its sort of personal preference i would never let all my trichomes change to amber because that would be a very dense high/smoke i like it when its about 50/50 of amber and cloudy. so if you think that they are at that point then i would give it another few days and harvest.

the trics continue to mature even after you chop it down if they still don't have alot of amber in'em, i reckon

take her down now or in a week , dry for a week then cure in jars. during the cure the rest of the crystals will turn from clear to milky and from milky to amber. depends on how long u cure but u dont need to leave the plant up if all ur waiting for is the trics to change cus they do that during the cure anyway.
