of bugs flying around and brown crusty leaves that used to be sugar leaves. Please let me know what u think
 
Here are some pics with flash, if u full size them u can zoom into the trichs, let me know what you think... Also I heard some autos don’t get Amber

all hairs have been 100% darkened for 10days atleast

rizcuny, yeah brother, I believe I would cut them down.
I ain't never grown an auto that didn't show amber, though, I'm sure maybe some people have though.
To hell with the bugs. Take her down, it's gonna be some good smoke.
Congratulations
