Look kinda small to be ready. How many weeks in are you? Are the trichomes turning?
And dude, I've already tried the 2 days of no light. It doesn't do anything, really a waste of time.

It's not about it happening in nature. The theory is you stress it out so it will produce more trichomes. A lot of literature mentions it. The overgrow book did, cervantes did as well. A lot of people believe that it works. But through all the experiments I've tried it hasnt done shit.
You need to get a magnifying class and look at the trichomes. The heads of them will turn amber when it's getting close to harvest time. You want to see 30-40% amber colored.

Again, it doesn't do anything. It's not going to reveg under 12/12, this just sounds like a lot of hyperbole from the seeds company. I mean for fucks sake they're saying
"The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all."
Come on, they could at least say trichomes. It's not "covered in THC".

As I looked at it again I can see that you have about 1 in 40-50 that are amber. Not time to harvest yet buddy.

No way to tell you that man. You just need to get a magnifying glass and keep and eye on em man.

From those pictures you're not they're yet. Give it time man. Stop being in a rush to harvest. Just post new pics like those every 3 days and we'll let you know.

Yeah 5-10% is too low for me. No less than 40% for me.

Also you're buds are still bulking up in this period, so if you harvest to early then you get less yield.

Neither are mine. This jsut doesn't make much since to me, last I checked planted needed light to do their thing, it's their primary energy source.
ya it is the primary sourse but also limits how long the trichomes get due to rapid evaporation. density down and not as many on leaves obviously but the trichomes get alot longer on lower buds. check out BOGS photos alot are of the lower buds that look extra frosty. I mean this is where the "lights off tek" comes from u guys
Again, the lower buds aren't frostier.

Well the first one you posted doesn't show where it is on the plant period. Or reference it at all. So don't even try to claim on that one.
And the other link you put up doesn't even load. Good try though.
I'll still go by my DIRECT experience in growing and experimenting with light off for 24-48 hours and there being NO difference.
And I'm done with this.

Wow, 40% will give you a good head high. No need to be all pissy about things man, esp. when you are the one asking questions and not knowing what to do. If you don't want our opinion don't ask us for it.
40% amber doesn't mean that 40% of the entire amount of thc in your plant is degraded. That is why it's called "peak" harvest. Not past peak harvest.
The trim job is not so hot. But considering the size of the bud if you trimmed it all off then you wouldn't have been left with much.

I'd start curing now since it's so mall. Most buds aren't going to have that much leaf since they are bigger. Was that an auto-flower?
I would just trim it more next time.

So then what is your recommendation on harvest times and indicators for it?
