I am having a issue of deciding if I’m ready to harvest. One side of my plant has amber starting and the other side has a lot of clear trichomes . Any thoughts?
Some of my pics that I could actually see
First picture yes,
Secondary is debatable (early harvest changes overall effect) I would cut her too
Third picture… Snip snip snippity snip snip snip

Third picture… You might want to wait a bit, but you learn less when you don’t roll the dice with more statistics…
Good luck

Ok thanks, I was thinking about waiting a few more days
When you’re seeing some amber trichomes and some clear, it’s often because different buds and even different parts of the same cola mature at slightly different rates. I like to judge readiness by the trichomes on the actual calyxes, not the sugar leaves, and aim for mostly cloudy with a sprinkle of amber for a balanced effect. You can harvest the most mature tops first and let the lower buds go a few more days if you want. Waiting those extra days will let those clear heads turn cloudy and build a bit more weight. Ultimately it’s personal preference – earlier harvest will be more uplifting, later harvest more sedative.
