Harvest & Curing Will my trics go Amber?

[AutoMan]

All my autos are grown under 12/12 so I can do a photo alongside....I did see some amber on my AKR...but seldom allow any to go further since I prefer the "milky" state...Back when I first started growing autos, I kept a log in order to determin which 'maturity' level was preferable to me...found amber'ed to be NOT a preference....some like the couch lock, some don't....Several months ago, I let a couple of strains go to 50% amber (don't remember strains) so I'd have some pain relief smoke....but normally finish for the 'up' effect....
Have a digital usb micro on christmas list...now just using a 420 scope...but amber tint is still easy to see.....

i would not worry at day 58 its still early days some autos can go 12 weeks and you just in week 8 give it a week or 2 IMO there seems to be a fair amount of people cropping to early on here based on unrealistic breeder claims.

I agree.

I think this AKR will go to about day 70. Seeing as though more than half of the fan leaves are still green and prestine, and the trics are not where I want them. In a few days it will hit the two week mark of water only and I might snip a sample at that time. Still debating.

By the way the package says "55 days from seed to harvest"

no breeder will put true flower times as people would shop with the other breeders that stretch the truth
the way i see it most autos veg for 14days and flower for 8 weeks so 10 weeks would be a good bet even if you do not get amber trichs it can be a rare genetic trait but it does not mean it will not be potent

M?ost weight is packed on in the last 2 weeks so your patience will be rewarded

It's definitely situational and not something you can judge based on the breeder notes. Not to mention there can easily be 10-20 days difference in harvest times depending on what sort of effect you're looking for. I want more of a daytime high rather than a couch lock, so I'm about to chop a couple of plants right around day 60. The trics have been cloudy with some amber for a while now, most of the fan leaves have dried up, and the buds don't really appear to be fattening up anymore over the past few days. So in my case, 70+ days would be way too long. As with nutes, proper watering, and a lot of other factors, harvest time is something you have to learn to read for yourself.

I prefer the "milky" state...Back when I first started growing autos, I kept
a log in order to determin which 'maturity' level was preferable to me...found
amber'ed to be NOT a preference...

Yup..I did exactly the same..that is why I always tell eveyone to Test Bud..
it is not a sneaky..can't wait smoke....it is to asses what stage smoke is Best for you...easy over or well ripened..

In the whites I go early milky..for Good Up pain-killing effect..
and
over amber for really heavy duty pain-killing.

Gotta say..the pain-killing effect is Good in Both..
But..
the ambers hit deep muscle spasming..spasticity..like nothing else I've had..prescription or canna..

But..Word of caution..the other half that smokes recreationally gets paranoia off the ambers...I Think they are simply too strong for them.

The more people we can get to but digital magnifiers on their christmas list...the faster we can start catagorising ALL of them....

I would upload a pic if my microscope took pictures but it doesn't. I just checked and my white dwarf has amber trichs. She's been growing for nearly 14 weeks. Today is the last day of week eight since she showed sex(white hairs). Id say right now she has ten percent amber give or take. She's gonna be comming down very soon.

Day 63 and I just scoped the 1st Amber tric on the main cola! Pretty happy about it.

No Amber yet on the side branching, but im sure I will spot some in the next day or two.

Im at 10 weeks and 1 day on my HBD, and barely spotted any amber trichs at all. Shes been abused though, and is real tiny. My AKR had 3/4 amber when I chopped at about 9 weeks and a day or 2. Shes some good smoke. Both really abused and tiny.
