Wat 2 Look 4 In Trichs?!?!

I just got a 30X LED Loupe n wanted to know exctly wat it is im looking 4 wen examing the trichs. I think my Buds r bout a week away from Harvest, but just want to make sure..

geez man, this question must get asked 10+ times a day. if u want a head high harvest when they are mostly cloudy, for a body buzz wait till most are amber. for a in between high harvest at 50% cloudy and 50% amber

I searched, but couldnt find a clear answer. Thanks for clearing it up 4me

This is true. Harvesting a little earlier will swing the buzz to more heady, whilst harvesting later (more amber trichs) will swing the buzz toward the body stone sort of thing, but it will only swing the buzz a little in either direction, high or stone is more so determined by strain.

Indica being the stone - Best for pain relief, helping to get to sleep etc.
Sativa being the high - Best for being social, energetic, being unusually happy - relief from depression etc.

But when looking at your trichs, remember, if most of them are clear, don't harvest, they're not ready! And don't be surprised if they take longer than expected to even get to 50/50 cloudy/amber, most strains take longer to finish than most people think. Probably about 80-90% of '8 Week Strains' take 10 weeks to properly finish. I know of very few strains that are truly ready in less than 10 weeks (there's, however, often the odd phenotype that will be truly finished in 8 weeks amongst a 10 pack of seeds that say 8 week flowering time)

Cheers

See now isn't that in the GrowFAQ and about a hundred threads? lol ... You'd think it would be easier to find for people looking for it!!! hahaha

Actually ive only come across it once. And had to make a post today about that picture itself. Luckily someone had it, so im spreading it to everyone who needs it.

Yeah Photo is a great help, Cheeeers

they buds are ready for harvest once the trichomes have turned an amber color, that'll produce a real heavy stone

That is only correct for those with a similar preference in what effects they like from their herb. For someone who prefers slightly more of a head high than a couch-lock stone amber trichomes are the very last thing they want. To them the plants would have grown to long and gone past their prime.

There is no singular trichome color that is perfect for everyone. It is all a matter of personal preference.

Excellent information from all!!
