    So consider this. I was told that the amber color comes from the light sorce you have. Somtimes folks who grow indoors will experience their plant not taking on amber and show other signs it’s ready to harvest like foxtailing, swollen calyx or bracts, and or yellowing leaves. They pointed out some of Frenchies teachings on his website that talk about harvesting at the peak of maturity by looking at the Calyx and Bracts. They will swell up like fruit. Some even think a seed is in it but their won’t be. Looking at the plant as a whole rather then just the trichomes I feel is the biggest message they had. Definitely look at the tricomes but also look at the rest of the plant too. If we are looking at the tricomes however if you see the heads falling off or poping then the plant is overdone. I believe the stems of the tricomes may be a better indicator on how close you are to harvest then the color.
