Trichomes are turning color and they look right

[Mrgrows466]

I've never harvested off of what the trichomes look like but I red that when the turn like an amber color they should be harvested. How far along am I?

 

[Mrgrows466]

This what it looks like

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

She’s ripe.

 

[Mrgrows466]

She’s ripe.

Can I flush her for the next week or is my window for harvesting becoming short?

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

It’s up to you. Probably been in the harvest window for a few days, you could chop next week, but would be much more sedative smoke.

 

[Mrgrows466]

Well then let me wait till next week. I thank you for your help man.

If you want it to have a sedative effect, then wait until around 40-50% of the trich's turn amber.

if have any type of anxiety when smoking weed, it’s best to wait for loads of amber. That is definitely what I’m doing. Might be 14 weeks of flower, but we’ll worth it. Congrats on being patient. So many chop it down early and experience “helicopter high” with “oh shit, they’re coming for me!” Lol

I love the 'Helicopter' high. I have too much to get done. Can't afford to be couch-locked all the time.

I recently smoked up some helicopter weed. I think I lost 10 lbs. I was not Hungary at all. Could not sleep well either. It is great for days out and about.

That's a morning smoke for me. Then a nice couchlock at night.

Yes you harvest by your trichome and yours is clear so you have a while to go, I chop when I see about 20% amber, you can chop when all your trichome is milky but it's an early chop and weed will go straight to your head, if you want a nice body hight you need some amber, ignore the pistils about 10 days before you chop flush out plants give plants cold tap water it won't hurt them help reduce foxtailing and turn pistils.
