Rose, I take the girls at Mid October, trichs are usually about 10% amber, some plants will be more. Like the Hindu Skunk this year I took at eight weeks, it was nearer to 20% and was one of my best for the year. Last year, the Northern Lights were harvested the same date as this year and not even as strong. The plants were supposed to be the same, but were not. Like I said, I have to go by frost/freeze than amber.
I totally understand you sitting on the bed and gazing at your plants. I have guests coming up on the 11th, as soon as they leave the guest room is gonna become the baby plant room. I go in there ten times a day when there are babies or mothers in there.
Beautiful forgiving Jack!
