Hola,

I need some advice on my trichomes. This is from some Early Girl from Hygro seeds (a Early Pearl variant?) growing in the Sacramento area.

I cut some small samples and some clippings have a lot of amber trichomes while some clippings are all mostly liky or clear.

Since amber means it is ready. What do my observations tell me?

Is it ready? Should I harvest all of it or just what is the most ripe and pull the rest later?

This is my second grow so I am still learning. Your input is appreciated.

Did some searching. Not sure if this makes any difference but...

I still have quite a bit of white hairs, maybe 30% or so. Some of the buds on the inner lower branches still have all white haired tips. So I think that means not quite done yet.

If about 50% are cloudy(milky) and you see amber, that means it should be ready. I harvested when I had this combo. 50%-70% cloudy, 10%-20% amber. Just remember to check different bud sites and harvest the ones ready.

Yeah buds burn evenly and gets me relatively high for about an hour. Kinda couchlock feeling.
