You\u2019ve checked the pH, fed them in stages, and pruned the branches. And now you\u2019re standing in front of the buds, asking yourself the one question that matters: <strong>When do I cut?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvesting too early is the most costly mistake in cultivation. You lose potency, you lose yield, and you miss out on the full development of the terpenes that define the flavour and aroma. Harvesting too late causes the THC to degrade into CBN and shifts the effect towards something more sedative and heavy than anticipated. The difference between an optimal harvest and a premature one can be a matter of weeks, and the only way to know for sure is by examining the trichomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 This guide is part of our <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/2026\/03\/28\/guia-cultivar-cannabis-desde-semilla\/\">Complete Guide to Growing Cannabis from Seed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Table of contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#que-son\">What are trichomes and what do they contain?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#herramientas\">What you need to see them properly<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#tipos\">The three types of trichome<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#estados\">The four stages of trichoma<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#donde-mirar\">Where exactly to look<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#pistilos\">Pistils as a supplementary reference<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#ventana\">The harvest window according to the desired effect<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#automaticas\">Autoflowers: harvesting considerations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#errores\">Common mistakes when reading trichomes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"que-son\">What are trichomes and what do they contain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trichomes are the glandular structures that cover the buds, the small leaves surrounding them (sugar leaves) and, to a lesser extent, the large leaves and stems. To the naked eye, they look like a layer of frost or white crystals covering the surface of the bud. Under a magnifying glass, they reveal themselves to be tiny microscopic mushrooms with a spherical head on a slender stem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That spherical bud is a chemical factory. It is where the plant synthesises and stores most of its cannabinoids \u2014 THC, CBD, CBG, CBN and the rest \u2014 and all of the terpenes that determine its aroma and flavour. Everything that makes a bud potent, aromatic and distinctive in its effect is concentrated in those tiny structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The colour and appearance of the trichome head change as the cannabinoids mature and eventually break down. Accurately interpreting that colour allows you to determine the plant\u2019s exact stage of maturity. It is the most reliable method available because it directly measures what matters to you: the active compounds, not the bud\u2019s external appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"herramientas\">What you need to see them properly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the naked eye, you\u2019ll only be able to see that there are trichomes, not what condition they\u2019re in. You\u2019ll need magnification. There are three options, listed from least to most accurate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jeweller\u2019s magnifying glass (30\u201360x)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheapest and most practical option. A 30x magnifying glass with a built-in LED light costs between \u20ac5 and \u20ac15 and is sufficient for clearly seeing the colour of the trichome heads. The downside is that you need to hold the magnifying glass very close to the bud and keep a steady hand, which can become uncomfortable as you get tired. Look for models with their own lighting: without light, the trichomes are hard to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pocket microscope (60\u2013100x)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also known as a handheld microscope or a \u00abjeweller\u2019s loupe\u00bb. It offers greater magnification and is more comfortable to use than a jeweller\u2019s loupe. A magnification of 60x is more than enough to clearly distinguish the different stages. Models with a USB connection allow you to view the image on your mobile phone or computer, which makes assessment much easier. Price: \u20ac15\u201340.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital macro camera or microscope adapter for mobile phones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most convenient way to keep a record and compare progress over time. Some growers take weekly photos of the trichomes at the same spot on the bud and compare how they develop. A macro lens adapter for a mobile phone costs from \u20ac20 and, with good lighting, produces very clear images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lighting is just as important as the magnifying glass.<\/strong> Examine the trichomes using side lighting (a small torch held at an angle) rather than direct front lighting. Side lighting makes the trichomes glisten and makes the colours much easier to distinguish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tipos\">The three types of trichome: which one to look for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all trichomes are the same. Three types coexist in the cannabis plant, each with a different function and varying importance for the harvest:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capitate-stalked trichomes: the ones you can see<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the largest and most abundant in the buds. They have the classic mushroom shape: a long stem topped by a spherical cap. They contain the majority of the THC and terpenes, and are the only ones whose colour needs to be assessed to determine their maturity. When growers talk about \u00abreading the trichomes\u00bb, they are always referring to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Capitate-sessile trichomes (capitate-sessile)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are smaller, either without a stalk or with a very short one. They are spread across the entire surface of the leaves and buds. They contain cannabinoids, but in lower concentrations. They are not the ones you use to assess ripeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulbous trichomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are microscopic and invisible even under a 30x magnifying glass. They are found all over the plant and serve a defensive purpose. They are not a factor in the decision to harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical conclusion:<\/strong> When examining the trichomes, look for the larger, clearly mushroom-shaped structures on the buds. Ignore the smaller structures on the large leaves \u2014 they mature earlier and will give you a premature reading that does not reflect the bud\u2019s actual condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estados\">The four stages of trichome development: the key to a successful harvest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heads