Closing in on my very first harvest.
Acapulco Gold from Barney's.
Today will be 7 full weeks and 1 day after the first pistils appeared.
1/30: is 7 full weeks or 49 days.
2/6: is 8 full weeks or 56 days.
2/10: is 60 days
2/20: is 70 days
Barney's Site indicates 60-70 days of flower. For whatever that's worth.
I see amber trichomes but most of the amber trichomes are occurring on the lowest sections of the buds. I also see a lot of mostly clear and some milky on the top half of the buds. Which is confusing as to exactly where along the buds I should be inspecting the trichomes.
I have a few questions...
The plan is to harvest the whole plant at one time.
Please chime in with some insight and advice. Thanks!
Overall view of the buds
Circled Red: Main Cola. Lots of fresh pistils still pushing out. This is the one where the bottom half has amber trichomes and the top half is clear/milky.
Circled Blue: One of the larger buds.
Circled Yellow: Smaller Bud lower and further from the light. Tucked in the middle of the bunch. Most of the pistils are all brown.
Circled White: Smaller bud on the outside further from the light. Gets a lot of air from the fan. Will that air brown the pistils faster?

I have a few questions...
- Where should I be inspecting the trichomes? The top half of the cola or bottom half? On the lower part of single bud there are a lot of amber, on the upper part of the same bud there are no amber trichomes most of them clear.
- Should I be taking an average of the overall ripeness of the trichomes of all the buds on the entire plant?
- Also, the pistils on the smaller buds further from the light have turned brown. While the larger taller buds closer to the light are still growing pushing out fresh pistils. Can someone provide insight.
- The confusing part is that the plant is still 11 days away from Barney's recommended minimum 60 days. Which I know is a round about average flowering time. Should I be taking an overall average of the trichome color of the entire plant?
