This is my first "real" grow, its an autoflower freebie from SOS (great seed bank). The hairs have started to recede and change colors, and I am just wondering how much longer till this girl is done. I am thinking at LEAST another week and a half, but what do you guys think?

Edit: Also the trichome production has gone up drastically in the last week.

by looking at it i wanna say 2 weeksish. But if you wanna know for sure, get a powerful magnify glass, or a jewelers loop, once you see about half of your trichomes turn amber in color, its ready. Goodluck mate.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don't get high.

CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.

Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a buzz or stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.

CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages and breaks down, this process is known as oxidization. High levels of CBN tend to make the user feel messed up rather than high.

CBN is a psychoactive cannabinoid, but is only 10% of the strength of THC.
The effects of CBN have shown to make you feel more dizzy, groggy, disoriented and has also been shown to lower your heart rate.
CBN is essentially THC that has been partially broken down either by oxidization while in storage, during the curing process, in a concentration process or even when your body metabolizes recently consumed THC.
Increased amounts of CBN has been associated with increased “bad feelings” like anxiety, paranoia and nervousness.
High amounts of CBN can be avoided with proper curing and storing of dried cannabis in a cool, dry area inside an airtight container.

Cannabinol (CBN) – It is a secondary psychoactive component of cannabis. It is not associated with painkilling effects of THC or CBD. CBN is formed as THC ages. Unlike the euphoria effects of THC, CBN can induce headaches and a sense of lethargy.

It is really easy to find this information. Please research something before you comment.

Best time is when most of trichs are cloudy, with MINIMAL amber.

u still have some time. three weeks give or take. meantime, get a miniscope or loupe. it's a cheap and awesome investment, and accurate. takes out the guess work.

its all preference. some like it more stoney, some like it more heady, no right or wrong

Indica vs sativa is what determines the majority of heady to stoney.

CBN /amber trichs represents loss of psychoactive properties. It does not help with pain. It will make you drowsy, that's about it.
