hello! i know a little about harvesting plants. like looking for amber trichromes. when will they turn amber? i look at them with a 60x microscope and i see the crystals. i know they are not fully developed and have a few more weeks to go. i know im looking for the crystals to shoot up, sorta of like a mushroom, but i want to make sure i know when, so i do not let them go to long, and harvest at peak of perfection. i can take pics soon, but the lights are off til tonight.

You can harvest when you like. You are not looking for the trichs to shoot up, you are looking for them to change colour, this is them changing in chemical composition. There is no set time for when to harvest. Trial and error will tell you what time you prefere, milky or maybe more amber than milky etc.

it depends on the type of high u wanna het out of it. mots people like to pull wen the triches are all milky some like wen its mily and amber and some like it straught amber. if u can see them but there not all the way developed i would give it a week a week, 2 tops and pull. but u wanna remember to start flushin about a week b4 u think there ready so that wen u pull it wont have any buildup of nuets in the bud

oh ya ya ya, i know about the flushing too. that is another thing i need to time right. i ve been looking at buds that i have been smoking to see what they look like. do the trichs change at all after they are dried? i do not think the people i buy my herbs form let there shit completely finish. im waiting to harvest at least another few weeks. i know more crystals can develop and finish maturing. i think they are just in the early stages now. it looks more like dew drops instead of the little mushroom heads i have researched in the past. thanks for the help!!in general.

which color am i looking for to get the best high? i like couch-lock-narcotic-pain-killer type of highs. i hate opiates though. i just like to get knocked out from herbs. and am looking for thee ultimate! i have heard UVB lights also help in the production of making your buds, but that another story in general.
