How soon before we chop?

[Nverinder716]

I love getting nice close ups, and I think I’m seeing a little bit of cloudy skies in the heads on these trikes. Today marks the 5th week in flower for my Gorilla Glue Auto, I’ve read most flowering takes place in 8 weeks on autos. Obviously, on average, YMMV, listen to your plants, caveat emptor, etc… but what do you guys think? How much of the trichomes are turning milky white at this point? When do you like to chop? Have a personal preference for the amount of white or amber in your trichomes at harvest?

Agreed!

2 to 3 weeks

That’s what’s I was banking on. The pistils at the top JUST turned brown this weekend; the new ones toward the bottom are still really white.

2-3 weeks i would say too but show me the whole plant please i don't go by trich pics i go by fade and how swollen up the buds are and what day it is, i don't have years to wait for ambers haha oh and my personal preference is around 1%-5% amber as i like my buds not couchlocked but like i said i don't go by that method because i can't be bothered to steady my phone and a cheap $5 scope (not made for the phone) i do the when i think it is ready wait 1 more week method

Those are good picture but the light is the wrong color. Turn off the grow lights and use Daylight 5000K illumination and show us the whole plant. You still have a ways to go as far as I can tell.