of capitate trichomes go through four colour stages as the cannabinoids are synthesised, reach their peak and break down. Correctly identifying which stage they are at \u2014 and in what proportion \u2014 is what determines when to harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State 1: Transparent \/ Crystal-clear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head of the trichome is completely colourless and translucent, like a drop of water or a piece of glass. The interior is liquid and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does this mean:<\/strong> The plant is still actively synthesising cannabinoids. THC is being produced, not stored. The buds are continuing to grow and become more potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action:<\/strong> Don\u2019t harvest yet. There are still a few weeks to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State 2: Milky \/ Opaque white<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head of the trichome becomes opaque, milky white or whitish in colour. It is no longer translucent: light does not pass through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does this mean:<\/strong> The THC has reached its peak concentration. The bud is full of cannabinoids in their most potent form. The terpenes are also at their highest concentration, although some \u2014 particularly the most volatile ones \u2014 may continue to develop for a few more days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Harvest effect at this point:<\/strong> More cerebral, more energetic, with a more \u00absativa\u00bb-like sensation regardless of the genetics. A cleaner psychoactive profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Status 3: Amber \/ Orange<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bud begins to take on a golden yellow, orange or amber colour. The process is gradual: first a few individual trichomes, then an increasing proportion of the total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does this mean:<\/strong> THC is breaking down into CBN (cannabinol), a cannabinoid with a predominantly sedative and relaxing effect. At the same time, some of the more volatile terpenes are evaporating or breaking down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Harvest effect at this point:<\/strong> more physical, more sedative, more heavy. The classic \u00abcouchlock\u00bb effect that some users seek to help them sleep or for chronic pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Condition 4: Brown \/ Wilted<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heads are dark, brown and often bent or collapsed. The stem may also be bent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does this mean:<\/strong> Advanced degradation. Very low THC, high CBN, minimal terpenes. The bud has passed its optimal window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action:<\/strong> Harvest immediately if you haven\u2019t already done so. The quality will continue to deteriorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"donde-mirar\">Where exactly to look<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This detail is what distinguishes an accurate reading from a misleading one. Trichomes do not mature uniformly across the whole plant: some areas are ahead of others, whilst others lag behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Plant area<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maturation rate<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Use for reading<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Upper buds (main stem)<\/td><td>The fastest ones. They get more light.<\/td><td><strong>Yes.<\/strong> Main reference.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Middle lateral buds<\/td><td>Average speed.<\/td><td><strong>Yes.<\/strong> This confirms the reading above.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lower buds (under the canopy)<\/td><td>The slowest ones. Less light.<\/td><td>For reference only. Not for deciding on the harvest.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sugar leaves (young leaves from the heart of the plant)<\/td><td>Faster than buds.<\/td><td><strong>No.<\/strong> They mature earlier and take their exams early.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Large leaves (fan leaves)<\/td><td>The first ones in amber.<\/td><td><strong>No.<\/strong> They are not representative of the core.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correct place to check is the surface of the bud itself, on the upper or middle buds of the plant. If you only examine the sugar leaves surrounding the bud, you will see amber colouring too early and may harvest the crop unnecessarily early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical technique:<\/strong> Use a clean pair of scissors to cut a small piece of the bud \u2014 not the leaf \u2014 and place it flat under the magnifying glass. The flat surface is much easier to focus on than the whole bud, which is three-dimensional and difficult to hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pistilos\">Pistils as a supplementary reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pistils are the \u00abhairs\u00bb of the bud: long filaments that are white or cream-coloured at the start of flowering and gradually darken (to orange or reddish-brown) and retract towards the bud as the plant matures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are visible to the naked eye and many growers use them as the first sign that harvest time is approaching. They are less accurate than trichomes, but useful as a quick indicator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">% of darkened pistils<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Interpretation<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Less than 50 %<\/td><td>Active flowering. Too early to harvest.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>50\u201370 %<\/td><td>Late flowering stage. Start checking the trichomes regularly.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>70\u201390 %<\/td><td>Probable harvest area. Check for trichomes.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Over 90 %<\/td><td>Advanced stage of ripening. The trichomes are likely to have turned amber. Harvest soon.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The downside of pistils is that their colour can change due to factors unrelated to maturity: pollination, mechanical damage, fungal infection or sudden changes in humidity can cause the pistils to darken even before the buds have matured. Always check the trichomes before harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ventana\">The harvest window depending on the desired effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no single \u00abcorrect\u00bb time to harvest. There is a window, and within that window the decision depends on the effect you\u2019re aiming for. Here is a practical guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Harvest time<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Condition of the trichomes<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Effect profile<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Who is it for?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Early<\/strong><\/td><td>90\u2013100 % milky, 0\u20135 % amber<\/td><td>Mind-expanding, euphoric, energising. A fresher, more floral aroma.