Hey, i had a quick question, on an afghani x widow which i am currently
waiting for the development of, it's now 60 days into flwr period, the majority
of trichs i would say have turned cloudy, however, very few are amber.... now
some suggested to wait until a third have turned amber, while some say half
cloudy is the way to go, now judging by the rate at which the trichromes
mature, this would be a very large swing period. Generally, i like to let
sativas maintain a bit of their clear trichs, just to keep the heady buzz, but is
there a unique way that ya'll deal with your mostly indicas? Tried lookin
around the boards, but couldn't find anything real definitive.

Thanks a bunch, stay kynd, and if ur bowls got a hole, pluggit with a nugget
=).

Once the trich's start turning opaque their good to go.Not all have to turn cloudy, and some varieties will never really turn amber.Its suggested in the literature to harvest before any complete opaque/amber change.I tend to wait until there is an obvious dring of the trich's to touch and in appearance.-SMOKEJAGUAR

yes one must be patient to get the best smoke. Wait until half the pistils have died.

Pistils arent as good an indicator as the trich's for determining maturity.-SMOKEJAGUAR

Wait for the trichs! When a few start turning amber thats the time to harvest.
