For over 10 years, I've been harvesting indoor and determining 'ripeness' through the amber percentage of the trichomes. My experience with mostly sativa-dom hybrids has been 5%-15% amber as the peak of ripeness.
I was recently having a conversation with another member here, and they brought up how 'amber' is different with outdoor. Sometimes the plant is 'done' when there is significantly more 'amber' present.
Who has been growing indoor AND outdoor for years, has grown all types of strains, and has been checking trichomes for ripeness on the same strains grown indoor and out?
What have you found? Are the same strains more amber with outdoor, at the same level of ripeness? Where does "ripe" begin outside, at what percentage of amber?
