Skunk #1 Auto - no amber trichomes?

[Marienbad]

Hey all

Skunk #1 auto, trichomes are about 80% cloudy, the white spiney bits are about 40% amber. They are at 53 days. Should I harvest or wait? Do you get amber trichomes with skunk auto? Anyone grown this and have any advice?

I have looked at other threads but they are mainly concerned with normal veg 4wks/ flower 8wks plants.

thanks for a fantastic forum and faq guys and gals!

Nobody can really tell you when to harvest your bud. I personally harvest before there are any amber trichs (on most strains) Is that 53 days overall btw?

[Marienbad]

yes, 53 days from start

Test some now.

Everything I've read online about color is to harvest a little over 15% amber to get a good stone. I think anything over 40%-45% will be mostly body high. And I think some strains never go amber but stay cloudy.

"general consumption people should use herb cultivated when around %30 amber and **cured**."
