When 50% of the trichs are amber brown you're ready to chop!

That plant has probally been ready to chop for about a week just by looking at it thru pics all the trichs are deep amber

I know this is from 2008, but did people really actually believe that you want amber trichs? You harvest at 80% cloudy trichs before ANY go amber. Amber trichs means thc is dropping.

Nothing wrong with amber. Still plenty of THC in amber trichs. If you make hash, you want ripe glandular heads -- amber. If you harvest at 80% cloudy, you will have a ton of immature heads. You will have more THC overall with 50% amber than 80% cloudy. There are also levels to amber. There is amber and then near black. Black is bad.

Could have just made a new thread also instead of necrobumping this one.

Listen, the necrobump is classic RIU. Daily, some rando decides it would be good to drag up a post from the dead which often spreads misinformation about a topic and otherwise clutters up the forum.

I'm sure they'll get some healthy discussion from the op and the rest of the people that chimed in.

I don't flush because it can do more bad than good imo! Unless you are familiar with plant. Most trics don't look cloudy yet to me. Can't see Amber yet so needs more time imo!

Thats not true, at all. There was recently a test done where large nugs were cut off 1 by 1 each week and lab tested for thc. at 6 weeks, the plant had 30% of its potential max thc, at week 7 it had over 50% of its potential, at week 8 it had 86% of its potential thc, and by week 9, as soon as amber trichs started to show, it was at roughly 74% of its max thc,
Amber trichs means thc is degrading and you're losing potency, fact. Your cbd levels are increasing, but cbd doesnt get you high like thc does. If you want a truly stoney bud, you harvest when 50% of your trichs are cloudy. Over the next 7 days drying, the remaining trichs turn cloudy without any turning amber.
You old guys harvesting when you have 50% amber trichs make me laugh my ass off, especially when you think that being locked to the couch=good weed xD
Your buds testing at 12% thc with like 4%cbd where mine is testing at 24% thc with 1%cbd and actually having a proper effect.

I typically don't trust YouTube for much and for good reason. There are tons of terrible growers on YouTube spreading garbage info. Watched the video but didn't see any lab studies. Are there actual lab reports or is that only for Patreon members of his page? Dude was scoping and looking at the trichs on sugar leaves as well, which is beyond pointless.

He literally takes a cutting at every week starting at week 6 and has it lab tested for potency. If you know that your strain is supposed to be 18% thc max, then you can easily figure this shit out.
The FACT that the bud tested for higher thc at 8 weeks, than it did at 9, is proof that a cloud trich turning amber, loses more thc than a clear trich turning cloudy gains. Clear trichs still have thc in them, amber trichs have converted their thc into cbd. Therefore you lose more thc by letting a cloudy trich turn amber, than you do stopping a clear trich from turning cloudy.
You can literally search THIS WEBSITE for UPDATED grow information that also backs up the FACT that amber trichs have NO thc in them, because they converted the thc into cbd.
80/20 cloudy to clear is more potent than 80/20 cloudy to amber, facts.
You keep thinking that being locked to the couch means you're higher tho!
