I know people like to harvest at different times according to different stages of the trichomes being clear/cloudy/amber - this is my first real grow so I'm a little anxious. Hoping that anyone who has grown could take a look at the 3 pictures and say if they'd harvest now or not.
Looks far from ready to me. Not like crazy long just not ready to chop any time soon. I'm seeing mostly clear trichs that just have hints of cloudiness starting to form in them. Different parts of the plant will have trichs that mature faster than others though so that's something to take into account.
If it's near a sugar leaf edge or tip is is likely to start clouding and turning amber before many other places on the plant. From what I can tell those pics are from calyx's though but it doesn't matter. Where ever those pics are from that bud isn't ready yet.
Depending on your preference you can harvest earlier or later for a little more head high with early and a little more body stone with later. A lot of people tend to harvest indicas earlier so that they don't get too stoney and harvest sativas later so they have a little balance to them but personally I like a barely early sativa. I want it to crawl up in my head and twist it around for a bit.
