Day 58 of 12/12 amber trics?

I see almost all cloudy and amber, just a few clear what do you guys think?? It just seems like 58 days of 12/12 is too short. I vegged the plant for just over 2 months. It already had preflowers and showed buds in like 6 days. The pistols have turned orange and receded. The calyxes have all swelled up nicely

Here's some pics of the plant and the setup. And the little plant is purple mr nice guy at like 2 1/2 weeks

Id say let it go to at least day 60.

I personally wait until more of the hairs are orange. I just like my shit super couch-lockey. ya heard? You could totally harvest them right now though. I like your LST work on the big'un. What strain is that? It looks just like my lemon diesel

I wish I knew the strain. It came out of a awesome house mix from the dispensary, is smells like lemon pinesol super strong.It is definatly a top shelfs stain tho, where i go to get meds they take all the shake and popcorn from the top shelf jars and mix it together. I plan on doing 48 hrs darkness before I chop so they will be alive till at least day 60. Do you guys think it will up my yield to wait a week or two?

Here's some pics with the lights off. If you wanna know anything else lemme know lights, nutes, ect.

This is obviously a question that could be debated, as so much depends on personal preference. I believe in harvesting at maximum THC levels, and that's where you are now. Amber is the sign that THC is degrading. I look for 90% cloudy, 5% amber and 5% clear -- which is where you're are about.

THC will continue to degrade after you chop the plant, so there will be some further "ripening" while you're hanging and curing. So you can chop today/tomorrow and have the weekend to trim and clean up.

Good grow and congrats on getting to harvest! +rep!

Thanks man. Your words are greatly appreciated, but I still have to ask do you think another week or 2 would yeild me more?

Watch for the tip when amber starts really going and clear almost gone. Cloudy is max. Don't go too long unless you need the amber components.

couldnt find the article with the information i was going to give you, but i found this instead.

take this into consideration for when you pull. that and ive pulled plants (that were ready) at 50, and 55 days, so its not improbable.

That's not guaranteed -- your pics with the lights off look like the buds are pretty swollen. The pistils haven't receded as much as they might with another strain. I was really going by the trichs. Why don't you check the trichs every 12 hours? If they don't change that much for a few days, then leave them alone. But if you can see the percentage of amber increasing, I'd harvest no matter what the rest looked like. Again, that's personal preference. I've read a lot of different thoughts on this matter, and the harvest indicator I give the most weight to is that of trichs. I'm not at all into the "harvest early for cerebral high, harvest late for couch-lock" thing. If I want cerebral high, then I grow a plant that provides that when harvested correctly. Ditto with couch-lock. I don't grow a plant that does one thing and then try to change it by harvesting at an odd time for the plant.

no. if you're lookn for more yield take the tops and let the bottom sites go another cpl weeks.

In the Harvesting & Curing room, read the sticky on Trichomes -- that should help!

Well I decided to harvest. I will put it in the dark tonight. And probably chop either really late sat. Or early sunday

I also threw 2 more of those plants into flower tonight along with 1 blue widow, 1 sage, 1 more mr nice guy,1 og kush #18
