Does this sound right to any veterans?

From what I read, I believed it would go all clear, then mostly cloudy, then amber would begin.

There are still a lot of clear trichs... can anyone tell me if it is okay to cut now? I dont want too much couch lock. Every day several more amber appear, not a lot, just one or two here and there.

I have been waiting for it to go mostly cloudy, but just when I think it is there, I see a bunch of clear... but past 3 days, I am seeing a VERY small amount of amber startuing.

In the 13th week of flowering.

If its a long flowering pure sativa then you wont have to worry about a few amber trichs, yo wont get much couchlock from it, if any.

LIP,

Should it be harvested now at about 50-50 or 60-40 cloudy to clear?

As I said, there are a few amber... does that mean it is at it's peak?

Beautful plants sticky. I'd chop them at 30-40% amber, but I like the heady high.

As I said, gorgeous plants.

Hey thanks Grimm...

I also had the spider mites issue (as you read in your post) Luckily, I have more damned native lady bugs in my house than you can shake a stick at... so the issue solved itself... they they just went away when the food was gone.

I want a heady high, but not a "300 pound weight on my body high" as I lay in bed..lol So I figured I was going to try to get this one just as they went amber... the issue is, I thought I would have more cloudy than 50-60%

Orangeman, thanks! Here is another. I actually have to resize these to about half size so the site will take them... you should see them full sized!



PS. this is my 4+ foot tall, 5 top plant... still... that I have been writing about for about 3 months here as it has been flowering....lol I made a mistake, this is the 14th week of flowering. I am not worried about the time it is taking, I am more worried about getting it at the right time. I dont care if it takes 4 more weeks...lol I just want it at it's peak.

I will take a look at her today, and make a call I guess. So, clear trichs making up 40-50% is okay to cut down still?

I feel like the Great Pirate Roberts in the Princess Bride. Every day I tell Sticky (the plant) "I'll likely kill you tomorrow"....lol

Every day I push it back a day or two cuz I dont want to act too soon!...lol The one thing I keep reading is it is better to wait, than to cut too soon.

I will likely get a picture of every bud, and the entire plant before she goes. I have well over 100 photos of every stage of flowering... some early in the grow, and a whole log of issues I faced, advice I got, and every single step I took and thing I did for this first grow.
