I can see a bit of amber tho looks like its readyI know looking at the overall plant can help too...but just based on these trichomes which progressed quickly in just 2 days...this is the top cola...thinking of waiting until the lower main colas look like this and chopping. Thinking 2-3 days tops. That way I’ll have 1 top cola possibly a little over ripe, mid colas dead on, and popcorn buds a little underripe.
Curious to hear you guy’s thoughts...fyi, the Amber is not from damage.

Well...I thought about it, problem is my humidity is so low in the house (struggling to bring it up to 40%) that I’d like to dry The Whole plant intact...and plus that would mean chopping the main cola, this plant was a herm too so I don’t want it to stop ripening and start throwing balls or nanners. Not sure if it would...Why don’t you selectively harvest and let everybody finish? as opposed to the rare/medium/well done approach, lol.
Here’s the bud from the closeup trichomesI can see a bit of amber tho looks like its ready
Edit: drop a pic of the nug
Wouldn’t that stress the plant to where it would stop maturing?I would chop at about this point — a few amber trichs start to appear on calyxes.
You might consider leaving a branch with a half decent bud or two on it, and let it go until there's more amber. See if you like it better.
No flushHave you started flushing?
You're not going to? how comeNo flush
Yes... but I think l a lot of info is misunderstood and incorrect. For instance, cloudy is what you want, not amber. In a perfect world you could have all cloudy with no amber but that doesn’t happen so people use amber as a way to easily see how ripe they are, and generally when you get ambers you have mostly cloudy. I think that’s where the amber deal comes from.it all depends on what you want from your weed.
have you read the pinned posts here on it? very informative.
Harvest Your Cannabis by DJ Short
Harvest Your Herb by DJ Short There are several important points to consider when choosing the optimum time to harvest your cannabis crop. There are different factors to consider between indoor and outdoor plants. There is the difference between Sativas and Indicas in bloom duration and final...www.thcfarmer.com
How to tell when to harvest if you don't have a loupe, or Don't rely solely on trichomes
We've all seen them, the threads asking, "Is she done yet?" or "Is she ready?" The vast majority of farmers are well familiar with using trichomes as the gauge for figuring out when to harvest their crop. Hopefully the newbies have gone through the two DJ Short threads posted up in this forum...www.thcfarmer.com
I think the first pic looks perfectly ripe. If I let it go more than another week I’d have a lot of over ripe bud at the rate it’s ripening.Out of the hundreds of trichomes displayed in your field of view I see less than a half dozen that are amber. I would probably start my flush in about a week giving your buds three more weeks to mature.
No need to. The plant already begins senescence without the need to flush...plus I don’t plan on ever using the rest of these nutes so might as well use em up to keep the PH stable.You're not going to? how come
Not that I've seen.Wouldn’t that stress the plant to where it would stop maturing?
Nice! so do you basically just cut stalks of what you want (most ripened) then let the rest continue?Not that I've seen.

Then why did you ask?Yes... but I think l a lot of info is misunderstood and incorrect. For instance, cloudy is what you want, not amber.

BUT.... I don’t ever think you would want amber. If you want a sleepy high grow an indica and if you want an up high grow a sativa.
