New guy, first grow, this ready?

[Thisbudz32]

Yo. Is this ready. It’s week 8 since I flipped lights to 12/12. They vegged for 8 weeks as well. I flushed them two weeks ago. They have really turned yellow& purple since then. With fan leaves dying. Just random bag seed, so don’t know the strain. But they look indica dominant from seeing pictures online. I checked trickles with jewelry’s loupe . I think they are almost all cloudy. Some buds have ambers. But not a ton of amber. I am thinking of leaving them in dark for a few days....

So this shit ready guys?

Calyxes are swollen so if the trichomes are to your liking then go for it. If you harvest when just a few trichomes have amber then you'll get more of an energetic high, the more amber the more relaxing the high is going to be until around 80% of all of the trichomes are amber when the heads start to fall off and the thc starts to degrade into cbd and cbn. So you can harvest anytime between now and then depending on your liking, but if you wait longer you will also get a heavier yield.

Thanks for the info. Heavier yield is tempting. I didn’t realize they would get much bigger. Is waiting till 50% amber too long? I like a well rounded high.

I'd be happy with all cloudy and about 20% amber. 50% would make roots sprout out my ass and into the couch.

roger that. They are about 5% amber right now. I’ll wait for 20%.

Second grow I added 2 more plants to the same 3x3 area. They are doing much better. Used seed bank seeds instead of bag seeds. Barney’s Farm LSDs. Week 3 of flower.
