all go amber?

Do all plant trichomes eventually go amber?

oh hmm i dont thinkso .....ok ive just asked the better grower and the conclusion is ,,,no ..you will get a majority amber,,but will still have some cloudy and clear ...and trichs can still appear up into the 8 th week ......if were wrong ,,im sure someone will let us know eace:

You've got it mainly right UKgirl420 but most Dutch hybrids have cloudy or clear trichs interspersed with amber but not in the majority.

Amber usually comes from the sativa side of a hybrid and some sativa's do indeed go all amber and some rare types go red!:holysheep:

The problem is, I have a hard time distinguishing between clear and cloudy.. I look for amber trichomes to tell when I can harvest

Yea I always been told that once about 60 to 70 percent of the trichomes turns cloudy or an amber color its time to harvest. thats what I always go by and it turns out good.

Thanks for all the great info. Trichomes and ripeness have for a long time been a source of confusion and frustration. Yes, some strains seem to have only a few amber trichs before they start to degrade.
