Trichs Never Turn Amber

Ak-47 is sativa dominant the trichs could possibly not turn amber or very little,believe it or not a lot of sativa or sativa dominant plants does this that's why it is recommended to harvest when trichs are cloudy opposed to indica which is harvest when amber.This has even happened in some indica grows but usually the cause is human error with indica.

How is abiding by scientific research, studies and evidence equivalent to '1 set of rules'?

It's the exact opposite, nothing is factual until it's been rigorously proven by 'countless' seperate tests.

This is after all a plant, and a very sturdy genus at that.
You can basically toss the seeds on some moist soil and you will see growth.

Doesn't mean there aren't ways of maximising potency, yield, look, taste etc. :bigjoint:

That was a fun read. How many have seen white pistils with all cloudy trichs and some amber.? ( yes tiny clear ones). Cut or wait..opinions please. Will the buds swell more but degrade? I have one strain that does this. Hawaiian Rush..I cut. Put me on my ass. Thinking of this next run.

Why do you people think different strains have different buzzes? Its because of the different mixes of cannabinoids! You people get so involved in prooving your point you forget the questions. Amber trichs may be classed a degrading but that is what makes a couch lock is the ambers mixing and changing the affects. It comes down to what you what from a strain, a young strain will give you a more alert high and older strain more of a couch lock and more medicinal.

It was mentioned that some people do not flush, flushing with water only, will hurry the girls along and should show amber thrichs a little quicker, if that is your goal.

It's down to the genetics of the plant.
But the couch-lock effect does not stem from CBN.

Whether a strain delivers a couch-lock effect or an energetic effect is down to the phenotype.
A Sativa strain will deliver an energetic high.
An Indica strain will deliver a couch-lock high.
Hybrids can bring the best of both phenotypes (or worst if the genetics are bad).

Saying that a 'young' strain (whatever you mean by that I don't know) delivers an alert high and that an older strain delivers a couch-lock high is not factually accurate.

Your flushing argument seems like a regular pre-harvest flushing argument a la pushing out trichomes faster, removing chem taste.
Which have no supporting evidence and are therefore easily disproven.

Are you using Serious Seeds AK-47?

My latest AK-47 grow (on which you posted a response - thank you) went by the book - or reasonably so - I had about 20% amber trichomes on day 61 - at which point I harvested - and early smoke reports are really good.

But I used a Digital USB microscope to view the trichomes - I can't hold a jeweler's loupe steady enough to do any good.

That was only my second grow, so I can't post advice as an expert. But things went really well from planting to harvest...good luck
