Sometimes you'll get a little amber on sugar leaves due to handling… i would take a sample as soon as most of the trics are cloudy.

Thank you 4n12c, do you mean 25% less pistils or 25% less trichomes?

Roughly 25 % less ambered (brown) pistils than Your plants at same day 52.

As written, I would give Yours atleast 5-7 days more, but if You want a rush head high, rather than ANY body, You might want to start pick it now.

However, alot of cultivars really put on alot of weight / Cannabinoid development during there last 10-14 days.

The 8 remaining colas are packing on the weight now, lovely to see them getting chunky.

But all I want is Trichome weight, right. I don't need plant fiber.

• Do more trichomes pop out after buds start getting chunky

• Do the current trichomes get bigger?

It hard to estimate but it doesn't seem like from the photos. There is no place to put more trichomes. LOL

Do you put your plants in dark before you harvest??
I've seen over the yrs., that the tri's get a little riper and a little more.
I do 24 to maybe 36 hrs.
I think at this point you be happy no matter what.

I usually wait untill almost all of the hairs turn brown then I check trichomes after that point. If there is still a lot of white hairs I don't even bother looking at the trichs. But I guess I like mine a little more ripe I like the body stone

If you have something that is working for you, that is the most important thing. There seem to be infinite variations on every aspect of growing weed.

I like trying new ideas and finding better ways.
When a guy with Hazy's experience and clear thinking shares how he does it.... I am gonna copy like a mirror.
Later, when I understand the reasons I can tweak his rules to my tastes.

Some people would suggest that if you like a body stone... choose a more Indica strain...don't sacrifice THC for groggy CBN.
But of course the canabinoids affects everyone different.

Have you tried a strong Indica harvested early? I though it was fascinating that Hazy would harvest a pure Indica at 50% cloudy. That has to be lowering yields...but do we want plant weight or THC weight.

Some people would suggest that if you like a body stone... get it more from pleasant Indica strains...less from groggy CBN.

Hazy's information is new to me but seems like a good guide. I usually dont let my trichs get too Amber but just try to aim for fully cloudy. I will have to give that 50/50 clear cloudy a try. Doesn't hurt to learn new things and try them out.

 

[HubbaBubba]

I see mostly cloudy, some clear, a few amber (golden, hard to see after AFN compresses the image):

@Hazy would you chop this cola or let it go a few more days?
Maybe it is ready now, let the clear trichomes turn cloudy with THC while it dries

 

[4n12c]

Its also strain dependent in terms of pushing late thrichome production / fill.

However, the most important part in the last 10-14 days, is the perfection of the Cannabinoid profile within the Resin glands heads.

I said before it's a personal preference, i always take samples depending on strain to see where i'm at, i'm an up smoker …not really looking for the sedative effect.. i like it all in the head mostly. there are many good reads on the subject …here is one from Subcool http://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2009/10/16/amber-alert and a little more technical http://www.cannabisculture.com/content/2009/06/12/inside-trichome
