What up guys, this is my kushberry grow. NFT system 10 plants going into week 6 of flower. They smell amazing! Like lemon, blueberry candy! How much longer do you think? I've looked under a 40x and the trics are clear. This is not my first grow, so I have my own guess (2 Weeks) I just want to see what you guys think. I've never grown this strain and never go by what the seed bank says...
comments also welcome! Thanks

I don't believe that.

amber trichomes have degraded into a state that is not what you want to ingest


The elevated resin heads appear clear, since fresh resin is still being secreted, often being produced in the cellular head of the trichome. At this time THC acid production is at a peak and CBD acid levels remain stable as the molecules are rapidly converted to THC acids, THC acid synthesis has not been active long enough for a high level of CBN acid to build up from the degradation of THC acid by light and heat. Terpene production is also nearing a peak and the floral clusters are beautifully aromatic. Many cultivators prefer to pick some of their strains during this stage in order to produce marijuana with a clear, cerebral, psychoactive effect It is believed that, in peak floral clusters, the low levels of CBD and CBN allow the high level of THC to act without their sedative effects.
If 30% of your trichomes are amber, 30% have degraded and are not potent.

For me, I pick it when it is ripe. Another guy on riu compared it to bananas.

green are not ready
yellow are ripe
brown is over ripe

I pick when my plants are ripe, not over ripe.

When your resin glands get a milky look to em they're ready...when you see signs of amber trichs you should harvest asap. Some people like more amber trichs before they harvest about 25%....she's ripe when they turn milky/foggy and your hairs have all almost changed...she wil continue to mature even after chopping, until all clorophyll is used. Sorry but no way to give an exact date
