Trying to decide when to harvest

I’m at 90 days seed to flower and it feels like my girl has stalled. Still lots of clear trichs. I’m having a hard time getting a clear picture but here goes.

My first question is how long has she been flowering. Autos can be tricky when trying to time from seed and, honestly most time tables given by breeders are unreliable. Best to start a clock at flowering vs from seed.

Next Id like to ask to see the plant as a whole, cant really see what you might be able to see through the pic you posted.

Last Id ask what you mean by stalled, what brought you to the conclusion she has stalled?

I have heard that when the trichs start turning milky they fully turn within a few days. I started seeing milkiness a week ago. I would say I am 5-6 weeks into flowering.

Mostly true but not enough to say thats a fact. Your plant does look close on the outside but unless the strain is just super duper fast, you likely have at least 1 week to potentially 3.

Honestly though, if you are seeing more then 10% clear trichomes, Id wait and check every few days. Is your goal couchlock or speedy?

Looking for a happy medium of high energy with a slight couch lock body buzz.

Then I would wait till you have 5% amber trichomes.
2 things, 1)trichomes mature on a plant from the top down USUALLy. That being said its best to look at buds that are 1/3 of the way down the plant and also 1/3 of the way down the bud you are examining. 2) trichomes on sugar leaves will mature much faster then those on the buds themselves so you need to be looking past the leaves and onto the bud surface. Sugar leave trichomes have no bearing on the doneness of a plant.
