I checked trichs yesterday and she has quite a bit of amber already. Her chop date is set for the 28th (Day 79).

Still learning so take this as a newbie question...
I though trichomes turning amber shows that THC is decaying to CBN (less useful, gives a groggy & messed up feeling).
We tolerate some Amber because we want to give extra time for clear trichomes to turn cloudy (max THC)
A perfect harvest would be 100% milky trichomes, max potency and no CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) :haha:

Amber is easier to see and used as a marker for the upper limit of what is tolerable overripe. Somehow Amber got misunderstood as THE goal by some people and the misinformation spread. I get more confused about harvest time because
trichomes seem to ripen from the top down and from sugar leaves in.
Not sure about all this, trying to understand harvesting, and maybe I brain farted in your Journal. :gassy1:

My partner chopped her Sunday (Day 79) and she's hanging up. He didn't weigh her wet so I have no clue what the yield will be. The buds are fat and dense so I'm hoping for at least 4 zips.

That makes sense. You could always grow two clones and harvest them at the different times. Send some samples off to be tested, smoke some and post the results. Do it do it.
 
I weighed everything today and ended up with 114 grams in 78 days! Not too shabby.
