• Hello, I’m new here from the Deep South. Controls engineer, outdoorsman, alcoholic turned pothead! I plant a couple auto-flowers every couple weeks so I’m always harvesting. The hardest part for me is knowing when to chop. I tend to like the early in the harvest window high. What do you think of these buds? Some plants fade good and others like never fade. It’s hard to tell clear from milky/cloudy for me. And also the hairs turning orange and curling 40-50%?

      • Based on the pictures it looks like you still have quite a lot of clear trichomes heads and I can still see some white pistils which would make sense if you said only 40-50% of them have turned orange. I’m not going to claim expert or anything but it really depends on the effect you like; something more uplifting or a little heavy and relaxing. The more amber the heavier the body effect but overall nice buds growmie

        • If you’re looking for that chop early high I would chop once you start seeing the top tricomes cloudy. I never go by hairs as I’ve had hairs turn orange 3 weeks before I chopped and I only go until 10% Amber trics. Cloudy trics won’t allow light to scatter like these are doing.
