Patience is a bitch when they get close! My friend Antdog, after watching me cut down some too young plants, told me a long time ago that to take them before some ambers show up is like cutting a rose when it's still a rosebud. It's all about the trichs being the right color at chop. You're gonna hit it just right bro! 3 in 20 amber is my mark. There's a day when I'm really close that I smell a certain loud smell of skunk, with any strain, that says 'Now!'. Maybe just me. Haa!