<\/td><td>Daytime use, creativity, physical activity.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Perfectly balanced<\/strong><\/td><td>70\u201380 % milky, 20\u201330 % amber<\/td><td>A balance between cerebral and physical effects. The most complex terpene profile.<\/td><td>General use \u2013 the preferred choice for most growers.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Late<\/strong><\/td><td>40\u201350 % milky, 50\u201360 % amber<\/td><td>Nourishing, soothing, deeply relaxing. A more earthy and spicy aroma.<\/td><td>Night-time use, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>For specific medicinal use<\/td><td>Depending on the target cannabinoid (THC or CBN)<\/td><td>Variable<\/td><td>Consult a healthcare professional depending on your condition.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genetics also influence the sweet spot. A sativa or sativa-dominant strain usually needs a little more amber to round off the effect \u2014 without it, it can be quite anxiety-inducing. A pure indica is usually at its best with less amber, as it already has a more sedative profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The genetics of <strong>00 Seeds<\/strong>, predominantly high-potency Indica strains, tend to perform at their best at the \u00aboptimum balance\u00bb point: 20\u201330 % of amber. Strains such as <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/2026\/02\/24\/gorilla-glue-strain-cannabis-cultivation-00-seeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gorilla Glue<\/a> o <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/2026\/02\/23\/gelato-cannabis-strains-00-seeds-advanced\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gelato<\/a> With a 25\u201330 % amber colour, they display a depth of flavour and an aromatic profile that is lost if they are harvested too early or too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"automaticas\">Autoflowers: harvesting considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autoflowering seeds have a slightly different relationship with trichome development. The cycle is more condensed and maturation can be more uneven between buds on the same plant. Two important adjustments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staggered maturation is more common<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many autoflowering strains, the top buds may be ready for harvest whilst the lower ones still have milky trichomes with little or no amber. The solution is the <strong>staggered harvest<\/strong>: First, harvest the ripest buds (the ones at the top) and leave the lower ones under the light for a further 5\u201310 days to allow them to finish ripening. You\u2019ll get better quality across the whole plant than if you harvest it all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The manufacturer\u2019s schedule is a guide, not an absolute truth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/2026\/02\/18\/apple-bananas-fem-auto-analisis-00-seeds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automatic, announced as 70 days<\/a> It may take 65 or 80 days, depending on the environment, temperature, nutrition and the individual genetics of that plant. Use the calendar as a guide for when to start checking the trichomes regularly, not as a fixed harvest date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 View the full catalogue of <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/categoria\/automaticas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autoflowering seeds from 00 Seeds<\/a> with flowering data by variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"errores\">Common mistakes when reading trichomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look at the sugar leaves rather than the bud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The small leaves surrounding the bud mature faster than the bud itself. If you examine the trichomes on the sugar leaves, you\u2019ll see them turn amber days or weeks before the bud is actually ready. Always look directly at the surface of the bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Confusing CBDa in crystallisation with milky trichomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In high-CBD strains, some structures may appear opaque for reasons other than THC maturation. If you are growing CBD strains, the trichome maturation profile is similar, but the optimum point may fall within a different timeframe. Please refer to the specific technical data sheet for the strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making a decision based on a single test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trichomes mature gradually. A single observation may coincide with an atypical moment. The best approach is to check every 2\u20133 days during the last week or two of flowering and monitor how things develop before making a decision. The overall trend is more important than a single data point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ignoring genetics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some strains never develop much amber colour, even when fully mature. Others develop amber colour early on, without the THC having degraded significantly. The seed\u2019s technical specifications and the experience gained with that strain are important factors in interpreting the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delaying the harvest for fear of making a mistake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many growers wait longer than necessary because they\u2019re afraid of harvesting too early. The result is that they harvest too late. If the trichomes show the profile you\u2019re looking for, harvest. The plant isn\u2019t going to keep improving indefinitely: there\u2019s a cut-off point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: a magnifying glass is the cheapest investment in your kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 30x magnifying glass with an LED light costs less than \u20ac15 and completely removes any uncertainty about when to harvest. It is the only tool that gives you direct information about the cannabinoid levels in your bud \u2014 everything else (the calendar, the colour of the pistils, the external appearance) is just an approximation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The technique is quick to learn. After two or three harvests spent scrutinising the produce, you develop an eye for distinguishing the different stages almost immediately. And that skill, once acquired, makes a lasting difference to the quality of your harvests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 Return to the <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/2026\/03\/28\/guia-cultivar-cannabis-desde-semilla\/\">Complete Cultivation Guide<\/a> for the next step: drying and curing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 Choose your next genetics in the <a href=\"https:\/\/00seeds.com\/en\/web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">00 Seeds catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you unsure about what you\u2019re seeing under the magnifying glass?<\/strong> Describe the colour and proportion of trichomes you see in the comments \u2014 strain, week of flowering and part of the plant \u2014 and we\u2019ll give you a reading.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Llevas meses cuidando tus plantas.
