I don't want to cut the mature buds down yet because well if they are already doing excellent then I don't want to stop that lol. Even the little bit of trichomes it may thrown on in these last few days will help. As far as the bud maturity/yield goes I'm with you. I know I should let them fill out and mature but I love a certain high so the minute I see amber trichs, trust me I won't want to if they aren't finish but I'm gonna have to cut just to be safe. I just went down there and man I love looking at that plant. It's so freggin frosty. I had to post a pic of my favorite bud. I'm gonna save that one for last. Probably will be the last bud I ever smoke of my harvest.

Gonna let it cure but never touch it. God it looks so much more better in person lol. And it's obvious that one of those plants is going to have to live longer because even if the buds are mature those trichomes are barely visible and mostly all clear. I'm happy though because at least it finished filling in before the crystals started popping out so I'll be happy with both yield and high with it. As far as my next grow goes....well you'll see, just be sure not to forget about me lol. I swear I tried to flush them so much and I can't seem to get them to run off just clear water. It's always a little yellow so fuck it. I'm not even gonna try to flush anymore because I'm so fuckin frustrated. Last time like I said I spent from 12 am all the way up to 5 am trying to flush those things and STILL up to the last minute I never got just clear run off so what ever. If they taste a little like chemicals fuck it. Also next time I think I'm gonna get some Super Thrive to help the roots grow faster..every little bit helps . I don't think too many trichs will turn amber soon so if all goes well they both will go into the next week (10). I won't cut if I don't have to. I was aiming for a specific time but now that I'm here I rather get the best out of what I have rather than trying to harvest on a specific set date because I'm waaaay behind schedule lol.
