harvesting time is more preference depending on the high you want. I don't really go by amber trichs either. That's because light degrades trichs. Those amber trichs can disappear. I watch firnthe orange / brownish hairs to recede into calyx. Then over the next couple days the calyx swell quite a bit. Then its chop time. Now I'm not waiting for all hairs. There will be some white hairs of course from the sativa traits. This can be applied to most strains. But judging finishing time based on trich color can be misleading
I will say this one last time. The logic and the advice on every single post on here says that you should harvest when
trics are 50% or higher amber.
I was just pointing out that this is a myth and or not true for many many strains now being sold.
For those posting saying sativa's don't amber well wow I really thought cannabis didn't make you stupid but.
I have grown more than one sativa dom strain and they do but it is strain specific.
One finished in like 12 to 18 weeks and it did amber.
My strains don't amber and well they are done way before they would if I left them and they would be
trash if I left them.
People also say sativa's take longer to finish and I have grown those also but some don't that are sativa dom.
Both mine finish in 48 to 52 days and I mean they are ripe and done.
It is about strain as well. Not conditions because my conditions never change and I have done like 18 strains now.
For the haters out here go get yourselves a great thai strain. You will love them. LOLOLOL.. Hope your grand kids like weed too because it will take them longer than it takes to grow old to finish those bastards.. No really I am joking go get a great thai strain. you will love them. really. No REally...
