In need of a keen eye..

So here's my lady on day 60 (give or take) of 12/12.
How much longer is it gonna take?

I know it's a matter of personal preference, she's an AK47 so I guess 50% ruby 50% milky should do the trick..?

depending on what kind of high/stone your looking for, if you want a heavier more sedated couch lock type stone then yeah 50/50 would be good, if your wanting a more "daytime activities" smoke your want more like a 80/20

I agree with Hank - and I really can't see as much as I'd like to see (trich wise) but it looks pretty close to being where i like.
I'd say 5-7 more days max (for my preference).

You have a pix of the entire plant? Sometimes I can get a better feel by looking at the entire plant..

I'd wait until you see a few more amber colored tricomes

 

[RyanTheRhino]

from what you have shown i would say a week, but some buds mature faster then others so keep that in mind

I'd agree, around 7 days to harvest. A pic of the whole plant would be nice.

remember check the trichs in the morning or lights, as they do change color through out the day, from the stress caused by the lights is the main one and they will change back during the dark periods

serious? Trichomes will revert back to less mature having been clearly mature during the day? oO the fu...

Lol.. that's what I was thinking .. the only thing i could see being a problem is looking at the trics w lights on, especially when using hps as the orange color from the bulb might affect the way the trics look while they're on..

I hadn't thought of the HPS angle - I always take a snippet of various sugar leaves down to my desk for inspection.
Never seen them "revert" to cloudy from amber though.

My preference is more upper-psychoactive-mind high, similar to the SLH strain. She is AK47 though, which is more of downer, "couch lock" kinda high.

Just to make sure I got it right;
- Milky trichs means THC - causes mind high effect.
- Amber trichs means degraded THC (to CBD or CBG) - causes couch lock effect.

I know it's a very frequent Q and I read tons of posts about it, just wanting to make sure I got it right

Sorry, not right now.. She's sleeping

Never heard that one before.. Do they really??
Sounds kinda odd..

Yeah I can see how that would happen, refraction of the light hitting the internal walls of the trichome may make clear ones appear cloudy with the HPS on, however in my understanding it is not possible for the trichomes to "unmature".
