Hey guys, week 10 with my tahoe strain. My trichomes are 90-95 percent cloudy with very few amber and clears. Does this sound ready? Sorry, can't post pics today!

Once again. Amber trichomes are not desired. If yu want a couch lock effect, grow a couch lock strain. If yu have mostly cloudy, HARVEST. Your at the peak, and from there it can only go down hill.

What do u base that on man? If u read about trichomes it will always tell u to harvest a indica at 30% amber and a sativa at 70% cloudy, after u cut while ur buds are drying and curing they will continue to ripen but if u miss ur window ur thc will degrade to cbd witch some ppl like more since its the part in marijuana that helps with sleep and paranoia exc.. if u air dry ur buds this will also cause ur thc to gain more cbd so really to tell him to cut when u can clearly see most trichome heads are clear is like him growing his plant for a 4% thc to mass ratio i say wait it out and read up on trichomes and the other cannabinoids in cannabis

Seems to me that shooting for 30% amber is not a good idea. Too high unless high is not what you are looking for.

Based on personal experience and reading.
And if thc contiunes to mature after harvesting (it does) then harvesting at 30% amber will surely over shoot that peak. I usually harvest around 80-90% cloudy or wen i first start seeing ambers on the Buds, not the leaves. Sometimes them leaves amber up while buds are still mostly clear. Dont know why thou..
Also if i remember correctly, cbd actually counteracts the thc high. Remember, cbd is NON-psycoactive. No high. Not for recreation. Cbd is meant for medicial usage for pain relief and such. Its amazing stuff, yu jus don wanna try to get high off it. And yu certainly dont want yur plants growing more of it unless yu growin for cbd intentionally.

Hmm ok sweet im glad to get a knowledgeable response not just a "fuck u what do u kno " like i see so much here lately, i guess its all on what u want but i agree to a point it depends on strain to how much more trichomes will mature after harvest thats my experience
