Wrapping up my second photoperiod run, Girl Scout Cookies Extreme. Week 9 out of 10 of flower. Watching the trichomes, expecting them to start turning cloudy. They are almost entirely clear, but a small percent of them are turning amber at the tip of the trichomes. Not sure what this means. Hard to share a pic that is zoomed in that close, but I have one in the very center of the pic I’m including with this post. Should I take the amber as a sign that she’s ready? Or ignore it, and wait for the clear to turn cloudy? Wrapping up week 9 of flower. Thanks everyone and have a great day.

It was on the bud. Mostly skipped the cloudy period that I had been waiting for and went straight to amber. I went ahead and cut them down yesterday. My others looked normal, more cloudy like they were supposed to. I’ll be sure to dry and cure it separately. Then, later on, I can label those jars as my “Problem Child” plant. I don’t smoke, myself, I just grow for the fun of it. But, I’ll let my people tell me what they think. If they don’t like that plant I can just get rid of it. Already gearing up for my next run, anyway. Happy Growing everyone, and thanks for all the advice. Oh
Is that a picture of the trichomes on a leaf or on a bud? The trichomes on the leaves tend to turn a bit faster.
No, not at all
The trichomes on this one in particular are continuing to get darker, however, almost none are going from clear to cloudy. Just clear straight to amber. Should I cut her down soon?
I'd give it another week and then take a picture just like that one. Look and see if you see a minimum of 5 percent amber when you look at it. I personally like more but I wouldn't pull it before 5. You have a decent amount of clear in there and there is like less than 1%.
Can you post a close up bud picture also? Not too close.
