New Grower Classic beginner question: When can i Harvest?Cream Caramel Auto

[SensiDilla]

Hi

Day 57 today, beginning of the 9th week.
2 cream caramel autos; 1 is more mature than the other (first 3-4 pictures) but they were planted together.
Usually this strain (Lots of cream caramel grow online) is harvested between 63-67 days (label says 8 weeks, so 56 days); usually more towards 63 unless you like them really mature.
My plan is to harvest next sunday so in 8-9 days, which would be like day 65 or 64....
Do you think these ladies are going to be ready?

You can check out the full grow journal if you wish it is on the new growers forum titled First Grow - Cream Caramel Auto.

I saw your bud picture on live help. Not allowed to answer there so I'll answer here. From your macro shot. I only seen one Amber
So I would wait till you get more and get the most out of your grow. I was always told at least 20% Amber. I found one Amber on mine 4 days ago and haven't found another yet. I bet you have another couple weeks

thanks for the reply...well, that macro picture is not probably too clear but if you look closely you can see several amber shades to quite a few trichomes, also in the blurred part to the left....not many, if i had to give it a % now it s maybe 2-3% amber...anyway thanks for the input, still far from that 20%..
Anyway I don't really know anyway..some people are saying to harvest when most trich are miky and only few ambers for max potency...other like you are saying to wait more til 20% amber for a more relaxing and couch locking high.
I don't know the difference to be honest...when i am high i am high, i can be less high or more high lol....so don t know what to do...if to go for the potency or the couch thing...

I follow this guide.

Ya know what else you could do take a smaller bud and Dry it in the microwave. Then you can see if you like the buzz you get.

Place bud in between two paper towels then20 seconds at 40% power. Flip and keep repeating until crispy on the outside. It takes a couple of mins doing this just don't let it get two hot . Pack bowl and have a sample. You won't be judging taste just potency. If you like start chopping.

SHit! this is the one time i regret that my microwave got broken....

Yeah i don t know...there are people telling me to chop it (on other forums), some say like you another week....I think I will give it another 4 days unless I get a reply from the AFN staff,,,,I know they re very familiar with sweet seeds....i doubt this would need another 2 weeks tbh...
My leaves are yellow and most of the fan leaves fell already...judjing by that guide i should harvest..

Also I prefer something that doesn't lock me on the couch but gives me more like an energetic kind of high so I can make music and this sort of things...

Id say let's see 63 days now 85 is avg. I prefer 90? that say's 27 days left, 2 weeks of feed and 1 week for strait water, that makes 22 days, If you take them early you lose a lot of weight the last 2 - 3 weeks is when they bulk up!

 

[SensiDilla]

By the way, it's 2 of them...maybe I can chop 1 now and 1 in week and see the difference...I don't know..

Heres hoping for a happy harvest dude. I'm sure it will be the best you ever smoked
