I am coming towards the end of my first grow. I have 4 shiva females. The trichs are all cloudy. I wanted to know how long before amber start popping up. It is day 62 of flower btw and there are no amber trichs yet. I am using a 30x loupe to look at the trichs.

If they are all cloudy you got less than a week. Best of luck and be patient. If it looks done wait another day. Done let impatience ruin a good harvest . You have went 62 days, a few more are wel worth it. And amber trichs are more of taste to some. Some prefer clear/cloudy for up high, while some prefer cloudy/amber for more body high. Hope that helped

yeah keep checking daily, your real close. Remember dont check the trichs under the HPS, cut a small portion of leaf or bud, tiny enough not to hurt harvest and check it under regular lighting. Hope you have a great harvest!

I usually just take the plant out to normal lighting :o

I really think that with alot of plants the trichome color change and degrading theory from clear to cloudy to amber is just a bunch of bullshit.

It is not bullshit if you watch them they will change color with time they will all start with no trichs then the clears one are formed those same one mature with age turning milky/cloudy and finally amber. Just cause you got a bunch of plants does not mean you should harvest early and end up with a bunch of small,airy,premature buds you let them mature depending on the type of high you prefer. Here is an old chart from OG.

if you use the 30x and a mag light flashlight it works great

Well shroomy,if your "the" shroomy,i wont be too hasty in questioning your reasoning.If your not "the" shroomy,why do you call bullshit????

he is "the" shroomy
