Right on point sea!!!
I never use the trichome thing to gage end.
SOME strains will never get ambers,but the key
is to have them full of energy at the end stage!
the right kind of energy,not nitrogen,but its very
hard to gage this with every strain being different.
SO,i look to see the fullness of bud,amount of red hairs and how many whities are still poppin......
outdoor commercial you must harvest a bit early,
avoiding rot if possible since thay loose their guard against molds at the 3/4 mark budding.
A seeded crop will get you plenty red trichomes!
making a beautiful hash this way too....
CHEMDOG D,is a strain that should get amber,gold
atleast...
Afghans are this way!
Compost and organics give a better chance of amber at harvest assuming the energy lasts to the end with a good long flush of rain water is best!!!
THESE DAYS,amber trichomes are a hard to find thing as the old sativas with colored blood helped..
in the hybrids,had 1 that would totally get RED resins and was the most potent weed i ever grew!!
i find it harder an harder these days to ripen weed?
it is their blood we are loosing.......
natural settings,taken from their origins to different conditions and constantly breeding HIGH thc sugar plants.
Just my thoughts?
Keep trying to find a way folks,but not all will amber and you only need 5% amber anyhow!!!
peace,LG
I also think it's a shame that cannabis had to be hidden inside and grown with artificial lights and pumped up with chemicals as many do. Hopefully as attitudes are changing and legalization is on the horizon, we can grow freely and naturally outdoors again.
