No Cloudy Trichomes in Late Flower — What Should You Do? 🌿Updated 12 days ago

If you’re deep into flower and still not seeing any cloudy trichomes, the best move is usually to wait and let the plant keep maturing.

Clear trichomes mean cannabinoid development isn’t finished yet. Even if you’re well past the breeder’s estimated flowering window, harvesting at this stage can lead to weaker effects and less developed flavor.

Flowering timelines are guidelines, not deadlines. Some plants simply take longer to reach full trichome maturity, especially under certain environmental conditions.

Keep checking trichomes every few days with a loupe or microscope. You’re looking for trichomes to turn mostly cloudy, with amber appearing later depending on the effect you prefer.

As long as the plant remains healthy and trichomes are still clear, letting it continue is usually the right call. Patience here often pays off with better potency and a more complete final result 🌱
