Plant looks almost ready 4 weeks into flower

[SteamingSticky]

I've only been flowering this plant for around 4-5 weeks. However I notice some of the trichomes are already turning orange while the bud still seems like it has a couple weeks to go. I dont want a couch lock smoke, is that what I'm headed for? This is an outdoor grow.

Alot of clear trichomes, definitely not finished. Looks good though..

Could it be from sun?

Never check trichomes on the Sugar Leaf they ripen very early always check deep in on the bud itself

That's exactly it. The trichs on leaves will amber up way before the buds are ready. Ignore leaf trichs. You're not growing for leaf, you're growing for bud/flower.

harvest before Amber if u don't want couch lock. all milky is a tastier more lively smoke. I harvest when i see the very first sign of amber. no later. degrades fast at that point.

In general I agree, but it also depends on the strain, the person (and possibly the couch, itself!!). A recent strain I grew would never be couch lock. 5-10% amber is about right for me.

But slightly off topic — I'd love to introduce those sugar leaves to my filter bags, @SteamingSticky.

Dont mind a 20%/80% split on orange to white hairs. But nothing more than that, that's why these leaves had me worry a bit. But all sugar leaves close to bud still show clear trichs so I'll hang in there

I mean orange to white trichs, not hairs
