13 weeks into flower no amber trichomes

[erwinkai]

13 weeks into flower smell was strong/good but recently has become fainter with a hay like scent to it.

I trimmed the majority of fan leaves due to thrip damage a few weeks ago.

All pistils have been brown for a while but i cant find any amber trichomes. they do appear cloudy though. Should i go ahead and harvest?

I was told the strain is called maltazar but i can’t find information on whether its indica, sativa or hybrid. I have a second maltazar that doesn’t have the hay scent.

Harvest.

 

[erwinkai]

Harvest.

Thank you. What is your reasoning?

Cos not every strain produces amber thrichomes for one

But but but but how do you get the couchlock versus racey head high if there’s no amber lol. (This is just a joke btw so don’t take offence lol)

We try and tell people there’s more to a finished plant than just the trichomes. Lol.

The pistils.

can we see a pic of the entire plant ? Those are just the tops. 95% of the plant might not even be ready lmao.

Looking good. I'd say you've got a few more weeks or so. Wait for the pistils to recede and the calyxes to swell.

Where did all the leaves go?!

thrips, they only went for the fan leaves but they went hard. this is part of why i feel like i need to harvest it now

They don't look that bad at all. I wouldn't harvest yet if it was me.

Oh shit that was in your first post wasn’t it. Sorry. Yeah I’d harvest now.

Those things are awesome. They love fungus gnats, and will eat other pests too. They also eat decaying matter, so they're good all around. Don't drop anymore nukes on them,

Are these Autos? If so I heard a podcast saying some Autos don't even amber up.

nope. that is interesting though.

Not autos. Some sativas just don't amber up at all, or at least way later then you want to harvest them.
