I am formulating my plan of attack for next year. I've learned so much this year and I've had excellent results, imo, from my poorly vegged, rootbound plants. I may be able to improve my yield but that is not my goal, I want to learn when the buds are most potent. I think there is a very fine line between peak potentcy and everything else. The first amber trichrome means the thc is degrading, clear trichrome means thc not at full maturity..... 
I am the shakiest on harvesting.... so this is where I need to step up my game to find that line for the most potent mmj I can grow.
Back to the books, articles and any and all info on the peak time to harvest my crops for potentcy, only. Yield, schmield... I am one person, how much potent mmj do I need?

use a magnifier on the lower (older) sections of the plant at the nodes. at 6-8 wks the females will become evident w/ the beginning of a single translucent hair from center of the initial flower cone.
the males begin to resemble mini lobster claws.

I think it's funny that my last 4 plants are sprinting to the finishline. Man, once these things start ripening, they ripen really fast. If I harvested them all tomorrow I don't think I'd be disappointed in the quality. They seem to be getting fat, frosty and a saplike substance that my instincts tell me is a good thing because it is sticky and smells outrageously seductive.
I need to empty out all my closets and figure out how to string my four buxom girls up. I need to figure out how to cut them down. Do I try to keep them in one piece, or, piece by piece?
Omg.....such wonderful problems....

1) clear tricomes are not mature.
2) milky tricome is a uplifting high. make you want to do things
3) Amber is more potent couchlock.
when you pick your strains research the flower time and thc %

Thanks, nuggs. I've been harvesting with about 30% amber and so far I'm happy with the medicinal effects from all my strains.
It is once they get a few amber they seem to ripen fast.
I'm chopping two in the morning and putting my last two and my largest two on a day by day status with the hopes I can trim, dry and containerize these two before the last two reach that 30% amber trichs point.

No hurry unless you have mold or other problems. It only gets better with more amber.Thanks, nuggs. I've been harvesting with about 30% amber and so far I'm happy with the medicinal effects from all my strains.

I like 50% or better. you may think its rotting it looks so bad but, after its trimmed it makes DANK !

Knock on wood... I've had no issues with bugs or mold.
It is very possible by tomorrow morning that AK47 will be at 50% amber and if not don't they continue to turn amber while drying?
I tend to have couchlock with all my strains... I'm very much couchlocked by nature.
Wow .... that's sick.
Bravo, to the lack of a green thumb.
Thank you sam. Is your CP still going ?
