Glad it helped. As for how long, I honestly couldn't say as I'm not that experiences an indoor grower. My advice is to keep an eye on the trichomes and watch for the ones on the buds to start turning amber. Once you get to the point where 5-10% of them are going amber, that's when I'd harvest, but that's just me. More of an up buzz, less of the couch-lock, from what I understand.

There are other indicators, as BearWater mentioned, like the pistils and the swelling of the buds, how far along the plant is when it comes to cannibalizing its own stores (when you see the lower leaves start to turn and fall off as the nutrients are being absorbed into the buds), things like that. There are a ton of folks here that know much much more than I do about all this, and I'm sure someone will chime in soon enough with more specific information. But, I'm happy to pass on what knowledge I do have, as most of it I learned here on the Farm.

Cheers,

BA.

Before youre ready to look at trichomes you want to wait for the hairs to wind down. The exception ro that is if its foxtailing, and that'll drive you batty trying to figure an optimal chop window.

Lots of growers look for a "trigger" for harvest but it's 100% a combination of conditions... hair color bract having taken it back in, chomes color, cannibalizing resources... it adds up to a picture rather than one thing setting off a bell.

How does it look? I still have white hairs but I also see a little bit of amber trichomes in some of the bud. I know it’s getting close. Just wanted some feedback
