Hello all. Have a quick question. So here I have a golden goat in flower. A lot of her hairs are already turning orange but the trichomes are not gold yet. So far clear to milky. So do I wait for what percentage of trichomes to turn yellow or the hairs? If all the hairs are golden but not the trichomes do I just wait them out?
From my understanding pistil color change is usually just an indicator of time when you should start to monitor the trichomes. Some say when 50-70% of the pistils change color, start monitoring your trichomes.
When to harvest from the color of trichomes I've come to conclude is personal preference. (Like which lights to use) Some prefer to harvest when they're mainly all cloudy/milky. Others prefer to wait longer until they're 10-15% amber.
When trichomes are cloudy/milky is when they're at their peak THC percentage. I believe this produces the headier speedy high. 10-15% amber I believe produces or adds a body high/couch lock effect.
I'm just regurgitation what I've gathered. I'm still new to this as well and learning daily. Anyone please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
