about 30% amber trichomes is best time to harvest, i would recommend stop giving your plants nutes and just use straight water

You need to look at the trichomes on the buds, not the leaves. The trichomes on the leaves turn amber before the buds

So could that mean I'm getting close to harvest if the leaves have Amber trichomes
too larry

Not a good indicator as the leaves will frost up before the bud does. Look at the ones on the buds.

If you are 8+ weeks, that's knowing you are getting close to harvest. After 8 weeks, check trichomes on buds only.
