My plant is 77 days from sprout. I was going to harvest at 90 days but today I noticed some amber trichomes. I was wondering if I should still flush it or just harvest it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Amber will show up long before its ready to harvest. Esp. on leaves.
A few photos in natural light would help us. Close up and full plant.
Few plants are actually ready at the 90 day mark.
It’s an auto and there are a few ambers in the buds. I will get a picture soon.
Pictures are the only way to tell.

This is what it looks like today, 79 days from sprout. Trichomes look cloudy with a few amber ones under a magnifier. Should I flush it for a week and then harvest or harvest now?
Looks done to me.
If you see milky and amber then chop when you want.
Thanks. Would you recommend a bud wash seeing it was grown outside? There have been minor bug issues a couple weeks ago.
yes, it never hurts to avoid mold
I had one bud grow mold in the jar because I skipped the wash and it was an indoor plant.
bud wash is mandatory for outdoor grows. dust, dander, bugs n bugs pooh…need to be washed off.
Thanks. I will for sure give it a bath when I chop it. Any tips for washing?
Search here for bud washing. There’s a good video going around for that. Basically in a tub with the right amount of peroxide in water.
Will do, thanks!
It says for powdery mildew but the process is the same.
Thanks!
Looks like you got some advice and I agree.

Bud wash mandatory because it was outdoor.
Wet trim, dry, jar with hygrometers in a dark place and burp if they go over 62 % rh, once they stabalize mark the date 2 months in advance.
Pop open smoke and enjoy!
Thanks. I will do that and hopefully have some nice smoke for Thanksgiving!
How old is it?
