the clear is kinda forgot about people are more concerned with cloudy/amber % clear is just whats left over.
i just dont want any ambers so it is what it is.with 4 growing younger sisters and less room each day id rather sacrafice this than squash i younger plant.that would hurt yield a lot more.
1.in a perfect world we would harvest one bud or branch at a time.many folk chop a plant in 2 some 3 spread over a week n more.at that stage of their life near impossible to kill.
2. a plant is very unlikely to be 100% cloudy all over(max thc),i really should chop it in two stages (but im lazy) a medical grower (tad less thc more cbd,n,g and others)would wait for lots of ambers.im recreational eejit i only want to get high in my head,hate the body stone.
3.ohh yes more cloudy the better,probably better to have a few more ambers than clears,assuming going for max yield/weight.and yes +/- a bit of personal preference head/body sativa/indica i do enjoy a good whitey so would be an early cutter.
i kinda look at harvest as a 2 maybe 3 week window.no right or wrong time to cut,its just up to the grower/smokers own tastes.
i havnt explained anything,confuzzed us both more.sorry.
