I have read enough to know when the plants are ready for harvest, I believe. What I have not been able to learn through reading is how to tell when the buds are close enough to ripe to start the final flush. I'm 2 days into Week 8. The plants have lots of trichomes but the heads do not look that big. They all still appear clear. Little white hairs are all darker brown/orange.
How do you tell when to flush? At the first hint of amber trichome? Any input would help ;-}
