When to harvest

[Hdinkleman]

Have two plants from nirvana seeds. an original glue and a white rhino

question im having is where is the best place to check trichomes for ripeness?

on the white rhino (breeder reccomended 8-10 weeks) the top cola sugar leaves are almost completely amber, but have clear heads.
on the glue plant (breeder reccomended 7-9 weeks) i am starting to get some cloudy but not much for amber just checking the top colas.

im confused, because im just finishing week 6 flower so if anything i would think if anything the glue would be closer than finishing rather than the white rhino?

also where exactly should i be checking trichomes? should i check the trichs further down the cola? or am i supposed to just crack into a bud?
i want to be clear i am not planning on harvesting yet, the rhino plant is taking on a golden hue from all the amber though and im confused and hope she isnt going to be overripe?
any suggestions here?

dont know if you can tell from the picture but the sugar leaves have a yellowish glean from the trichs. its especially noticeable in the tent but i cant get a decent picture in there

I would say a good while to go---I haven't had hardly any plants finish when the breeder says they will. I would plan on three weeks...

I think those buds in that pic still have a lot of plumping up to do

thats the rhino that says it is 8-10 weeks.
it wasnt vegged in the tent, reason its so small compared. i had to cut off 4 branches because the plant itself was just like a single top and i was getting some strange lime green colored leafs on the undersides of the canopy.
i gently pulled the branches apart and another cola snapped off like the stems of the plant are all soft. i didnt know if the stress will have any effects. i now have altered the fans in the tent to circulate much better.

so where should i actually check the trichs though?
has anyone experienced anything similar?

Breeders estimates are seldom accurate, usually takes longer, often several weeks. You want to check the trichomes inside of the bud, not on the leaf

also the plants top has at least 6” from the top of the OG

so pull apart a cola and look inside?

No, I mean try to look at the inside parts of the bud, not the sugar leaves on it
